It's only been in the backend [haha ooh-err] - say, some point in November onwards - of 2018 that I've been considering dipping my toes back into the world of dating. My previous relationship of like, 6 years came to an end this year; with my now ex-bae seemingly thinking that if he pretended I didn't exist and swept me under the carpet, that all our problems would just go away

No, hun. Wot r u doing. I'm like a big old monster turd that won't flush; you don't just get rid of me.

Anyway, I decided to flush myself out of his life, because he never bothered to talk to me or to pull the chain [really gotta get out of using these poo related metaphors] & since then, it's been a right old roflcopter. I LOVE being single soooooo much, and I'm definitely in no rush to get into a relationship right now; unless it's with a Kinder Bueno. Or a king-size duvet. But there's been a few things I've noticed & taken away from my short time back in the game. Not on the game. I'm not a hooker.


You can tell that's the truth because of how poor I am.

1. 2019 is gonna be insanely fun and I can't wait

I've got holidays, hen dos and trips around the globe pencilled in -  I'm buzzin' just thinking about all the people I'm gonna meet & get chatting with, in the company of my very best friends. Who are always a great judge in character when it comes to romance. 

I love my best friend group more than anything in the world & if they get on with potential bae interests & vice-versa, that's pretty much all that matters to me.

2. I don't know if it's because I've spent so much time on Twitter whilst in a relationship than when I was last single [which has opened my eyes to a lot] but I'm noticing problematic behaviour and entitlement so much more in blokes now I'm back out there & it's rly not okay. 

Some fella called me a slut the other day because he thought I'd given him a fake number, even though I'd actually given him my real one because I felt too sly to say no. But it's okay, I destroyed him for his behaviour :]

3. I don't know if I'll ever be okay with Tinder

4. Also, why are so many people on Tinder that I know?

Like, I've only scrolled through it for the lols & to absolutely troll the fellas on it about bumholes, but I've literally found like, pure Uber drivers & even the creepy man in the petrol station. It's hilarious but also the biggest risk that you might accidentally swipe right on them & end up in the most awkward situation of ya adult life.

5. People ask why I'm single like it's a bad thing?? I'm like, erm, because I want to be hun?? It's one of the most liberating things, I've never wanted or needed to be in a relationship to be myself and feel confident in myself before now; and I'm really happy that I'm starting to feel enough like me again to remember this feeling.

6. I've been hanging out with friends - male and female - a lot more since everything's gone a bit Pete Tong, and that's been really nice. I reconnected with a lad I knew from uni and we went for catch-up beverages & egg banter... and I even rejoined Facebook [though I hate it & will no doubt be gone again off it soon] because I just wanted to chat to people and remember who I am / was. 

7. I scupper my own chances with males more often than not because my own jokes are too funny to not say; whilst dead inappropriate. And then laugh at hysterically for about an hour. But I really don't care hahahaha.

8. 99% of boys seem to think that the very first time they speak to you, they can go in with a spooning invitation. Which obv means I have to go respond & go right back in with a good old fork pun. A fork and a cough.

9. NOONE BELIEVES HOW OLD I AM. But it's funny.

10. I feel like an actual heated up fossil in clubs these days. Why is everyone so young pls?

I'm really excited to meet new people, get out to new places and see where life takes me in 2019. I'd have liked to have got some closure & had a chance to discuss things with old bae, I really would, but seeing as he's jibbed me right off; I'm gonna have to revert back to my new moral compass of YOLO and move the frig on.

New Year is fast approaching - and with it, 2019 brings so many chances to meet new people AND a new chapter. Whilst keeping the old people I know & love from this year & the past. All of which I'll hopefully be able to document properly on me blog. Yay!
