Ola friends! Yes I know it has been a LONG time since I have last posted... slack tart but now I am armed with a crap load of great dating adventures.
First things first though, I need to know what you guys think about online dating? Perhaps one is thinking of partaking but needs a little nudge. In fact, there are a couple of us ladies at my work who are seriously taking the leap into the unknown to the hope to find the man of our dreams (vomit, I hate that cliche).
The other two lovely ladies who are interested are fantastic - work in a great industry, successful, supportive, loving, honest, attractive, funny and have everything going for them. Yet like myself, we continue to meet complete losers or bad boys who use us, or we're just not meeting anyway at all. So what to do?
Sure we're time poor and I guess online dating does make sense. We can suss out potential suitors on line, get to know them and then decide whether we want to catch up or not. But what are the cons?
My friend told me not to go for men in photos who are not smiling as they have bad teeth. Ha - WTF? That is a good one. I guess you can be anyone you want online but how is that going to help me find an honest man?
Another girlfriend went on a dating site for some time. She was about to give up when she met Anthony. They fell totally in love and are still together now. I have no doubt they'll get hitched and live happily ever after!
So should we do it? Just go for it - I guess there's no harm in putting ourselves out there... afterall we're not meeting anyone out at bars or pubs or through work. Oh the dating world... such joys!

So everyone keeps banging on about this supposed man drought that we're having... ok so there may be more single women than men but I think women might have a little something to do with that... we're just too fussy!!!
The truth is... there are plenty of men out there - at the gym, the pub, work, everywhere! And they are looking for lovely ladies too. It may be true that some are looking for one night stands and can be complete a*holes, but I truly believe there are a lot of men out there like us, looking for love.
The only problem is that women are turning their noses up at these guys playing the 'fussy' card. We're picking their faults and coming to the conclusion that they're not good enough for us.
I am first to admit that I am too fussy and so are half my friends. We whine that we can't meet a guy or there are no men out there but at the end of the day, there are, we're just not giving them a chance! We're very quick to make up our minds when we meet someone, that they're not for us, so quick that we hardly know them.
But here's the other side of the argument... sure, women are fussy but why push something if nothing is there. Ideally, you want to be physically and mentally attracted to someone, right? But what happens if something is missing? Do you keep at it trying to find that attraction or is a waste of time?
Isn't love suppose to come easily?
True, maybe women need to give men more time before closing the book on them - maybe we might not get a lover but more a great friend out of them. Who knows, they might just be perfect for one of our friends.
What do you think - are women too fussy? Are we giving up too easily on what could be a wonderful thing?
Let me know!

You know how people say when you meet someone - you know they're the one! You fall head over heels in love! Well what happens if you never find that someone and you never fall in love??? Do we die old spinsters with a million cats in our house as our only companions?
It's something I have been thinking about a lot recently - yes, true I am getting older. It just seems everyone around me is finding love... they're dating, moving in together, getting married even having children. And here's me still doing my thing and waiting for my turn.
I am not bitter about it - I just have been single for a long time and maybe I would like someone in my life. I love being single but there comes a time when you think, hey I would like to buy a house with someone, I would like a dog with them, get married, have kids... but what happens if it never works out like that?
Take my boss for instance... we work in a highly engergetic yet stressful industry... it's fun and it's not hard to get carried away in it and work 24/7. He's nearing 40 and still hasn't found that the lovely lady that makes his heart flutter!!! I am sure many professionals are in the same boat... work consumes their life that they have very little time for love. Then when you do, do we really need to search for it by internet dating or speed dating - who has the energy? And shouldn't love just come easily?
Makes me think that maybe some of us in the world just don't find love - we're destined to work, socialise and be single all our lives. Is that a bad thing? Will we be lonely?
Who knows - I guess it's in the hands of the Universe!
Let me know your thoughts!

Remember the song 'Breaking Up Is Hard to Do'? Well I think those kids knew what they were talking about. Even if you're the one who is doing the dumping, it is still bloody hard. Last week I felt like a right royal cow when I told one of the most perfect guys in the world that he wasn't so perfect for me... let's go back to the start

I was chatting to my friend Nadia the other night about dating. We're two single professional ladies who have a fair income – I wouldn't say we're as rich as Donald Trump but we're surviving. We both often date a lot as well and we were discussing how being single is actually quite expensive

An interesting article passed my desk yesterday from News.Com that suggested the internet is credited for more and more people talking and viewing sex than ever before, however when it comes to real life relationships, we're not speaking up about our problems with getting jiggy in the bedroom

A few months ago, my closest friends had an intervention with me! We laugh about it now, but they seemed to think that I only dated celebrities and sportspeople! Well, okay I didn't do it deliberately but yeah I did have the tendency to date people with a profile. So they thought it was time to put an end to it as I always seemed to get treated like crap by these particular people and end up having my heart broken (well not that extreme but yeah they didn’t make me feel amazing afterwards

I just read a blog commenting about how in today's society and with every sort of media we are subjected to, if we're ugly we're not going to find love! BULLOCKS!!!! I get so outraged when I hear things like that. I can actually feel steam coming out of my ears. I don't understand why people have to think such negative things because you know what, you do that, you'll just attract negative things into your life
