Introductions

On the advice of my two best friends, I have started this journal as a record of my experiences being a single girl and everything else that comes along with trying to date. I guess this journal serves no purpose or benefit than my own, hopefully in time it will save me from making the same mistakes repeatedly and will most likely give me something to laugh at when I’m having a bad day.

In no way am I desperate to find a man, either for a quick fling or something long term, and I would describe myself as a naturally cynic with a hidden romantic side.

I was in a relationship for 18 months but broke up with my significant other because he wanted a level of commitment I was unable to give. Breaking up hurt, not because I was heartbroken but because I had broken the heart of someone I cared deeply about.

So once again I am single and there is a whole world of opportunities, if only it was that simple! I am pretty convinced that dating gets harder the older you get, and the rules of engagement get more complex and more blurred so that moving from a simple kiss on a Saturday night to telling someone you “like” them becomes as difficult and doing the tango stood on your hands, or at least that’s how it feels to me.

But I’m willing to give it all a shot (again) none the less.
