The Jack Rabbit

Location: Various

This was the first time I went on a second date …and a third, and a fourth, with the same guy. This guy was good looking, interesting and we had quite similar backgrounds, so lots in common. I can’t remember all the dates, but one really memorable one we took a boat down the Thames and got off at Greenwich for a walk around the park, then drinks and a meal before getting the boat back to the city. He was a good kisser (really important after the previous experience!) and after the fourth date I decided to bring him back to the flat.

Unfortunately (there’s so many unfortunatelies in this blog!), that was where the fun stopped. It was exactly like the episode in Sex and The City where Carrie decides she will have a fling and asks herself ‘how bad could it be?’ The answer…'he and I had sex like we were teenagers again. Meaning he had no idea what he was doing, and I didn’t say anything.’


Again, like with ‘Sloppy Kisser’ I have since wondered whether I should have given him another go, because first time sex with a new person is never all that amazing. But I just couldn’t bring myself to go through it again. 
Two years down the line, back in the dating game and slightly more jaded, I do wish maybe I hadn’t given up on him so easily. But it could be a lucky escape for my back!

Note to all guys anywhere, in case you haven't figured it out yet, this type of sex is not good!

The Twitchy Eye Guy

Location: All Bar One, Clapham My very first online blind date! I was super nervous and had no idea what to expect and no idea how I would recognise him. I had dressed up to go to work and made lots of effort. More fool me. We had decided to meet at the entrance to Clapham Junction Station. Looking back, what on earth was I thinking? CJ is the busiest station ever and not a good place to meet a blind date for the first time. I was standing with my back to the coffee house watching all the people come through the barriers, when I spotted a guy waiting across the way from me who I thought could be my date. We made eye contact and he smiled. I thought ‘jack-pot’ as he was seriously good looking and I was just about to saunter over when a girl (clearly his girlfriend!) tapped him on the shoulder and kissed him. My first taste of disappointment, but definitely not to be my last. When my date did finally appear, he wasn’t quite what I was expecting from his pictures (under...

The ‘No Spark’ guy

Location: The Portcullis  I know a girl who goes on 3 dates with every single guy she matches with online, because she says you can’t tell from just one date what they’re really like and whether you actually fancy them.  I see her point, but tend to disagree. For the majority of dates I’ve been on, I've known within the first five minutes I didn’t fancy them! That sounds harsh, but actually it's not got anything to do with looks, height or even how interesting they are. If you don’t have that connection, that 'spark', then it’s not going to go anywhere. That stupid little spark is so important it can overcome anything, so that even if someone is not your usual 'type', you fancy the pants off them. I'm sure there have been many times when a guy has felt that 'something' wasn't there with me. It can hurt, but you just have to accept it and move on. Saying that though, there was one guy I should maybe have tried the 3-dat...

The Sloppy Kisser

Location: Bar near Oxford Circus Still quite new to online dating apps, the messages exchanged between me and this next guy seemed definitely promising…funny, witty and very flirtatious – for some reason we agreed that we would kiss upon meeting (despite being complete strangers) and I was actually really looking forward to the date. Lesson learnt – never look forward to it and never get your hopes up. They will be dashed!  We did indeed kiss upon meeting. But unfortunately it was so horrendously awful that I had to subtly wipe my face with my hand to remove the slobber! This is the first example of how my dating life is starting to mirror that of the Sex and The City girls...and not in a good way. To quote Charlotte: 'It was all around my mouth!' The next half hour passed by in a bit of a blur. I think he was ok…he was good looking and quite funny as I recall, but I was so worried about the chance he might try and kiss me...
