Thank F Christmas is over with, I bloody hate Christmas at the best of times but when your single it's even worse! The only thing good about Christmas is the time off work, the alcohol I can consume without anyone moaning at me about it and seeing my little boy's excited face when he realises Santas's been, then laughing at the confusion on his face when he is trying to work out just how Santa got in.
This December we have faced snow, ice, bitterly cold winds and God know's how many virus', just to top off the shittest year on record!
Well everybody, all that is about to change! 2011 is almost upon us and I HAVE to make it my year! If it turns out to be as crap as this year there won't be much point stepping out the front door each day, and I think I may even voluntarily get myself a booking in a room with padded walls!
Let's look at the low points
* (end of 2009) my partner of nearly 6 years leaves me unexpectedly
* 4 weeks after this awful event, said partner gets it on with another girl
* I start out on the most horrific, horrendous, disastrous adventure into the world of dating, complete with crew and forces men galore
* Ex informs me he is going to be a dad! (as previously mentioned, with me he was the biggest commitment phobe ever and we were together almost 6 years)!
* still experimenting in the world of dating, haven't lost hope yet
* I actually meet a guy through work, young, hot, lasts 5 weeks and then boom all over!
* Then along comes Yogi, ahhhhh Yogi, well just when I thought i'd found someone who actually liked me, just over 3 months later he does a disappearing act even Houdini would be proud of!
* Ex has his baby
Now this list doesn't seem that long, but take into account that i've previously detailed nightmare dates so avid readers of the blog will know just how horrendous the world of dating has been for me, this is merely bullet points. Each revelation my ex could have delivered, he did and each one more devastating than the last, but no more. It's done, dusted, he was a huge part of my life but that chapter is over.
So i'm counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds until New Year is upon us, i've decided to go away for the New Year and see it in with some of my bestest friends in the whole world. Girls you just couldn't and wouldn't want to be without, whilst they will be snogging the face off their husbands and fiance's at midnight, I will be staring into the bottom of my triple vodka, lime & lemonade, but this year it will be with a smile on my face knowing that nothing and no-one is going to put me back into that dark, black hole I was in this time last year. Oh, and I will also be dressed as the poisoned apple from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, picture that if you will!
So come on 2011 hurry up and arrive, I can't wait to hear that clock strike, to count down from 10 and to sing auld lang syne, I will be singing the loudest and smiling the most.
For the friends I won't be with on New Year's eve, you all know who you are and how important you are to me. I couldn't have got through this year without you and i'll never forget how amazing you all are. Another year of friendship and adventures awaits us
HAPPY NEW YEAR :-)

What are the chances!!!
What are the odds that the next proper boyfriend you meet after splitting with your long term partner has exactly the same birthday as the ex?
On top of that what's the odds that said boyfriend dumps you on the exact 12 month anniversary since said long term boyfriend dumped you?
So that's 2 boyfriends with the same birthday both dump you on the same day 2 consecutive years running......... Billions to 1 chance of it happening....
Well I should have got myself to Ladbrokes and placed that bet because it looks like it has happened to me!!!! All I can say is JUST MY LUCK!!!!!! Oh and the lotto numbers this week will be 3, 6, 19, 21, 30 & 44!!
Now I can't confirm 100% I have been dumped but if I haven't then he has some explaining to do! He hasn't answered my texts or phonecalls and there is no reason I know of that he wouldn't be able to do so, unless something happened to him on the drive home from Scotland in the awful 'big freeze' driving conditions. But surely if something had happened to him, whoever now has his phone would pay attention to the fact it has been ringing and text messages arriving and think 'hmmmm better have a look at this'!
I'm really worried he's seriously injured or worse and I know nothing about it, but at the same time i'm also really worried he doesn't want to see me anymore :-( it was going so well so I will be a bit gutted if and when I actually get confirmation of the 'dumping'.
I got a bit tipsy on Saturday night and did phone him a few times but seriously if that has annoyed him, he should remind himself of the many early hours drunk phonecalls he has given me and I've answered every single one! He didn't answer mine so he doesn't really have any reason to be annoyed!!!!!
Why when blokes think they don't want to see you anymore, do they just seem to disappear into thin air and leave you wondering rather than being a grown up, and telling you to your face? At least it removes the worry they are trapped in a well somewhere, calling your name into the air and no-one hearing their cries for help! As hard as the words 'it's not you, it's me' are to hear it's much better than being ignored! I've said it before, men should just be honest, i've told blokes I don't want to see them anymore. It's hard but it's much better than the continuing texts or phonecalls which you just ignore but bug you that they don't get the hint!
I really do have the most tragic love life of anyone I know, this isn't me feeling sorry for myself, it's me realising that I am destined to a life of being single! I'm getting to old to expect there to be a single bloke round every corner, so I think I just have to accept this is how it's going to be from now on.
If by some miracle I haven't been dumped I will update you as and when the information comes my way! God and I've already bought his Christmas presents, what a bloody waste of money that might be!!!!!!!

One Chapter Closing
This time next week it will be 1 year to the day since my ex left me, and what a year it's been!! I have to say I truly thought my life was never going to get better, but as they say things have to get worse before they get better.
The first 8 months were the worst ever, some of the most horrible events happened, things I won't depress everyone with but needless to say the saddest few months of my life. Never again do I want to be hurt like that, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (ok, actually I would wish that sort of pain and sadness on my worst enemy) but I wouldn't wish it on someone I simply just didn't like!
My ex continued to shock me, first he left me, 4 weeks later I discover through the wonder that is facebook he has got it on with the counter girl in his shop and then 2 months after that, they are having a baby! My ex being the biggest commitment phobe in the world made these lovely surprises even more shocking! But, and it wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination, I can now say I'm over him!
Moving on to some of the worst dating disasters anyone has ever known! Who could forget 'the crew' I think I will be telling my grandkids about that one someday when they are looking for love advice. Granny Love Guru, that's what i'll be!
I know I have a couple of spots but I seriously did not think it would be that hard to meet someone normal! As I've said in some older posts when you stop looking for love it smacks you in the face when you least expect it.......
Now I haven't written about this one before, but I have met someone. It was on a night out with workmates from my previous job (big hello to Mr H if your reading this) and I very randomly decided to go on 'manhunt' with a complete stranger, but boy am I glad I did. This man has given me the happiest 11 weeks of this whole entire year! He's a gentleman, he's kind, he likes me for me and he makes me feel great!! Yes folks, you read it right 11 weeks!!!!!! Record!!! He's a little older than me, completely gorgeous and great arms! I've even changed my relationship status on facebook! Check me out!! That's all I am going to write about him for now......
I've just arrived home from a weekend in Butlins and whilst there I saw the other love of my life PETER ANDRE!!! What I would give to have a nibble on those arms!! He was completely amazing, brilliant and fantastic! He couldn't dance at all as he has been poorly but even without dancing he put on a superb show! Of course no concert is complete without the middle aged woman who gets a little too excited with the old sherry bottle and ends up causing a scene, she point blank refused to be removed from her seat so she ended up being dragged from it. I'm not sure but I think she might have even punched someone, the corner of the crowd she was in cheered very loudly when she was taken out, if that was my mum I would have disowned her there and then! Never mind 'call the doctor' call a bloody lawyer to arrange divorcing your parents!!!
I suppose the reason I chucked the Team Andre experience in this post was to show that I have been having fun, something I didn't think I'd ever have again. But I've pushed myself to do things I didn't do before, weekends away to watch gorgeous Pete, last weekend I was in Brighton with my gorgeous friends and all our gorgeous children. I have action packed weekends right up til New Year and can honestly say I am loving life right now.
Fingers crossed I am still saying this in the next post..........

How rubbish am I!
Well how long has it been since I last posted!! If I still have any loyal readers I am sooooo sorry for being so rubbish!
I've found myself a new job, i'm no longer working with the wonderful Mr H or the fantabulous Mr Arms, sad times, but i've made a career move and am really enjoying it. Although this has left me with little time for updates as you have probably gathered!!!
I'm a bit hesistant to comment on my current love life situation as I don't want to jinx it but needless to say it is interesting at the moment, so I really do need to find other topics to talk about. What would you like to see on here?
I do have a friend who has now entered the dating scene and I plan to update the blog with her own dating disasters as and when she fills me in on them. Most recently she was worrying about her date with a country bumpkin on friday who only owned 2 pairs of shoes!!! I know men are nothing like women when it comes to shoes, but 2 pairs! Are you serious?? Further updates to follow when I know more......

I gotta get me a hobby!!!!!
Right people tonight I have the found the answer!! I need to get me a hobby!!!
One of my very dear friends has finally found the love of her life, now when I say finally I don't mean she has been left on the shelf with the reduced sticker on for what would be a serious health and safety breach, she has just been a little bit picky when it comes to the men folk!!!
The place - a roller skating marathon (Believe people, believe)!! Yes she is an adult, and yes this is the truth. Happily skating along minding her own business when all of a sudden he noticed her £45 roller disco skates and it was love at first sight for both of them. Ok when I say minding her own busines, what I actually mean is she was like a meercat on wheels, almost falling over her own feet with every man that skated past!
Here we are 3 1/2 wks into her new found love of mankind and he's already suggesting consulting her when he remortgages!!
Seriously if I had known the way to a man's heart was through a pair of roller skates I would have upgraded to roller blades and been entering the skating olympics by now. However, at the tender age of 27 I feel that I may be too old to learn this wonderful sport, so I need to find me a hobby that will bring the men to me in droves, but what one?????
My new found love guru who shall be referred to only as the black widow offers me these top tips
* Make him feel more important than your friends by texting or facebooking on your phone the entire night when your meant to be out with them
* Bribe any kids involved with sweets, or fizzy drinks
* Move personal possessions into their home whilst they are out
* Persuade them they did ask you to move in whilst under the influence of alcohol (secretly you buy them doubles)
* Visit the mother in law without them!
* Spend your entire life savings on their birthday presents, when their birthday happens to be only 3 weeks after meeting!
I know where I have been going wrong, forget playing it cool, forget not scaring them off, just go in for the kill and ask them to marry me in the very first text!
The other friend who was with me when being taught this valuable lesson has suggested I enrol on a massage course, now that sounds like a hobby that could come in handy, every man likes a massage! So my future love interests you could get lucky and have me rub lots of oil into you and get those knots out!
The black widow has just piped up with pole dancing, seriously this girl is on a role! Don't ever leave me black widow, I need you to stay with me and teach me everything you know!!!!!

Your comments Gentlemen please!
This post is for all you lovely men out there, ok well just men will do! I just want to know a bit about how your minds work. You see, as much as i'm not looking for love as such anymore I want to make sure that if Prince Charming does decide to pass through Plymouth and takes a fancy to this janner that I don't muck it up like I normally do!
What is it you want? Is it a good thing if a girl says she likes you, or does that scream 'needy cling on' at you? Do you like it if a woman asks you out for a drink or do you want to do all the chasing? If you start chatting to a girl is it because you genuinely want a chat as mates or is it usually because you want to get it on with her? Is asking to clarify if your dates could turn into a relationship quite possibly the worst question a girl could ask you? Why do you go quiet when your asked something you perhaps don't want to hear instead of speaking truthfully with the girl in question? Should the girl wait for you to request to link up with her and change your relationship status on facebook? (Ok that last one isn't quite as important as I haven't got anywhere remotely near as far as this stage with a man in the last 10 months but miracles do happen)!!!
There are so many unanswered questions about the reactions you men have to various different actions, and quite frankly it bloody frightens me that so many small things can put the final nail in the coffin for any potential relationship that may come my way! I am confused.com when it comes to the male species!
This post isn't aimed particularly at anyone I just want to know whats goes on in those wonderfully interesting little minds of yours! So please gentlemen give me some clues, hints, tips about how you men work, what you like and what not to do! I excitedly await your help.....

Cheats Everywhere
OMG!! We read in the papers and claim to be totally shocked that the likes of Ashley Cole or Tiger Woods yet I don't know why we are shocked!! They may be very well paid sportsmen but they are human beings and after my experiences this year I know that many, many men are ready to cheat their little naked behinds off if they get the chance!
I probably need more fingers and toes to be able to count the amount of serious offers I have had from the 'attached' kind of male species this year. 'Can I come over for a cup of coffee' or 'fancy some fun' being mainly the secret code words for 'can we get it on whenever I feel like it without the MRS knowing'!!!
Well no boys you can't! I think your disgraceful, you do not know how lucky you are to have a girlfriend or wife who is crazy enough to love you! I don't want you, I don't even want to bloody well talk to you anymore, you make me sick and I've totally had enough of your slimy sexual comments! Cheating is not sexy guys and it certainly doesn't turn me on you loser! The thinking your irresistable actually makes me want to puke and it's getting boring now! However revealing all to your girlfriend or wife about how you 'want to nail me' perhaps may give me a lot of pleasure!
My advice to you gents is this.... I'm not going to stand by while you degrade us women in this way, if you continue to try it on with me I will be catching up with your lady friend and believe me boys revenge is sweet!!!!!

Me + Alcohol + Phone = Lost friends
I've mentioned in previous posts that I can be a bit of a nuisance with my phone when drinking, well in recent weeks a bit of a nuisance is a huge understatement..
This last weekend was a bank holiday weekend and I had planned to go away, however plans change and so I found myself arranging to go out drinking most of the weekend! So starting with Saturday night, I went out with my fabulous ladies and drank rather alot, poor RAF man found himself being drunk called and text rather a lot, he chose not to answer!
Sunday I decided to make an entire day of it and not only did Mr RAF man yet again get abused with texts and calls but practically my entire phonebook did at 3am!!!!!!!
Luckily for me Mr RAF doesn't seem to mind (at the moment) and sleeps practically through my whole weirdo, have to ring you in the middle of the night for no reason at all, moments! In fact, he seems to think it's funny!! Bet he wouldn't if they did actually wake him up!
This serial drunk texting has now turned into phonecalls and Im losing friends! I don't know how to stop myself, but I know I have to stop, as soon nobody will be talking to me! I can't not take my phone out with me as I have to be contactable, it seems to happen even if im not that drunk. The only option is to never drink again but that just isn't going to happen so there is no point even trying!
Any ideas welcome........

Men!!
Ok so there is no going back with Toyboy, that I have accepted! Even if he was gorgeous!! Moving on..........
What is it with service men and keeping you waiting!! There is a bloke, an RAF blokey who has been winding me up pretty much all year! (Well since whenever I started the blog) the blog started up our first conversation cos he liked it :-)
I met him a few years ago in a previous job, never spoke to him loads but since chatting on the wonder that is facebook about the blog and various other topics we have spoken quite regularly. Anyway yapping on facebook and msn we soon exchanged numbers so this meant texting too. Now texting and I are not a good mix when drinking and having his number led to some random drunken text nights (thankfully I haven't drunk text him anything bad, well not that he has reminded me of anyway)!!
Now this previous weekend I got quite ridiculously intoxicated and was talking to him on facebook moaning about men and him still keeping me waiting!! I've told him many times he will miss the boat in a minute as I am very successful with the love life, however all this seems to fall on deaf ears! Until now........ he actually said (and I don't remember exactly thanks to the many bottles of wine consumed) but it was something along the lines of 'why don't we go out in October, when i'm home'!! RESULT.. I then promptly passed out on the sofa and left him hanging about whether I wanted to or not! Well done me...treat 'em' mean and all that!
I think he could just be winding me up cos he wants to be in the blog, or perhaps he too was intoxicated! I don't know, I guess we will see in October!! Lol this could just be yet another wild goose chase he is about to send me on..........

I met him a few years ago in a previous job, never spoke to him loads but since chatting on the wonder that is facebook about the blog and various other topics we have spoken quite regularly. Anyway yapping on facebook and msn we soon exchanged numbers so this meant texting too. Now texting and I are not a good mix when drinking and having his number led to some random drunken text nights (thankfully I haven't drunk text him anything bad, well not that he has reminded me of anyway)!!
Now this previous weekend I got quite ridiculously intoxicated and was talking to him on facebook moaning about men and him still keeping me waiting!! I've told him many times he will miss the boat in a minute as I am very successful with the love life, however all this seems to fall on deaf ears! Until now........ he actually said (and I don't remember exactly thanks to the many bottles of wine consumed) but it was something along the lines of 'why don't we go out in October, when i'm home'!! RESULT.. I then promptly passed out on the sofa and left him hanging about whether I wanted to or not! Well done me...treat 'em' mean and all that!

Getting on with it
Ok seriously for something that wasn't even 3 weeks old will someone tell my why I'm so upset?!?! I can't get him out of my head, from the minute I wake up I'm thinking about him, I even dreamt about him last night!!!
It's doing my head in, why has he had this effect on me?! I am quite a tough hardened cookie since my ex tore my heart into millions of tiny pieces so why on earth has this toyboy who I have known for 5 minutes consumed my whole thoughts over the last few days????
If someone could give me a secret key to turn back time or a reason to make him change his mind I would take it in a heartbeat?!?!? Sod being proffessional, stuff being too familiar, I would glady tell my company to poke their job if I thought it would change his mind, that's actually what this man has done to me!! Which is verging on completely ridiculous as I have known my milkman longer than I have known him!!!!!!
Im not looking for anyone else at all, I can't even stand the thought of kissing someone else as it means he won't be the last person I have kissed!!! I don't want to think of being with anyone else but him and I hate it!! I need to go find me a random and get on with it I think as this is just silly!! But I can't bring myself to consider another man, when all I can think of is him :-(
I may well become a nun..................................... or at least control myself until im over him anyway

I'm back!
Well that didn't last long did it! To say i'm pleased to be back writing the blog would be lying. It's not that I don't enjoy dishing the dirt on my disastrous love life but this one I actually thought might be something a bit more than the rest have been. Well I suppose to an extent he was, I saw him more than once!!
The first bloke since my ex I can actually see myself having a relationship with and that I get on with ends it on a spur of the moment as work and pleasure have become mixed and 'everything is just getting a bit too familiar'!!
Seriously what is it with me and men!! I give up completely now, I cannot for one more minute take the hurt, the upset, the heartache and the confusion that they cause me! My ex has made my life a complete misery this year, with each revelation he delivers to me more devastating than the last! The idiots I have attempted to meet on dates either don't turn up or come complete with 'crew'! The friends that pretend to want more turn out to be nothing more than a one night stand and not friends at all!
I'm 27! Im too old for games, you either like me or you don't, you either want a relationship or you don't! It's not hard to know, all this rubbish about 'let's see what happens' doesn't bloody wash with me! If your willing to date someone then surely to god you must see it leading to more? I'm not looking to date loads of frogs, I want to meet my prince!
Message to men that read this - FOR GOD SAKE JUST BE HONEST!! I don't get why men can't just tell women what the hell is going on in their minds when they first think it. Why do they let it boil into this irrepairable mess in which nothing will change their minds?
Anyway thats my update for you all today! I'm off to go cry into my pillow and wish I had never got out of bed this morning!!!

Time to say goodbye
Firstly let me apologise for being totally rubbish and leaving you all on the edge of your seats wondering how the date went!
The first date went well, as did the second, third and fourth!!! Fifth tomorrow evening, how blimin exciting! This is by far the most successful I've been all year!
For this very reason I have to end the blog for now, he doesn't know about it and I don't want to make public every detail of what will hopefully be a nice relationship.
I am currently trying to think of a new topic to write about as I have really enjoyed doing this and hearing from you with your thoughts about what a complete disaster my love life has been.
If you have any ideas about what topic I could use please let me know
Thank you for reading

I think I've got it!!!!!!!!!
After having just spent the last 61 minutes and 45 seconds on the phone to my lovely friend Mrs T we have come up with the most fabulous first date night!!!!
I'm going to suggest meeting up around 4ish and then going to get the scary little Cremyll ferry, (that could sink at any moment) over to Mount Edgecumbe. Fingers crossed it's nice weather as I really don't enjoy it over there when it's raining!
We can get over there, have a nice drink at the lovely pub and then take a walk around and enjoy the scenery, go back to the pub, perhaps have something to eat, enjoy each other's company and then get the ferry back over to Plymouth.
Then moving on to the hoe and barbican to enjoy a few more drinks, Mrs T did suggest watching the dogging going on at Devil's point but I don't fancy chancing that he thinks it's something i'm into!!!
What do you think? Good idea/Bad idea??? He will get to see some nice places which he probably hasn't been yet and all the while gets to enjoy my wonderful yet mental company.
I do hope this post does not result in me having lots of company on this date! No need to be a stalker and follow me, for news on how it went keep checking the blog next week...........

OOOOOOOOO Date Night
Ok date night with my toyboy is on Sunday!!!
Now was this a good idea to arrange it for the day after I have walked 13 miles? I don't know but as I am going away next week I didn't want to leave it until I got back! I mean, what if he met someone else while I was away? Like OMG that would just be awful!!
So, so far, I know what I am wearing, I know the day it's happening, I know I will barely be able to walk (although he has offered to push me round in a wheelchair)!!! What I don't know is what time, or what to do!!! He isn't from Plymouth so how good this date is will totally depend on me!!! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
I don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to dates (you've read the blog, I don't need to go into more detail to prove this) so I need your help!! What would a young, newcomer to Plymouth want to do? I've had some suggestions but I need more. I need options I can use come rain or shine! Day or night!
I'm not overly worried about eating in front of him anymore, he brought the whole office in breakfast rolls today and I thought I would look uber cool if I just stuffed mine down like 'one of the lads', I didn't get egg or ketchup on my top but I didn't eat it gracefully either, chomp, chomp! Come to think of it, I haven't heard from him since?
So if by some miracle after this picture of beauty he saw this morning, the date is still on I need to make it good. I await your ideas.......................

Lurveeeeeeeeeee Update
Ok, I've had a few complaints about my last post. Apparently it was just an advertisment for my impending doom (which by the way is this Saturday and it's not too late to sponsor me)so I thought I would give you a small update on the dating life.
There hasn't been much going on in the love front that I can write about, there have been some meetings with various people but for some reason I can't bring myself to want to be with someone properly! Perhaps I am enjoying my new found freedom, perhaps I don't want to get hurt again, perhaps i'm just not meeting the right people? I don't know, but whatever it is, it makes for a very boring blog!
Well maybe all that is about to change!!!! Today, the hot blokes at work have somehow managed to set me up to go for a drink with quite a hot guy, all be it, quite alot younger than me!!!!!!! Now what is it with me and younger men? I really don't know, but while I can still pull them, I am not turning them down!!!
The lovely lady I work with (who is not the receptionist DH) made it seem slightly wrong when she worked out the age difference between this bloke and I would make him 13 if she was in my shoes!! I can assure you all, he is not 13 and completely legal! Not even a teenager!!! Looks alot older than he is and very, very fit!!
Now this is the first bloke who
A) I've not known previously through school, previous employment etc
B) Blind date through dating site,
I've met him once before when he came into work and I made him tea, (check me out, tea girl) so he has seen me not dressed up etc and he was still up a drink, i'm impressed!!
I've worked out what to wear thanks to the wonderful DH (if your reading this 'alright love'), that man is my love guru, if I want any advice he is who I turn to. Hot Guy is not from Plymouth and needs to be shown around, I hope i'm not just a tour guide? Where should we go people, ideas please?
How blimin exciting, bring on the Toyboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im getting some exercise
For anyone who reads this that knows me, the title of this post may shock you! However it's true, I am going to get some exercise and attempt to raise money for a good cause at the same time.
I have been persuaded by my friends to join them on The Midnight Walk raising money for St Lukes Hospice on Saturday 31st July 2010.
Now if the name didn't give it away this walk doesn't start until Midnight so instead of spending my usual Saturday night in a pub I will be spending it walking 13miles, yes 13 miles!!! Crossing my fingers it doesn't rain and all this dressed as a lady bug too and I get to pay £12 for the priviledge!!!! Now I can barely walk to the end of my street without getting worn out so not sure how I will do but i'm going to give it a go, please pray for me. Believe it or not I am actually looking forward to it, spending a good few hours gossiping with the girls and burning a few calories off as well as blistering my feet :-)
So I'm using my blog to advise you of this event and to ask you very kindly if you would be willing to sponsor me. There is no target to reach on my donations page just whatever you can afford is greatly appreciated and goes towards a wonderful cause. I have posted the web address below for my donations page

Where have I been....
Well so much for my last post, promising I wasn't going to leave the blog just because I have decided to leave the world of dating! It's been over a month since I decided to let you all into my crazy single world, but what a month it has been!
Firstly, complete madness, my ex is having a baby! I spent nearly 6 years (on and off) with this dude and struggled to get him to hold my hand in public let alone commit! This new bird spends roughly 6 minutes with him and now they are playing happy families! Oh well, as they say 'that's life'!! I say 'I hope she bleeds you dry'!!!!
So after that little shocker, I had to face my birthday! Now most people get a little excited over that wonderful event in their calendar every year. Not me, I have actually really struggled with the idea of getting older this year. I am officially un-cool, according to my 7 year old, in fact he says i'm practically 100 im so old!!!! Yeah cheers mate!!!!! I can see the crow's feet under my eyes getting bigger and im seriously considering a bit of botox!
I have to say though my friends did a fantastic job of making my birthday absolutly wonderful! We had a lovely pampering afternoon and then a meal out in the evening. I have never drunk so much in my life and I could definately give those teenagers a run for their money in the drinking stakes that night! My old bones even allowed me to boogie like a maniac and I went to sleep when it was daylight, get on wahooooooo. Although the hangover that followed the next day did remind me I should have acted my age and just had a small sherry! We live and learn!!!!!! I was delighted to discover that in my drunken state I still managed to capture the happy memories with over 100 photo's! I am seriously camera crazy when I've had a few, much to the horror of my friends and the photo's I managed to snap of them with no make up on!
That's it from me for the moment, a few other interesting things have happened but these are currently top secret and under no circumstances can I reveal anymore. Well not yet anyway..........

Given up but still here
I must apologise for the lack of posts recently, I have am now rather convinced that I will become the next Bridget Jones, actually no I can't even resign myself to that as Miss Jones the spinster got with Mr whatshisface didn't she! But do you know what...... i'm not actually bovverreddd!!! Yeah, but, no, but, yeah it's true!
In fact since I stopped lusting after everything male with a pulse that I came into contact with I have had more luck! No dates but more attention, more offers I just haven't taken any of them up.
I get my fill of male conversation at work and thats enough for me right now, if I feel like a flirt there is the hot Mr G who can satisfy this need and if I need a serious chat or a bit of banter there is the wonderful Mr Danboy H. If you want advice forget the problem pages of your favourite magazine - this guy can answer anything!!!! I've never known a bloke like it but I know if I want an honest opinion on something he is the bloke to ask! Oh I forgot to say, added advantage of having a conversation with this bloke is he too is extremely hot!
You may be thinking 'so what happens now?' 'what on earth am I going to do without this comical, well written, superbly entertaining blog' - fret no more. I will keep writing, and it will more than likely take the form of just my life, which i'm sure some might agree is quite entertaining and I have many of those 'it could only happen to me situations'
So right now i'm happy, but who knows, Mr Right may come and find me now I'm not looking but if he doesn't......... so what!

Friends with Benefits! Yes or No?????
I may not be able to find a permanent man but I certainly get lots of offers from 'friends' who are more than willing to provide a service should I need it!
So is it a good thing or not to have this? Is it not a well known fact that woman are not able to have 'no strings attached fun' without getting emotionally involved and turning into some sort of bunny boiling, don't touch him girls he's mine stalker???
I think that a girl might be able to just have a friend with benefits as long as there is no real attraction there. For example, if I tried this with someone who I completely adored and practised writing my signature using their surname it's likely I would be devastated when he didn't realise I was his one true love, so I think that would be best avoided. But if I took the man's attitude of 'it's just a quick one' and didn't really fancy the bloke then surely I can satisfy a need and it's ok to do this???
Men do this and people pat him on the back and say well done, women do this and people say 'you slaaaaaaaag'.
I think it's completely wrong that women get treated in this way so guess what girls - I'm going to get me a friend!!!! I'm not going to be greedy, one friend will do, so you get all the fun but without all the hassle.
So the lucky fella is........Mr long time ago crush, yet still very hot man !!! Ok I know the name needs work but it's really difficult trying to think of a mysteriously cool name for each man I write about on here!!!
The man in question is a previous work colleague who I don't think has smiled once in the 8 years since I met him. I used to have quite a crush on him, he's very hot but was never interested, however he has now realised the error of his ways and is more than willing to please (on a purely fun basis of course).
Perhaps now I won't be looking, Mr Right will come and find me. So forget looking for love ladies and let the games begin............

Apologies
Apologies for the lack of blog posts recently but I made the decision to stop looking like some stark raving lunatic 'bridget jones' spinster and wait for Mr Right to find me.
In my previous post I mentioned that something else might be on the horizon which I was quite hopeful about but it turned out to be yet another total let down! I returned to my comfort zone of the younger man and he turned out to be a bit of dick! Although he was quite a bit younger than me so perhaps maturity has not yet hit him.
This was the reason I decided to leave the dating scene alone and see what happened.
I've had a few emails on the website which I have looked at but nobody who would float my boat, honestly sometimes I look at these profiles and wonder why on earth they think I would be remotely interested in replying to someone who has written that they want a little bit of naughty fun!
I am however still keen on the speed dating idea and will be attending one on the 15th May which I am very excited about.
On a very different note, some of you may be aware that there is a promotion running with Cadbury Flake to win Benefit lipsticks, I would like to mention that I have bought 2 of these promotional flakes and rather excitingly won 2 lipsticks!!!! Much to the frustration of my fellow blogger 'The Un-working Girl'! I will be wearing one of the colours to the speed dating in the hope they bring me luck :-)

This was the reason I decided to leave the dating scene alone and see what happened.
I've had a few emails on the website which I have looked at but nobody who would float my boat, honestly sometimes I look at these profiles and wonder why on earth they think I would be remotely interested in replying to someone who has written that they want a little bit of naughty fun!
I am however still keen on the speed dating idea and will be attending one on the 15th May which I am very excited about.
On a very different note, some of you may be aware that there is a promotion running with Cadbury Flake to win Benefit lipsticks, I would like to mention that I have bought 2 of these promotional flakes and rather excitingly won 2 lipsticks!!!! Much to the frustration of my fellow blogger 'The Un-working Girl'! I will be wearing one of the colours to the speed dating in the hope they bring me luck :-)

The Webcam
Where do I begin!!!
This happened just over a week ago but I wasn't sure whether to put this on the blog or not as I still can't quite believe it happened myself.
I don't give my personal msn address out to just anyone and believe me on the dating site practically everyone asks for it straight away!! But I had been chatting to someone on there for a while and thought it was ok to give it to him!! WRONG!
We start a conversation and then all of a sudden an invitation to talk on webcam comes up. I don't have a webcam but you can still see the other person without it, stupidly I accept. Instead of seeing a pretty face before me I get........
A gigantic mans genitals staring me in the face!!!!! Yes ladies you did read that correctly, this huge penis was just there in front of me. I could not believe it, but to top it off a hand then appears and well I don't think you need me to explain what happened next. I switched off before I could be disgusted anymore, blocked, deleted. Utterly disgusted and afraid to chat to anyone again!!!
I mean seriously why would someone do that!! I actually felt like I had done something wrong just by seeing it. Why would a man who had never met you before think that is a nice thing to do!! He couldn't even see me so god only knows what he was excited about. Rude, rude man.
I think the dating site is being well and truly left alone now!! Stood up and now perverts.
Besides something else might be on the horizon but I'm not writing about that one just yet........

Fanny Vs Spankey
Well I haven't had any dates nor have I attempted speed dating yet but I thought an update was due.
I haven't mentioned this yet but my alter ego is Spankey McFarlene and I do now have a partner in crime! In the form of Fannny Craddock!!!!
She's not actively seeking a man (like me) but they can't seem to help fall over themselves for her! Seriously she can go out baby sick all over her, hair unwashed and still manage to have a gorgeous hunk falling at her feet!!!
Well of all the lucky blimin things that can happen to her (when she's not looking obviously) - baby's in bed, glass of wine in hand and pj's on, but the fire alarm in her building goes off! She grabs the baby and her house keys, sticking to the rules of not grabbing anything else (on a lighter note I would have grabbed more, like GHD's, make up, and decent outfit) waited outside and along come fit fireman!! I mean come on girls, fire = hot fireman and she didn't think to even slap on a bit of lipgloss! HAVE A WORD!!!!
Once they have checked out the situation and cleared it for re-entry she is allowed to enter the building!! Off she goes to bed!!
Can I add, she doesn't ask for a phone number, a name, a badge number - NOTHING!!!!
Clearly Fanny has learnt nothing from Spankey!!!!

Bodybag?!?!?!?
In a previous post I mentioned I had received a message from someone with the username bodybag... Not the most attractive choice of names but still looked quite nice in his picture so I replied.
We chatted and I ended up going to watch him play rugby on Saturday, why on earth I thought this was a good idea I will never know!!
So there I am with my lovely ugg boots on sludging through the muddy rugby field. I was not impressed, especially as I nearly fell over twice!!!!!!
I watched for a bit and realised his team were completely rubbish!!! By half time they hadn't scored once and I left before I froze in the position I was stood in.
I did let him know I was going and we continued to chat for most of the evening.
Ok so it's going fairly well and as it's bank holiday and we are both going out we agree to meet for a drink!! Not an all night drink as were both out with friends, just a quick hello etc...
Well I turn up with my mate and he is sooooooooooooooooooooo unbelievably drunk!! I mean shouting ugg type noises with his rugby mates at the top of his voice sort of drunk. His mate also took it upon himself to abuse another woman in the beer garden, 'you slagggggg' was one of the nicer comments he used!! Brilliant, I'm on to another one here with a 'crew'!!!!
Anyway we both move onto different pubs and end up meeting again in the final place we go to. We didn't argue, got on ok but left separately (obviously)
I wake up the following morning to 10! yes 10 missed calls from him!!! Blimey was he in trouble? Was he being attacked? No he just wanted to talk apparently!!!! At 3am in the morning!! He is lucky I didn't wake up and answer, I would have been the one doing the blimin talking I can tell you!!!!!!
It would seem that my inability to answer his drunken phone calls has made him decide not to talk to me at all???? I really have no idea what happened but it's all gone to pot and he hasn't txt, called etc.
Was it unreasonable to not answer the phone at 3am??? Should I sleep with the phone right next to my ear, turned up to full volume just incase someone should ring me and confess their love?????
Perhaps it is because I didn't follow the dating advice I was given in work and put out???
I have no idea but another one bites the dust!!!!

Speed Dating
I am seriously considering attempting this, I mean let's face it, things can't get much worse!!
At least I am guaranteed not to be stood up, but do I really want to swap blokes 15 times in one night??!?!?!?!?
I guess its a good idea, I mean if you really can't stand the person at least your only stuck with them for a few minutes.
If it's an actual date and it's not going well you spend ages trying to come up with a good excuse to leave, or praying someone will text or phone you and you can say 'OMG, I have to go, really sorry. I'll call you' and then run as fast as you can away from them, pressing delete contact on your phone as you go.
On the other hand, if speed date number 1 is hot, friendly and your 3 minutes go very well. Why spend another 2 hours of your life you will never get back chatting to 14 other men you really don't want to?
Have any of you ever done this? If so let me know how it went for you.

Date 6
You may have guessed by the lack of post that the date didn't go my way!!
Mr Hot Navy man stood me up for a third time!! When I say stood me up, it wasn't me waiting at the bar like a loser with no idea whether he was going to turn up or not. But it was almost as bad, I was there and then got a phone call from him!! Apparently only just finished work!! Whatever!!
Honestly men are unbelievable!!
Strike 3 mate - no likey, no lighty. I've turned mine off now!!!!
Onto the next one.......

It's like buses
The minute you get one email, you get loads!!
So after bodybag who actually was quite pretty I might add....
I had another, I opened it and it simply said 'hi, your gorgeous' very kind of him to say so but if I had replied I would have wanted to say 'hi, your not!'
Ok, maybe the next one will be better
"hi, nice profile.... stop by mine and say hello x" how about I stay on the bus and miss that stop!!!
I don't think I am even going to look at the site for the next few days. I am way tooooo over excited about Mr Hot Navy man, its still all on and the time, place etc is arranged. Keep your fingers crossed for me..........

You have mail!
wahoo the blog is attracting readers as I found out in work today.
One of the blokes was quite intrigued who the hot men in a previous post were, I laughed it off and was then totally let down by one of the said hot men and he also gave away the name of Mr Arms!! Thanks for that!!
Anyway just for you (you know who you are) I thought I would write a small addition to the blog partially dedicated to the wonderful advice you gave me earlier. This is yet another hot man at work who gave me his wise words of wisdom
"you just have to dangle the carrot a little and not let them eat the whole thing"
Now I think this man seems to know a thing or two about women and i'm inclined to listen to him (even if he is the biggest wind up merchant you will ever meet), but in all seriousness I think he really knows his stuff. Just to add if you read this, dating advice is the only thing I will ever listen to you about NOTHING else!! lol
Moving on, I came home tonight to see an email from the dating site letting me know I have new mail. Hmmmmm i'll take a look, not arranging anything else while I'm meeting Mr Hot Navy man but decide to just see what I have been sent.
I log in, the username of this person was........ bodybag!!! Need I say more!

Mobile Phones should be left at home!
Hang on I was at home!! Ok then they should be turned off whilst still sober and hidden somewhere you will forget when you have reached the drunken point of wanting to confess your love for someone!!
Last night I had some of my lovely ladies round to have a few drinks, put the world to rights and say how much we love/hate the men folk.
Well I discovered the wonder that is Amaretto & coke!! I also discovered this drink enables me to divulge various feelings etc to people that really shouldn't be in the know.
Without going into too much detail I had a rather drunken conversation with a particular somebody and I don't remember a great deal about it but I'm pretty sure I said some things I woke up this morning feeling very foolish about. Now if i'd listened to myself and hid the phone I would have not been able to answer the call. But no, I ignored my own advice and thought I knew best!
I have sent a text this morning apologising for my drunken state - I've heard nothing back.......

Potentially date 6
OMG just when I am starting to think that all men are disasters and there is no hope Mr HOT navy man emails me. Now girls I don't just mean HOT I mean premiership footballer lookalike hot.
I actually cannot believe he has messaged me! This looks like the type of guy I would see on the website, get way to overexcited about and message only to see in my sent items UNREAD - DELETED.
But no, he messaged me! Whoop whoop
Anyway getting on with the story, he's within my age range, in the navy and proper gorgeous. We speak quite a bit and he seems lovely, even told me I was beautiful. I will be sending him to the opticians shortly!
We arrange our 1st date for the following Saturday evening. I get all worked up about it, broadcast it to everyone I know and have a crisis situation about what to wear. This is the Monday before the big day by the way!
Tuesday arrives and he texts me in the evening, OH NO!! He has to go to away with work on the Thursday and won't be back until the following Friday. There was no way I was turning that frown upside down after that I can tell you! G.U.T.T.E.D
Never mind, he is still sending me lovely texts and wants to see me when he gets back.
Fast forward to the following week....
The Saturday morning I hear from him and he wants to see me that night!!!!!!! I can't believe it wahoooooooooooo. Then an hour later I receive another message, he can't make it boooooooooooooooooo
He isn't orignally from here and had to go back home for a family birthday and he has only just remembered. What he neglected to tell me was he was up there for a week!!
So here we are nearing the end of that week, another date has been arranged for Wedneday next week so I will keep you posted. 3rd time lucky we might actually get to meet this time!!!!

Date 5 - Mr Forgetful
Right I decide I need to lower my standards a bit, maybe extend the age range slightly. I've received a message from a 35 year old, quite good looking and seems really nice so I agree to a date with him.
I'm not overly excited about it, which is wrong I know but I'm just not sure about how much I will have in common with someone 9 years older than me! But I want to give him the chance, as I have said before I haven't been out with anyone older so I may like what I find.
Anyway it was date day and i'm meant to be meeting him at 7pm, I hadn't heard from him for a few days and I'm wondering if the date is still on. After speaking to one of my date specialists in work he says text him now (3pm) so I do.
I ask "are we still on for tonight", about 5 minutes later this is the reply
"Ummmm, yes & no.
I have football tonight until 830pm
So I can meet you after or at 530pm?"
Sorry but who on earth goes on a date at 530pm??
My reply was short and to the point explaining I can do neither due to 530 being too early and I have to leave at 930 to be back for the babysitter!
No reply from him!!!!!
Later that evening at exactly what should have been date time I receive a message from him explaining that he does want to meet me.
Not that i'm a sarcastic little madamme but I couldn't resist mentioning in my reply that I thought he was meant to be at football not on the computer!!
Anyway turns out he had FORGOTTEN!!!! all about out little rendeavour, how charming. So if I hadn't text him I would have been stood up for the second time!! Amazing
Needless to say I haven't got back to him about a next time

So far
1st dates - Total including being stood up, deleted & drunken night out 5
2nd Dates - Still 0!!!!
2nd Dates - Still 0!!!!
Date 4 or not as the case maybe
In my confusion I actually forgot about this guy, he was actually supposed to be date 2. Before I even tell you the story you can guess it went well.
Ok, so dating site, I receive a message from a guy with no picture. Hmmmm never sure that's a good start, what are they hiding?
I carry on the conversation with him anyway, he's seem nice, he's a fireman (get that uniform on wahooo) so I ask him for a pic. He sends me one, hmmm not bad at all.
Date is arranged for the following Friday, leading up to date night he's texting me every day. I always try to wait for the guy to text me first, is that the right thing to do?
Anyway I'm moving away from the story, we become friends on a well known social networking site, yay more pictures. He is actually alot hotter than I thought, wahoo.
On the wednesday before I got a txt
"Really sorry, I know you have got a sitter but I've just had a call and have to work overtime, can't make Friday"
So I reply with 'no worries' however wanting to give him the opportunity to back out completly I ask if it thats the truth or if he had just changed his mind.
He said he hasn't and he really does have to work, brilliant so the date is arranged for the week after next
Then the texts stop, no reply to mine? Hmmmm what's that about, so I look on the social networking site to find he has actually deleted me!
So what happened there then?? I have no idea!!! So forget not making it to any 2nd dates this one didn't even get to the 1st!!!

Dating Advice
Well 2 of the hottest guys in work , one of whom has particularly amazing arms (I have a thing about arms which I'm sure I will go into at a later date) gave me the first set of advice.
Now I really thought I knew a thing or two about dating but evidently not. Men according to these 2 don't care about much else other than a bit of naughtiness.
Firstly the goodnight kiss, if he doesn't offer then I should say 'so do I get a goodnight kiss?' Now correct me if i'm wrong but am I not opening myself up to rejection by doing this? What if he says no, how embarrassing would that be!
Me - So then, how about a goodnight kiss?
Him - No chance love, on your bike!
Not sure about that one
Secondly if I 'put out' on the first date I'm guaranteed to see him again!
Now I thought that if I did the deed straight away men would lose all respect for me? So your comments please, is this the case or not?
I believe one of the descriptions from mr arms was "yep, do it straight away, with me no messing just out and out carnage"!!!
Personally that statement actually scares me a little, not sure carnage was on the agenda when I started thinking about moving on.
The following day some more advice from 2 other men in work, one of whom is my boss, total opposite, according to them I should defintely not even consider that on the first date. Also when deciding what to wear, black should be avoided as it's the colour you wear to a funeral!
More confusion.
So now I'm left with a total dilemma, who's right? Who's wrong? I'm hoping I will get some advice from you guys before the next date otherwise I could be in a tricky situation attempting to decide on my own.

Mr Army continued
Ok so Mr Army man is on r&r for 2 weeks, I speak to him a couple of days after that night.
Me - Hey, what a great night saturday, do you fancy meeting up before you go back
Army Man (took hours to reply) - Yeah it was a laugh, not sure what I'm up to yet but if I get some free time i'll let you know.
Not quite the answer I was looking for, as it turned out he went back never to be seen again... letdown
I'm sure my kissing wasn't that bad, my breath didn't smell and he had a 2nd kiss so what was it? Don't think i'm ever likely to find out either, needless to say I was very disappointed over this one, very hot, very nice guy. Ok, not nice enough to see me again but still a nice guy.
Hmmm I think im going to give up on men soon, I just don't understand them. How cool does a girl have to play it? How much or how little do they want?
I ask the men in work what a girl should do on the first date.......

Saturday night
Ok, so i'm dolled up to the nines and out with some girlfriends. We are in a well known pub in town and I see HIM!! OMG what do I do, do I go and say hello? Do I walk around nearby in the hope he will see me, come running over and kiss me passionately?
No I decide to go and dance like a raving lunatic by myself! My friends don't do dancing and so I took it upon myself to show them how fun it was to dance by yourself, showing off my rather glamourous drunken moves! Ha
After working up a rather attractive sweat on the dancefloor and drinking several vodka's I go to the bar for another. Then... there he is, right beside me at the bar. Ahhh what do I say? As it turned out the conversation consisted of "hey, how are you?" then he promtly kissed me. Result! Fireworks, earth moving all that stuff, then my mate comes over to tell me she's off!
Mr Army man - disappears
I continue my night ending up in a nightclub dancing with my best mates brother, so drunk were we that the baywatch song up on the stage seemed like a good idea at the time...
Just as Im about to go home Army man is right there beside me again, yay kiss number 2!

School days
Im rather excited everytime I log in to find another new message from him, he's in the forces and away at the moment but that doesn't stop me getting maybe a little too overexcited.
He tells me he is home in a couple of weeks, seeing my opportunity I ask him if he wants to meet for a catch up as it has been several years since we last spoke.
He agrees, roll on 2 weeks time! I give him my number for when he's back so he can let me know.
I spend the next 2 weeks with a smile on my face, then he comes home

Can't take no for an answer
You would think that the ending to date 3 would have been a clue as to whether there would be a 2nd date wouldn't you?!
Well apparently not, for the following messages we will call him Mr X
Mr X - When can I see you again
Me - I'm really not looking for anything more, just going to enjoy the single life I think (that's a nice letdown isn't it?)
Mr X - ok
Later on that day
Mr X - So can I take you out for a meal
Me - Sorry, as I said earlier Im not really looking for more
Mr X - ok
The following day
Mr X - Hi, can I take you to watch a film next week
Me - No!
How many more times?! In the end I had several more offers like this and I had to be rather blunt with him.
I thought it was women who were meant to turn slightly stalkerish and not take no for an answer. But then I guess Mr X wasn't your average bloke, I have to say I was slightly scared of rejecting him incase I was linched by 'the crew' but I had to take my chance.
In the meantime I receive a message on my account from an old school friend, who may I say is extremely hot! My luck's in wahooooo........

Date 3
Well didn't I feel like a prize pillock stood at the bar of an almost empty pub with only the 90 year old regulars using the bar to prop themselves up to keep me company.
After this last nightmare of being stood up, I wasn't so sure about carrying on with this dating malarky but I don't want to end up a spinster so after a few days I logged onto my account on the dating site. Excellent I have some messages, after speaking to someone on a few occasions I agree to a date.
We meet up, have a few drinks and quite a laugh actually. Ok, he's not really my type but still it's a fun evening. He suggests moving on, we do. I was quite drunk at this point and think that can be the only thing that got me through the rest of the evening.
We went to some back street pub and walking into it felt like walking into the film 'football factory'. Once inside I am introduced to how he affectionately referred to them as 'his crew', thinking I had misheard I said ' I'm sorry'. Once again he repeated it, OMG he's serious!! The crew even came complete with a little minature Noel Gallagher wannabe, who even spat on the floor for me! Make no mistake 'if the crew diss me, he'd chin em'! My hero!!
He asks what I want to drink "double vodka, quickly please"!
A little later, mini Noel even kicks off so much he gets chucked out, I think my date was even going to put on the little show of chinning him for me until he could see I was totally unimpressed. 'I'm off to the loo' I say, observently he says "your not coming back are you" "NOPE" and with that Im away.

Date 1!!
Ok so first big decision is what to wear.... after spending the previous Friday at my friends trying on all her clothes I finally decide on an outfit wahoooo. Then change it on the night!
I'm meeting him there and turn up fashionably late - well 3 minutes, that's ok isn't it??
As he comes towards me, he's not as hot as I thought he was!! OMG what am I going to do??? Don't get me wrong, looks are definately not everything, however there needs to be some sort of physical attraction doesn't there. There definately wasn't!
So anyway I can't be rude and we go inside to eat, I can't look him in the eye!! What do we talk about?? Phew we've ordered, ok lets fill some gaps while we are waiting for the food. ummmmmmmm, ahhhhhhh, hmmmmm oh dear, not going well. Yay the food's here.
Brilliant, now he starts a conversation. I have a mouthful of food and he wants to yap!! So in between avoiding dribbing sauce down my chin and not spraying him with a mouthful of food I politely answer his questions. How long have you been single? How olds your child?? What do you do for a job? etc, etc... Oh look, foods gone, conversation stops!!!
Rather uncomfortably the bill comes - DATE OVER!!
I come home and receive a text, without revealing too much he thought it had gone extremely well and wanted to know when he could move in! Number deleted!

Welcome
Hello and welcome to my blog. The blog will detail each date I arrange, have and how they go. So far I haven't got past the first date with anyone!!!! Now you will see there have been a few dates over the next few posts, this blog has only just popped into my head so am updating you all on my dating disasters so far.
I had no idea the dating scene was so hard, at the tender age of 26 I thought I was still in my prime but it would appear not. Normally I like to go for younger men, however I want all reminders of my ex to disappear so thought I would go for a total change and try, for once in my life 'the older man'! Now when I say older I mean my age or perhaps up to 30 so im not pushing myself too far out of my comfort zone. However it would appear that it's not that easy.
When I first split up with my ex, somebody I worked with at the time could not understand why I was so upset but then came out with the classic line "well I suppose it must be hard, at your age there isn't many single men around anymore is there"!!! Charming!! Needless to say I no longer work for this company, but it would seem she was actually right!
I left this company knowing that my new job had only 2 other women in it and the rest were all men. 'ideal' i thought, there's bound to be a hot man waiting for me. WRONG!!! Don't get me wrong there are lots of hot men there's just not one single one!! Not one of the men I work with is detached!! Can you believe it!
So my next step.. a dating site...........
