And it happened again. For good measure, and so I don’t get too upbeat and dare I say hopeful at the end of this year – I just received another ‘thanks but no thanks’, no date number three.
I’m feeling a little bit down, and even though I try to remind myself of all the things I am great in preaching to others, I keep thinking ‘what’s wrong with me?’. Continue reading
This was quite a year for me… I had some very low lows, and also some pretty good times. I would like to take the opportunity to reflect and to make a list (I love a good list đ ) to see what outweighed in 2015 – the highs or the lows. And maybe along the way of writing the list I will learn something, or you… Continue reading
It’s been a while, and I started to get worried that I got out of practice. But last week I did it again (whoop) – I went on my first date since I called a break in August!
To my relief, I was not out of practice – I must say the date went really well. Who would have thought that there are nice men around after all?! I know, I should not jinx anything yet, but only the fact that I had a lovely evening gives me hope! Continue reading
As I promised to myself, I am still ‘off dating’. No dates in August and I am even contemplating if I should extend the self-healing period to September. Sorry guys, no new stories yet đ
When you finally agree to a date, one of the big questions always is ‘What should I wear?’. And the frantic search in your wardrobe begins, interrupted by ‘I have nothing to wear’ or ‘I should go shopping’ and emergency texts to your girlfriends. Ha! Where are you going to meet? That has a big impact on what you should wear. I personally like to meet in a pub, it’s easy and casual, no need to dress up too much with the danger of being overdressed in the end.
Did you ask your date one of the quintessential questions? Continue reading
‘The universe will sort it!’ – Have you ever been told this?
My friend Sue keeps saying this to me, usually when I moan again that I do not meet the right man or no man or anything else does not work out the way I was hoping to. Then she says, in all seriousness, that I would not do it the correct way. I would have to visualise whatever I want, I would have to say it out loud, and then just send it off. To the universe. As simple as that… Ha ha!
It makes me laugh every time. And as much as I would love to believe in this, I just don’t. I can’t. Don’t get me wrong, I try to pretend I do, to maybe trick the universe as I don’t want to upset it and hence ignore my requests, but really…?! Continue reading
Right now I am sitting in an airport lounge half way around the world, on my way to my holiday destination. I cannot wait. Unfortunately, I am travelling on my own (will meet my travel buddies over there only) which leaves a lot of time to think and over-think. Did I mention before, that I am an over thinker? Chronically. Sigh.
Various topics keep me awake, most of them involve men of course. One man in particular. I met him a year ago, and we have since only been in touch by phone or Skype, and met once a couple of months ago. In Paris of all cities! I loved it, we spent the most amazing weekend together. I adore this man.
So what’s the trick, you ask. He lives on the other side of the world, literally. You may wonder, what kind of relationship we have… Continue reading
One topic that frustrates and angers me again and again (and this week is such a time) is the lack of willingness to commit. Not only to commit to romantic relationships, that would justify a post on its own.
I’m talking about Continue reading
Well, the week did get better. Phew, I am a little relieved! I had a lovely first date. He was very nice, charming, witty and funny. We had lots to talk about and – most importantly – we will meet again! Yey!
Now the anxious wait for the second date starts. Continue reading
I am sure this happens to all of us. But once in a while I am wobbling, my confidence is running a little low and I’m thinking ‘What is wrong with me? Why can’t I find a man?’. Continue reading
One issue I can’t get my head around is calling someone, I mean actually picking up the phone and talking to someone. It seems no one ever speaks to each other anymore.
It goes like this: you meet a nice guy and swap numbers, which means you would like to meet up again. Continue reading
