Well since the English version of mini me gave me the evening of my life (or not) I haven't been on any dates. I seem to have given up the search for my special someone, a friend said she thinks her someone somewhere has been hit by a bus and that's why she didn't find him. Personally I think mine got on the wrong bus and is somewhere settling for second best!
Sadly my partner in crime also lost Mr Perfect, once again all was not what it seemed and she's back on the meat market too.
Both successful woman and both unlucky in love!
Even the dating site messages have dried up, I think i've either ignored or dated everyone on it now and I'm still no closer to finding 'him'
Anyone that has shown an interest seems to blow hot and cold and I don't know whether its friendship or if it will ever be anything more.
I'm now almost halfway through my second year of being single and I'm bored! I'm bored of being single and I'm bored of looking too! Lots of weddings and lots of babies are around me this year. Well I have neither but what I do have is a very tasty bottle of disarrano, I'm off to let that keep me company!

An update actually about me!
I thought it was about time I wrote an update on my actual dating life considering this blog was started all about my experience of the dating world it's been quite a long time since I actually wrote anything about myself!
This date was actually quite a few weeks ago but I think it's too good not to write about. I'd met the guy on the wonderfully weird dating site, he looked really cute, seemed really nice and we appeared to have loads in common. We arranged to meet and I was really excited...........
It started badly as I was 20 minutes late! The dam taxi didn't turn up for ages, what an awful first impression to make!
Anyway I arrive and I'm looking around and can't see him, what I should have done is look down and I would have seen that I was faced with quite possibly the shortest man in the world! Mini me eat your heart out!
He looked nothing like his picture and I was very quickly realising I shouldn't have bothered going to the effort of looking nice!
We go into the pub and sit down (well we had to as we looked really odd together) we start chatting and not only was he the shortest but it's possible he was also the quietest man in the world! Me having downed a couple of drinks beforehand and on another glass of wine decide that I didn't really care what I said and told him he was actually the quietest man ever! He responded by saying he was afraid to speak, god this was going well. In order to salvage something of the evening I decided the only thing to do was to get drunk, and by god did I get drunk! To the point I was slurring my words and struggling to put one foot in front of the other by the end of the evening!!!!
So I go home and think I have escaped the conversation 'it's not you, it's me' (it was him but i'm not that mean) only to receive a text message which went a little something like this "Oh my god, I had an AMAZING night, I knew you were different right from the moment I saw you. I really like you and hope you like me. Please can I see you again"
Were we on the same date?????
The following day I received another text "I really missed you today" WTF! I'd only been in his life for 3 hours which I can barely remember and he missed me!
I was quite quickly realising I might actually have met my very own new stalker but no matter what I said he just wasn't getting the hint. All week long he sent txt after txt (including the classic drunk text) this was the one that finally sent me over the edge, 00:34 in the morning on a week night! I was not impressed at all with this one, and after this he certainly understood in no uncertain terms that it wasn't going to happen! He took it surprisingly well, as according to a certain social networking site status update that same afternoon he'd been out on a walk with a certain someone!
Short, Quiet and a Womaniser, I missed out on a proper catch with that one

The partner in crime over and out...... For now!
Well the wonderful lady who has been supplying me with her own fantastic dating experiences will be bowing out of the limelight for what will hopefully be for quite some time. She's met a man............................................
Her first date with what seems to be the perfect guy lasted 8, yes 8 hours!!!!!!!
The location...... IKEA in Bristol!!! What a romantic setting, but I tell you what, after this I think I might take myself up there and hang around the entrance seeing what hot single totty wonders on through.
They have now had 3 dates and this guy just seems to be getting better and better, below a quote from our lovely ex dating companion.
"He makes my heart skip a beat and gives me massive exciting butterflys when I see him but you know me I don't show him any of this (good girl, play it cool)! I have been completly surprised by him and I think for the mean time I have had my faith restored in mankind just maybe there is the odd good guy but we will see"
I'm soooooooooooo pleased for the lovely lady and really hope this one's for keeps for her.
I have enquired whether there any single exact copies of this amazing, too good to be true man alas I think he's a one off!

Another prime example!
My partner in crime has provided me with another prime example of just what we are working with! This is not her own experience but that of a friends, the blog material is coming in from all over the world now so keep them coming (ok maybe not the world but it sounds good doesn't it)
The friend had been single for a while and wasn't really interested in men but she decided to put herself on a dating website...she got chatting to this guy that she liked and they swapped numbers etc and orgainsed a date as you do.
For the date they spent the day together, he picked her up in the morning and they went to he zoo, had lunch and went on to play crazy golf..They had a fab day and she didnt get home until about 9pm, brave girl - an all day date!
They carried on talking and texting all week and she was meant to go down to Cornwall to stay with him for the weekend, everything appeared to be going very well, flowing as it should do then on the Friday she got a text (a classic get out, no call or face to face but a god dam text) saying " hi ya I really need to tell you something, I am gunna have to cancel the weekend, I am not one to date 2 people at the same time and I have had to make a choice and its not you" The cheating so and so couldn't even be bothered to give her the time of day to spell the words properly!!!!
This just re-inforces every single doubt I have about the male species and meeting someone new. It actually frightens me that people are so different to my ex! Everything I knew and felt comfortable with gone, and in it's place a feeling of uncertainty and lack of trust. Wonderful!

Set the Standard
I'm still enraged about the short aussie man but thought I would update the blog with a rather comical moment from my female partner in crime. On the well known free dating website she received the message below.
"Hey this is random but there is a logical reason I ask.
If you long term boyfriend told you his ultimate fantasy would be for you to wank another guy off with your feet, would you do it with a guy u knew had a thing for your feet if you knew your boyfriend really wanted you too?
You are gorgeous by the way"
This ladies and gents is the standard we are working with! His very first opening message to a complete stranger was the above!!! Dear god i've lost all hope, did he think by adding 'your gorgeous' on the end he would redeem himself from the weirdness he had written above!!
Oh and on another note, also from the same website I received a message just this evening
"My 9 inches is getting harder by the second, want to be here and play with me?"
Need I say more!!!!!!!

It's all about me!
Why are men so small minded and shallow!!!!
I was meeting this guy for a few weeks, he seemed really keen, always asking for another date and to be honest I wasn't particularly fussed. He was a bit short, australian and kept saying 'crikey' and 'strewth' way to much but I thought I'd give him a chance as I keep finding faults in men and just needed to see how it went. Anyway after seeing him last night and him lining up not 1 but 2 further dates with me I then receive a text today saying he wasn't sure about seeing me again! Nice way to do it by the way, over text, nice and easy, the cowards way out - lovely!
Anyway when I asked why, the answer I received went along the lines of ' I don't mean this horribly, just being realistic. You have a kid! I don't want to take that on and need some time to think!'
Sorry ya flamin galah but you knew I had one before you even met me! Plus if you don't want to take that on what do you need to think about????? Tell you what decision taken away from you - SEE YA!!!!!!!!
I should have realised a single man, never married or anything at the age of 34 was single for a reason! Forget the shrimps, throw him on the flamin barbie!
I understand having a child is different from the old 'boy meets girl, boy kisses girl, boy and girl get married, boy and girl have babies' but we are in a modern day and age where it's not unusual to have a baby or a divorce under you belt by the time your 21!
I agree the Vicky Pollard stereotypical single mum does still exist but in a small minority of the single mum population. I am very proud of the fact I went back to work when my son was 4 weeks old and have worked full time ever since! I have a good job, have worked my way up and have my own money and my own place. I don't rely on handouts from anybody, I never have and I never will! I didn't enter this dating world to find a meal ticket or someone who will play dad to my son, I provide everything my son needs and wants and don't need a man to do this for me.
I entered the dating world for me and me only, I want someone to love me. This is the only selfish thing I ask, just to have somebody for me but no apparently that can't happen. If I have a child, automatically that means I don't work, I don't own anything of my own and think all men are just a cash machine!!!!!
Well wake up men and realise we are not living in a sexist world anymore where only man can earn money and women must stay home all day long! Not all single mums are out to fill their wardrobes or shoe rack on your wages!!!!! It's about time some of you realised that actually us single mums are different to the kappa tracksuit, breeding machine that is Vicky Pollard!!!!!
