Can hot people take rejection

May 24, 2020

You hear a familiar shuffle and twist of necks as you walk into the dimly lit room. Feel them look at you as you glide across the stained wooden floor, their eyes meet your skin, your lips but your gaze frustratingly escape theirs as if meeting them would steal the gift from you. Your confidence, you’re poise, you’re… hotness.

Dating during Covid-19 or Dating during an apocalypse

May 6, 2020

Dating during Covid-19 is difficult… it’s been about 3 months since the start of the apocalypse… Yes, I’m being dramatic and I mean Covid-19, kinda feels like the start of the end though doesn’t it… Yes, dramatic. It’s now been about 1 month or more of isolation for those in Europe smart and empathetic enough to do so.

Why you can be glad it didn’t work out

March 13, 2020

My thoughts on Dating and Sex

February 9, 2020

About 18ish years ago a group of kids, myself included were given quite a descriptive demonstration of the effects of dating and sex on an unprepared soul. Our educator got two pieces of white paper (not very inclusive) and began to smear a white gluey substance on one of the sheets. He then began to rub the two sheets together, which I suppose is fitting considering the context.

October 16, 2019

We are different people when in cyberspace and dating apps. It’s a Saturday evening, you’ve been talking to this new match you met on a date recently. You’re keen but know not to get too excited because… you know dating. But the signs are positive, they’ve asked to see you again, today in fact.

Should you ask out a stranger

August 14, 2019

I’ve always told myself and other people that I want to ask out a stranger more often. Not randomly and sporadically of course, it’s not like I want to treat every woman on my morning train like They’re on a yo-sushi conveyor belt. Plucking out the tasty colourful ones.

July 22, 2019

Should you make an effort for a first date

Should you dress up for a first date

June 24, 2019

So should we dress up for a first date? Thanks to Eve’s ethos of “food is life” and Adam’s FOMO we are the only species on earth that get red faced about our bits flailing about. And thanks to the evolution of human society, there are many different and unique ways to keep our bits from flailing about, or at least let them flail how we please.

I ran into a failed date

March 3, 2019

It’s a cold, grey and busy Thursday evening out. Business as usual in the place I insist to call home, well.. until they try to draft me into world war 3. And like routine I am in a bar celebrating the naked day of a colleague while simultaneously trying to encourage him to drown it out of his memory.

February 10, 2019

Everyone gets anxious about something, some more than others and about almost anything you can think of. Their weight, their jobs, their face, their knees, their height, if anyone heard that fart that squeaked it’s way out and so on.

I’ve always been brought up with the mindset of treat others as you would like to be treated, it’s only fair right? It’s the reason I never join into the strange game where you whack each other in the groin, I don’t like it so he probably wouldn’t… probably. (more…)
