The last guy I dated (and he knows who he is) practically begged me not to include him in my blog - wait for it... when he dumped me! Naturally I reassured him at the time that he wouldn't but a few weeks later and I've re-considered.
It's not that I want to slag him off particularly but it strikes me as amusing that he would even be concerned. To cover my ass I did point out that I rarely use their real names, preferring instead to give them an interesting moniker derived from some curious aspect of their behaviour or personality. Besides, if he dumped me, he's hardly going to be reading my blog again, right?!
It's got me thinking though. Precisely what does a man have to do to not make it into my blog? Part of me thinks like Beyoncé - if you like it then you'd better put a ring on it - but if what I remember of marriage is correct I'd need to have some outlet to complain about my husband once the initial warm glow had worn off.
There have been one or two notable occasions that haven't made it into my blog this year, mainly the most exciting, outlandish and outrageous things that I have got up to. I'd love to write about them but even I consider some things to be 'too much information' to be out there on the web.
I've also wondered what a potential date would think about my blog, in a 'oh dear I'd best keep it quiet, it would probably put him off' kind-of-way. Maybe one day there'll be a man that comes along that's impressed by my writing, who enjoys my humour and does some of the outrageous things that mean he'll never end up in here. I look forward to meeting that guy...

Bored of online dating
Oh I'm so terribly bored of online dating. I have my second datingdirect wedding to go to this month and I've also witnessed two datingdirect babies but my own online dating results have been limited to a few not-so-interesting shags and, at best, dinner and a musical in the West End.
Maybe it's just me. Perhaps it's my profile that attracts only the ugly men. Or the men from Belgium. Or the men that I have already repeatedly ignored who don't seem to be able to take a fucking hint. I've had more than 4000 visits to my profile and over 2100 winks but ask me when it was that I last went out on a date?
The good looking ones are boring, the interesting ones are ugly. The ones wearing caps are all bald, the short ones have a chip on their shoulder and the vast majority of them are completely deluded as to their own attractiveness. I remind myself to run from any that are near to 40 and don't appear to have managed to either have a child or have had a serious relationship.
I think my profile is only still active because I can't be bothered to raise the energy to de-activate it. That or I still get some entertainment from the sheer ugliness of some of the men on there who clearly have never had sex, at least not with any living woman. I'm not that desperate. Not yet.
