#MyWorstDate Story...We're Closer Than You Think
I got a friend request on Instagram. When I noticed that we had a few mutual friends, I accepted him. I accepted him mainly because I thought he was cute, not because we have the same friends. Don’t you ever stalk new followers? I always do, and I did to this guy. The more I looked at his posts, the more I was attracted to him. He had this facial structure that was so chiseled, he made the Statue of David look like a phony. And he had these eyes that were a bit darker than mine. Wait, then I came across one of his shirtless posts—he accepted my requestand immediately DMed me. And that’s where everything sailed off.

What Not to Wear on a First Date
A first date can make or break a relationship. (Or should I say a "could be" relationship?) And while you're a fabulous woman just the way you are, the truth is that making a good first impression with a new guy is important. Not just with your attitude and behavior, but also with your appearance.

Swipe Left for WTF, Swipe Right for Nightmare
There you are, at the bar having tequila, wondering why it went so wrong. Why he decided to talk about the size of his penis for the last half hour or why he just answered a call from his “guy friend” who sounded a lot like a female—unless he is currently undergoing a voice change and taking hormones for it.

The Modern Dating Game
To say coming out of a 17 year relationship was a little scary is an understatement. Not least because I felt that nothing which was happening at the time was really within my control (the details of which I’ll leave for another blog). But to cut a long story short, I never really wanted to be single right then. However, as it was, I found myself exactly that on New Years Day, 2016, and when the last time you were dating was 1998 (a whole different millennia), the dating game had moved on somewhat from then!
