The dog


So it all began on Thursday (the app and conveniently the day of the week). Having tried all the well known apps, I came across Thursday. The idea behind it is that dating is intentional and not just backwards and forwards talking with no intention to meet. You can only talk to people on the app on a…YOU GUESSED IT; a Thursday. And at midnight; like Cinderella, Anyone you’ve spoken to on that day disappears. So you have had to swap numbers to continue the conversation. They also have events where members can go to, but I’ve not tried those out yet. 


So this fateful Thursday, my first go; I started talking to this one guy. Seemed nice enough a cheeky fireman who lived nearby who had the fateful DOG. In the spirit of the app we agreed to meet that day; it is Thursday after all. So as we tried to tie up a location, he implied that his dog came with him everywhere. Me being naive thinking suggesting a pub on a rainy day meant the dog would be kept at home. Well I was wrong! A few hours later we made it to the pub and of course the dog was there. A giant Labrador that spent half the evening trying to escape from where we were sitting to explore. Eventually she fell asleep and we can actually talk interrupted. Which is when I got asked how I felt about dogs in the bedroom! 


It didn’t put me off completely because we had a cheeky kiss in the car park and when I got home I invited him back to mine and he returned without the dog. Then it got worse; if I could have ended it when I saw the underpants I would have. For any guys reading this, if there is any chance you will get lucky PLEASE make sure you are wearing underpants that aren’t 20 years old, baggy, misshaped, and generally ill fitting! Sadly the ugly underpants were not a one off and I’ve seen more since. 


The evening went even further downhill from there when he told me his go to was missionary. Nothing wrong with that but you don’t have to tell me that on a first date. So although the dog was left behind, he set an alarm to make sure he didn’t fall asleep and leave poor doggo on her own. Not that I was inviting him to stay the night and promptly suggested he leave as I was tired and had an early start. 


So with him wanting to see me again, this was definitely a one hit wonder. Although I do love dogs I have learnt to be a bit weary when a guy mentions he has a dog. 


And although I've not had much joy on Thursday since, I do dabble in it from time to time.

Where shall we meet?

Things have been going well, you've swapped numbers and you finally agree to meet. Great, things are progressing, then the dreaded question...where shall we meet? It does seem that gone are the days (not that I would know) but of what I think were the days that a guy would take ownership of these things. Is it really that hard to suggest a location to meet? I am sick and tired of the 'oh I'm easy, we can go wherever', just because they are lazy and cannot be bothered to think with their brain. I've had the laid back guys who just 'go with the flow'. Maybe as a person who likes structure and order I'm overreacting on this, but it would just be lovely to have someone suggest a date, time and location and ask me if I'm happy with that. But that rarely happens. Or when it does their suggestions are great but at least they thought about it, even for a split second. Even if 30 year old adults end up playing video games and going to a giant ball pit at leas...

The Dicks

Image
This can be split into two categories; the physical dicks be it in real life or dick pics or the metaphorical dicks, the dick heads shall we say. I will talk about each in turn.   The physical dicks   These come in all shapes and sizes with varying abilities, I’ve seen the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Men seem to have a fascination with them and some want to share them with you even if you have no interest in seeing them whatsoever. Usually the unexpected/unwanted dick pic is before you have even met this not so fine specimen of a man so you can simply delete , block and move on. You do get the odd post meeting dick pic and can act accordingly.     The dick heads These are more of the annoying beast. The rude ones who ask your weight comparing it to meta data and height or question how genuine your photos are. Or we have the ones who call you arrogant to your face. These come in all forms of rudeness and I would have assumed that this behaviour would occur prior ...

6 dates in 10 days

  So, I have just returned from the end of my marathon of dates. Date 6 now complete within the last 10 days. Well haven’t I been a busy bee! To clarify it was with 5 guys so one actually made it to a second date, if that makes any difference.     They say dating is a numbers game, so I thought I’d play the odds. With a bank holiday in the mix, it was a great time to try this out and as we all know men are like buses, you wait around for ages and 5 appear at the same time.   Well, this story started off very badly and if I had maybe been someone else, I would have cut my losses and ended it there, but if I am nothing, I am a perseverer ; read that as stubborn, determined or delusional. So, it was one of those dates that I knew he wasn’t the one but being polite you engage in the conversation waiting for it to end and go your separate ways. Well curveball on this one and after telling him I was looking for someone who had their shit together and not a party boy f...
