So I saw this profile on Tinder. The name was right, the age was a couple of years younger than the truth and there were no face pictures, just a picture of a guy in a panda suit. It was not the kind of profile I would ever match with, but the bio sure sounded familiar:…Read more 146. The Toolman rises from the dead

142. The Captain returns…continued
I expected to hear from The Captain all day on Monday, and my girlfriends checked in all day long to find out if he had called. He did not. On Tuesday I had enough waiting and took control, sending him a message. “Hi there. Do you have some time to chat today?" “Sorry busy atm…I’ll…Read more 142. The Captain returns…continued
126. The NoShow (35) and The Mauritian (38)
I matched on a dating app with a 35 year old guy who was a chef on oil rigs. He told me he worked three weeks on the rig, then flew home for a three week break, during which time he helped out a friend who owned a restaurant. He was strange on our chats, but…Read more 126.

125. The Gentleman – part 2
I knew it wasn’t right. And I knew this was going to hurt him. And it made me feel like shit. The Gentleman had sent me a couple of texts, hoping I’d enjoyed the day after our night together, wishing me sweet dreams and telling me how much fun the night had been. It had…Read more 125.

123. The Swinger’s Site
The morning after The Mystery Man, I sat and wrote my blog about it. I have been thinking that the casual sex with 30 year olds is probably not the path I want to take again. I want the passion and excitement of The Toolman with somebody who loves me. But I need a man…Read more 123. The Swinger’s Site
121 – The Mystery Man – part 2
I snap chatted to the Seeking Arrangement Guy for days. While he kept the chat going he did so slowly, revealing little about himself, in increasing increments. He kept inviting me over to his place, which I wasn’t feeling reckless enough to do. However I was getting ready to take the plunge and meet him for…Read more 121 – The Mystery Man – part 2
119. So what do I want?
I showed Mika my dating profile recently and she confirmed my concern that it was a little confusing. I am so unsure of what I want to find, and my profile reflected that. The photos are attractive (and I am still a little uncomfortable that all the pictures were all either taken by or for…Read more 119. So what do I want?
118. A little self examination
My week has been full of social engagements, as is normal at this time of year, and I have been putting the word out amongst my friends that the time has come to find a new job. Many of my friends are ex-work colleagues who know my value and can’t believe the nonsense I am…Read more 118. A little self examination
115. Daydream or nightmare?
As I waited for my flight to depart I got a message from The Boy Next Door. For some reason he was telling me all about his new 50 year old divorced neighbour who just moved in and he had fucked on the first day he met her. That Boy has never heard the phrase…Read more 115. Daydream or nightmare?
108. The Lessons
Its been a mere week since my last contact with The Toolman. While there is part of me that still fantasises about him growing the balls required to mend fences with me, I have to get some perspective. I decided this week to delete my dating apps again. Every time a guy sent me a message…Read more 108. The Lessons
