A very quick post for today, to update you all on the very exciting news that I am buying my very own place to live. Due to this I am consumed with Interior Decoration ideas rather than dating. I am currently in the midst of a furniture buying haze, having purchased an ottoman (never thought I'd have one of those) and a small kitchen table, I am now progressing through to seating... DFS here I come. The minute I buy a gravy boat or a doiley my life will be officially over. NWIS x Continue reading ...

With Valentine's Day 2011 fast approaching I found myself trawling through my blog posts to see how I was feeling this time last year.. and I have to admit I am slightly disappointed in myself for still being in EXACTLY the same situation.. It was Valentine's Day yesterday.. have to say, as a single person it's not my favourite time of year - but this one went quite well. Granted I had no cards, flowers or romantic gestures - but I did have a relatively nice day with my family. Spend it with ... Continue reading ...

A number of concerning issues regarding my mental health have come to light in the past couple of days... perhaps because I have spent a large proportion of my time sitting doing cross stitch whilst singing along to the Les Miserables sound track, or watching Miss Marple.. or perhaps because I've been spending a lot of time with my sister as it's been her birthday (happy birthday if you're reading this dear sister of mine). The cross stitch is an issue that I'll get onto later.. firstly I thi... Continue reading ...

When it gets to winter time I find all I see is couples... EVERYWHERE.. snogging on street corners, holding hands and being generally in love at Christmas.. To be perfectly honest I have 2 reactions to this... 1. It makes me want to vomit, and 2. I am filled with intense jealousy. So there you have it - I hate it but I want it.. but I think if I had it right now it would drive me nuts and I'd have reaction number 1 at my own behaviour.. So as I don't have a man to snuggle up with in the eveni... Continue reading ...

I should have been out tonight... on a non date. Instead I spent the evening washing my hair and doing laundry.. which to be honest I quite enjoyed, but it has resulted in a small amount of melancholy.. Especially as I have just been listening to Corner by Allie Moss - beautiful song but I just feel a little bit lonely now.. I have no dating or love life gossip, just dull anecdotes about buying christmas presents and writing christmas cards.. It's now just turned 11pm and I am off to sleep, 2 ... Continue reading ...

I've done it! OFFICIALLY... I have completely and utterly.. finally severed ties with X - I hope! In my characteristically blunt and intolerant fashion I text X and said.. (and I quote) 'this thing with me and you - I think it's done now. You agree?' Concise, to the point, hoping for some form of character transformation on his part that would turn him into the man I'm looking for. To noone's suprise the character transformation did not miraculously happen and he responded to tell me that I h... Continue reading ...

Pun fully intended here... I'm doing a double topic blog post, on both X and the X Factor... and my weekend in general really. I'm currently sat watching the X Factor and feel in need of a bit of a rant about this year's talent offering.. I'm all for a bit of controversy and entertainment but I think this year I've either become a complete loser who gets irrationally enraged over people (which is highly likely) or they have some really ridiculous people taking part and I can't see why they ar...

So now we are in the official run up to Christmas, I feel it’s time to start prepping myself for the inevitable family questions that will crop up over the festive period.. “Are you seeing anyone new? Any special men on the scene?” etc etc
It’s not the questions so much that bother me, it’s the reaction to my answer of “no, noone special at the minute”
I could launch into an entire dialogue of the ins and outs of mine and X’s relationship over the past year, but to be hone... Continue reading ...

So it's been a while since my last post.. and a LOT has happened.. I decided to move on from X and within the space of three days he made a revelation of his own and decided to announce that he was in love with me.. all this coincided with me having a romantic encounter with a nice guy who I thought was in to me.. (in turns out in the end that he either isn't, or he's too lazy to show that he is) Anyway.. X has decided he thinks he loves me and would like me to forget the past year and willin...

I know it's only the end of October - but already I feel I'm in the grips of Christmas.. this may be something to do with the fact that I've been working on Christmas since August. Plymouth Winter Festival will be in full swing soon and I am super excited for the Christmas Ice Rink... and a little bit giddy about Lemar switching on the Christmas Lights! Very exciting! Christmas does leave me feeling a little nostalgic though..and with it I made a bit of a school girl error last night and gave... Continue reading ...

First things first... I seem to have been proven right about my gut feeling... my date who seemed so keen up until third date time has gone silent. No big deal as I wasn't sure I was that into him anyway.
Secondly, having woken up absolutely freezing on Monday - I mean seriously, it was so so so so cold! - I thought I should wrap up warm and so I did.. It was only when I got to work that I realised my tights, polo neck and dress combination made me look like a very sombre nun. Bad enough..
BU... Continue reading ...

So I've been on a couple of dates now with this new guy.. and it seems apparent that he's still haunted by his own ex.. she seems to have been on our dates with us as he's mentioned her a few times now. Despite this he seems very nice and sweet - but I have the feeling in the pit of my stomach that it won't be long until the immortal lines 'you're nice but I'm just not looking for a relationship' are uttered... call me cynical or paranoid if you will but never the less it's there. We had our ... Continue reading ...

I've had a realisation that it's nearly been a year since my first date with X... he's still texting me now and again asking for us to meet up and see each other.. I'm managing to resist so far. I'm still too angry with him to entertain the idea of seeing him. As it's now the run up to Christmas we're also having to take on some additional staff at work.. which is harmless enough. Only problem being that additional staff includes an ex boyfriend of mine - who I will have to work with. Uncomfo... Continue reading ...

I've lost my patience with most people on facebook this week... I looked down my news feed and the majority of people's status updates were about their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and babies... Now I'm all for being madly in love with someone but if you can't even update a facebook status without talking about them there is a serious problem.. Surely when you're in a relationship you shouldn't lose your own identity and thoughts? My intolerance resulted in the following status from myse... Continue reading ...

That a girl sat on her own watching pride and prejudice must be in want of a life... To quote the lovely Jane Austen herself (sort of) It's Wednesday night... and I feel like the week should be over already.. and here I am sat at home in my pj's half watching P&P and writing this post.. you might wonder why I haven't organised a date for myself this evening... Well the intention was there, but the gentleman who asked me on a date for this evening didn't want to meet until 10.30... and I think... Continue reading ...

So.. tonight is my second contemporary dance class in 6 years... I went last week and absolutely loved it, despite aching and complaining to everyone at work for the next couple of days. So I'm off again tonight and I can't wait.. It's run by the lovely Sally from Attik Dance and is a really enjoyable class.. and even though I'm a little bit rusty I managed to vaguely keep up last week. I'm glad to be busy as X has been texting me again trying to tempt me into seeing him - fortunately I know ... Continue reading ...

About Me
I'm a twenty something woman, living in the UK. I have a job, I'm relatively good looking, I can cook and I like to think I have a good sense of humour... and yet - I'm single.
Don't get me wrong - I love being single and having my freedom - but sometimes I'm amazed by the things I say and do both in day to day life and in my encounters with men.. and when I say amazed I don't mean in a good way.
About Him
I'm a twenty something guy, living in the USA. I am a medical student, I'm pretty attractive (although my friends often tell me there are other attractive men out there, apparently), I'm fun and have a great sense of humour, I can cook better than almost every girl I've met, and I have a decent fashion sense - for a guy. However, I'm single. I've been told this may have something to do with my lack of patience, a certain egocentric streak, my often acerbic humour, or a penchant for getting drunk at inappropriate times or to an inappropriate degree when the occasion is acceptable. Perhaps all of the above.
