Online dating has its ups and downs, as any sort of dating does. On paper, my recent match closely resembled my invisible list of what I was looking for in a partner. European, tall, slim and relatively handsome. Older than I normally date, with facial lines that I hoped were born of wisdom. After an […]
Excited, thrilled, moon dance performed live in my lounge room! Hottie Number Six from my first-speed dating event called me! Not only did he call, it was the morning after the speed dating event. Number Six likes me, Number Six wants to marry me, Number Six you are sooo into me! Is there ever a […]
Cupid seems to be MIA when it came to finding my Valentine. Even when Cupid decides to shoot me, his aim is not great. It’s a commercial over-rated, over manufactured day.

THREATS from a good friend of her intention to accompany me on my next date with the purpose of providing a performance appraisal of my dating methods, left my top brow a little moist. My only means of prevention was to get in first, conduct my own self assessment and provide her with the feedback! […]
I was always a fan of this show in past seasons. The women were down to earth, the men were true blue Aussie Farmers that portrayed a real need to find some lov’n and hopefully score a wife. Last night’s launch of episode 8 left me cringing and questioning ‘is this what women have come […]
