The one after the 'Less-Than-30-Minute One’

Location: White Lion Bar


Not much to say about this one really. I knew immediately after meeting him that I didn’t fancy him, but after the date last week I was feeling so guilty that I stayed for 4 hours, sinking many humongous glasses of white wine in the process just to avoid the same situation occurring again!

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...

Dating Disasters...why me?!

Hello Readers and welcome to my blog! I decided to start writing this after a lovely, if slightly depressing, weekend with my uni mates who all have boyfriends/husbands/babies/houses. I am the only single one left, and according to them I am ‘living the life’! I do love being super independent, and have had a lot of fun, but at the same time I would really like a special someone as well (not so fussed about the baby bit!) This blog captures some of the dates I have experienced since becoming single. They’re pretty funny now I look back (well I can either laugh or cry!) and writing it has given me a completely different mindset, where I am now actually looking forward to my next disastrous date!  I hope you enjoy reading…   P.S Dad, please don’t read this, it contains things you might not want to know about your youngest daughter! P.P.S I am not a total bitch! Many of these guys are lovely, we just didn’t connect. That's the dating world for you! Disclaimer...

The Divorced Guy

Location: Various Following previous dating disasters, I’d already lined up my excuses with this one so that I could leave after one drink and for that not to be regarded as ‘bad etiquette’. But I arrived at the bar and thought perhaps I wouldn’t actually need them…he was good looking, normally dressed, normal everything! And really easy to talk to. That’s why, even when he slipped into the conversation that he had been married (no kids) and was going through a divorce, I barely even flinched. And it really didn’t bother me at all, which surprised me somewhat (clearly getting desperate!). He said they had just got married far too quickly and were breaking up on good terms. He was from Essex and had the tiniest twinge of an accent, which, with me being completely prejudiced, made me  immediately assume he was the typical Essex-boy stereotype. But I felt really bad for even thinking that as it turned out he was very intelligent, could speak German and a bit of Mandarin ...
