I’ve given up on sex and romance and gone to Colombia

Probably not the wisest thing to declare on a sex and dating blog (don’t worry, I still have upcoming sex discourse to keep you entertained), but I’ve quit my job and now I am looking out at the mountains from an ecolodge in Colombia. I’ve hit that classic 30-plus stage of life where you question your existence so far, and then decide to run away … Continue reading I’ve given up on sex and romance and gone to Colombia

Please don’t ask for feedback after a date

This is an old date story, but I think the lessons learnt here are still relevant. Back when I used to date and use apps, I would ask a filter question before meeting up with anyone I.R.L. to gauge their political beliefs and check if we’re on the same wavelength. This guy was maybe two years younger than me, but he seemed cute. I had … Continue reading Please don’t ask for feedback after a date

Shitty racist stuff men have said to me

It’s been a difficult few weeks with some difficult conversations. Speaking up about racism is the right thing to do, and Black lives matter. ALL Black lives matter, that will never be a debate. But sadly, talking about racism can be really triggering for Black people and other people of colour and it brings up some horrible memories. I’ve been really frank and honest with … Continue reading Shitty racist stuff men have said to me

How to not suck at Hinge

Like most singletons during this global pandemic, I’m horny as FUCK. Also scared. Really scared, actually. Eternally anxious too. A bit bored as well. Partly due to that last one, I’ve been driven to excessive Hinging during these unprecedented times. As a result, I’ve noticed some common mistakes in men’s dating app profiles, so I’m going to give you all some tips to improve your … Continue reading How to not suck at Hinge

My Hinge date had to come with me to get the morning-after pill.

I’ve not had sex in a long time because I had been in the midst of a minor mental health mare which I’m slowly recovering from using drugs and therapy (more on that in a later post, I’m sure). I had been taking a dating hiatus but have been back on the apps for a month now, only to find I was disappointed by the … Continue reading My Hinge date had to come with me to get the morning-after pill.

I slept with a guy who has a girlfriend

I’m not a home-wrecker though, they are actually in an open relationship – or at least, it’s something they’ve recently started trying. And this definitely isn’t a situation where the man tells me he’s in an open relationship, when he’s really just cheating because, although he was a Tinder match, we had mutual friends so I did a bit of investigating to verify this information. … Continue reading I slept with a guy who has a girlfriend

No Asian dentist, I will not respond to you after you ghosted me for THREE MONTHS.

I knew I would eventually write about this Asian dentist, but I thought it would be in the post about how I realised that thankfully I wasn’t that racist because I finally started dating Asian men. Instead, the Asian dentist will feature in this classic story about how men are really fucking annoying. There’s a much longer story here that I accidentally started to tell but … Continue reading No Asian dentist, I will not respond to you after you ghosted me for THREE MONTHS.

Who the fuck am I and why am I writing about having sex?

I’ve not really given much of an explanation for why I’ve written two blog posts about men I slept with last week. I just knew I wanted to start a blog about my dating experiences and since I finally had sex last week, I thought it would be a good time to get the ball rolling. My intention isn’t to write salscious stories about having … Continue reading Who the fuck am I and why am I writing about having sex?
