I went out on an RSVP date a couple of days ago. Now I know I promised a few weeks ago that I wouldn’t be writing about my dating experiences anymore, but I think this is alright – I can write about this experience because: I’m not going to be saying anything particularly personal or identifying [...] Over the last fortnight, a couple of people have asked me whether I’ve been dating someone. One comment was in relation to my infrequent recent blogging habits, surmising that I’d been neglecting that in favour of devoting more time to that special someone. This would be a fair enough excuse – it appears quite typical [...] Last week I received some suggestions regarding avenues I could explore to meet that significant someone. I’ll be returning to these, in blog form at least, over the coming weeks, but for the moment I’ve been sucked back into the online dating site, RSVP. It was late one night, I was slightly drunk, checking my [...] So I figure it’s time to get back into the whole dating thing. It’s been close to three months since my last relationship ended.

Lateral thinking is the “10% inspiration”, the muse, intuition, the personal element [...] I have exciting news, but before I get to it, I’d like to extend a warm thank you to all my readers for their heartfelt support and very useful advice along the road to lurve thus far. The other day, as I was wandering through my lounge-room juggling it struck me that having a blog [...] I’m glad that so many people last week enjoyed my somewhat direct RSVP profile. I’m now at email stage with six lucky women, and have moved on to SMS with a seventh. In terms of dating skills, I think I’m okay at preliminary flirting now. But leveling up is proving a little more challenging. I [...] Alrighty. You’ll be pleased to know I’m hanging in there. This morning I bought myself twelve RSVP stamps and today I’ve kissed more girls than I have in my whole life. (That might not be true – I can’t be bothered counting – it sounds good to say it though). Last week, Tony made the [...] |
