We all have bad date stories … and since Tinder appeared on the scene, many of us have rather amusing stories without ever meeting the other person! Now a new series of videos on Vimeo asks daters to tell their funny stories, while a cast [...]

Where Do Men Go Wrong With Dating?

October 6, 2014

This was a question I was asked a couple of weeks ago by another blogger. And interestingly it was a guy who was asking me the question, not a girl. As I said to the guys at The Male Stylist, this isn’t a question I can easily answer, or one I [...]

The White Collar Criminal

June 8, 2014

I very rarely talk about my dating life before this blog. Partly because the last time I really actively dated was at the age of 19. There are still a few tales which have survived the 10+ year gap. I’ll never forget the man who brought out [...]

August 17, 2013

Tonight I’ll be heading out in Madrid on Date 15 … the halfway mark of this challenge. And to be honest I think I’ve been pretty lucky so far! The average date score for the last fourteen dates has been a pretty decent 7.5/10. In [...]

The Bad Date Experiment

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 [...]
