Date Twenty-Two – The Queen’s Guard

September 12, 2013

The dating app Tinder lets you flick through photographs of single men like playing cards, either saving them for later, or casting them aside. And even offers you the chance to ‘Keep Playing’ when you stumble across a match. And the [...]

The No Show, The Experiment, and The Skype Date (or What Would Have been Date Twenty-Two!)

September 9, 2013

Firstly apologies for this write up (and my last one The Stallion) – if they read a little oddly, I’m publishing them from my iPad rather than my laptop as I’m house-sitting in London for the weekend, and WordPress is way less user [...]

Date Twenty-One – The Stallion

September 8, 2013

Sorry, couldn’t resist using this nickname, as Date 21 was with an Italian man! The Stallion was recommended to me by Ms Paparazzi – a friend I met in Sucre, Bolivia, when I was backpacking five years ago. We did a mountain bike tour [...]

The Return of the Henley Boy – Part Two!

September 6, 2013

So where do I begin? I ummed and ahed a lot about this blog post. Because for a lot of people, this should be the final bookend of the challenge. The completion of the circle. Henley Boy began this crazy adventure, surely he should be the one to [...]

Date Twenty – The Surprise Package

August 29, 2013

If ever one of my dates looked set to be dubbed ‘The No Show’ it was this one… I arranged the date at just over twenty-four hours notice after my original date cancelled on me. And where better to find an emergency blind date [...]

Date Nineteen – The Best Man

August 28, 2013

There are many names I could have come up with for The Best Man, purely from the way I ‘met’ him. The Best Man is friends with a girl who has followed my blog from the start. She is friends with the Alleycat (who referred Date Number [...]

Date Eighteen – The Fresh Prince

August 27, 2013

As you know from The Second Date, The Enigma & The Eclipse, on my way to Date Eighteen, I received a text message from The Enigma sacking me off after our second date. Not the best mood setter for a date! However, as I’ve learned from [...]

The Second Date, The Enigma & The Eclipse

August 25, 2013

When I first started this challenge, other than to ask ‘Why?’, the most common question people would ask me was what I would do if I met someone I liked. Would I continue the challenge? Or would I put it all to a halt for the sake of [...]

Date Seventeen – The Pupil

August 24, 2013

It wasn’t the best start to a date … It’s Friday night, and regular readers of the blog will have realised I try to sneak in a quick yoga class before Friday night dates. I’d learned my lesson and actually dried my hair [...]

Date Sixteen – The Argentine Matador

August 19, 2013

Before I arrived in Madrid I had told Signor28 I would quite like to see a Bull Fight. The ‘sport’ is open to much criticism, and I try not to pass judgment on foreign customs until I have experienced them. It was actually a [...]
