Vote for love
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me … nothing, because I was still single. But my single status isn’t due to lack of interest—in fact, thanks to eHarmony, I went on more first dates in the last three months of 2014 than I had IN TOTAL in the past three […]
MoreLet them eat cake
I love baking; I bake for my friends, my colleagues, my family and, sometimes for the lucky few, my dates—although offering up something you’ve cooked just for them sometimes feels a bit more intimate than whipping off your clothes and getting down to business can be. It’s a little like coming right out and saying, […]
MoreDates behaving badly
“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.” —Groucho Marx— Whether you are online dating, or catching up with people you met IRL (in real life), it’s inevitable that bad dates will happen. There are those like the girl who over shared about her sexual history, the guy who spits in public, ones […]
MoreIt’s complicated? It’s bullsh*t.
“Every relationship reaches the “So…” moment, where someone in the relationship will want to take the relationship to a more serious place.” — Are we officially dating? The phrase ‘it’s complicated’ is currently tracking as my most hated phrase and all because, when it comes to dating, things are always … well, complicated. A couple of months […]
MoreNeedle in a haystack
Do you ever wish that when it came to dating, you could skip over the dodgy people and move straight to the great ones? Well, you aren’t alone. I find that meeting people in ‘the real world’ is harder than some already married people think, especially if you’re over 30. Does anyone really strike up […]
MoreIt’s just a date
“The scary thing about dating is that you are either going to marry that person or break up.” I stumbled across this heart-warming little sentiment earlier this year, and it put fear into my heart for two reasons. Firstly, I’m not sure I’m ready for marriage and, secondly, no one likes being dumped. If you’re anything […]
MoreSingle in The City
From the first episode of Sex and The City, I was hooked. As each season went by, I fell more in love with Carrie Bradshaw and, of course, Big (I’m saying it again, as nice as Aiden was, I was ALWAYS for Big). Now, more than two decades on, I live in a cool(ish) apartment, […]
MoreBack off Bachie Blake
Last year I got swept up in The Bachelor Australia phenomenon; I knew all the players, watched each episode and was once, somewhat embarrassingly, named in the Top 3 tweeters for an episode. But this year’s series lost me from the get-go. I was snuggled down on the couch all ready to commit to another […]
