Long-Distance Love

September 26, 2013

I start this post sitting in the Departure Lounge at JFK waiting for my flight to Los Angeles to board. As I look around the lounge, three things cross my mind. First off, I’m celeb-spotting. Still buzzing from my chat about the Challenge [...]

Bridget Jones Meets The Apprentice

September 23, 2013

As a girl approaching thirty, it’s easy to see dating as having one sole purpose – to find the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. Facebook is no longer filled with drunken pictures of your friends molesting traffic [...]

East End Boys and West End Girls

September 11, 2013

I’ve never read too much into postcodes. Growing up in Reading, the only postcode that was ever important was ‘RG1’ – a tacky nightclub in the centre of town which closed down before I was legally old enough to go in! Other [...]

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 [...]

The Return of the Henley Boy – Part One!

September 5, 2013

So this definitely wasn’t the post I expected to be writing tonight!! Yesterday the blog hit 35,000 views, and as a mark of celebration, I decided to do something I had been planning on doing for some time. If I’m completely honest, [...]

Dating Out of Your Depth

August 15, 2013

This evening a fellow blogger linked up one of his blog posts to ’30 Dates by 30′. He was writing about the ‘Seven Fears’ which stop him asking girls out on dates, and Fear Number 4 was that he worries that he won’t [...]

The Bad Date Experiment

August 14, 2013

Regular readers of this blog will know that it has grown quite organically. What started as a tentative Facebook status one quiet morning at work, has grown into an almost daily online record of my ‘love life’ for the final three months [...]

Living Life One Day at a Time

August 6, 2013

If this challenge is teaching me anything, it’s not to plan too far in advance! Tonight a second guy who I had made date plans with weeks in advance cancelled our date next Thursday. I should probably see it as a lesson that Henley Boy [...]

Goldilocks & The Fairytale Couple

July 25, 2013

As I mentioned briefly last night, a friend of mine calls me the ‘Goldilocks of Dating’, and it’s a nickname I rather like. Goldilocks knew exactly how she liked things, and she wasn’t prepared to settle. Just weeks away from [...]

The (Good?) Nutter

July 12, 2013

Ah I got you didn’t I …. you thought I was being mean and picky again!!! Don’t worry, the Nutter is actually me! Or, hopefully not me … but we’ll see! ‘The Challenge So Far’, that I posted this evening, [...]
