There's a common stereotype about those of us that are single on Valentine's Day, and it's that we're all bitter. And you know what? IT'S SPOT ON. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like seeing everyone all loved up makes me really happy, I hate you all. I would like to be spoiled on... Continue Reading →
Dating Disaster: Bike Ride Edition
It's a warm early summer's day, the sky is cloudless, and you're cycling down the canal path alongside a pretty girl. Sounds like a dream date, right? And you know what, it could have been if it wasn't for the fact I was on a date with the female equivalent of Lance fucking Armstrong. I've... Continue Reading →
A Year of Blogging and Procrastinating
Some of my favourite posts to read by other bloggers were those about their first year of blogging. Reading about other people's wins always gave me a wee serotonin boost as well as giving me some much needed inspiration for what my own blog could potentially accomplish. I read those posts and thought to myself... Continue Reading →
First Heartbreak
It ended. And so did my sanity. It started with one unanswered message, two days passed and I had no reply, it wasn't like her, we spoke every day, a text sent to check in, a reply to say she had tried to respond but didn’t know what to say, then three days pass with... Continue Reading →
24 Hours in Newcastle
Before coming out the thought of dates lasting anymore than one night absolutely baffled me. My standard dating pattern was going for drinks (and getting inevitably smashed), bringing them back to my place and then punting them out the door as soon as the sun was up. The idea that I would want to spend... Continue Reading →
Inter-continental Hoe Phase
*Disclaimer: all covid precautions have been followed, your gal is fully vaccinated (big flex, I know) and I've made sure to follow the rules. It's been quiet on the blog the past few months, the reason being that things with my girlfriend ended and I was completely devastated. The breakup was so unexpected and it... Continue Reading →
Coming Out: To My Parents
Coming out is never easy, there's always that fear that someone will react badly but coming out to my parents was the one I was most worried about. I love my parents and they love me but I was acutely aware that for my whole life I had only ever been with men (as far... Continue Reading →
Dating Apps: The Lesbian Experience
I have the good fortune (if you want to call it that) of having experienced dating apps as a straight woman and as a gay woman, and the two experiences are wildly different! Online dating as a straight woman is just a lot of overly forward messages from average men who have no reason to... Continue Reading →
Coming Out: Self Acceptance
Everyone shares their experiences of coming out to family and friends and we all know how difficult it can be but what you don't see a lot of is the stories of how people came out to themselves. Everyone's journey is different, some people have always known their sexuality and accepted it, others have known... Continue Reading →
What Not to Do on a First Date
You're probably expecting "ten things to avoid doing on a first date" and if you are then sorry to disappoint but you're not going to get it here. I actually find these types of post insanely dull, most of it is common sense like "don't turn up smelly and unclean". I mean c'mon who has... Continue Reading →
