Does it get better?

First date attempt #3

(this is from last year...just found it in my drafts)

I’ll call this one “E”. E messages me and we talk for a few days. He’s very aggressive and wants to meet right away. We plan to meet at Starbucks, but then I’m feeling crappy so I cancel about an hour before. He takes that as me changing my mind and blowing him off. I beg to differ; I really felt like shit. I explain this and so we reschedule for Monday night. He’s nice enough and sweet so I keep talking to him and we decide to go out again on Friday. He picks a restaurant, then tells me when I’m deciding what to order that he already ate. Soooo, you’re just going to watch me eat?!?!?!!! Because that’s not weird… whatever, I’m hungry, so I ate and he sat there while I ate. He invites me back to his place (his place is really just a room that he rents, but whatever). I say okay. We have sex (because hey, it’s been a while) and it is SO BAD. Like jackhammer guy from Sex and the City bad. He grabbed my boobs so hard, I had bruises!!! Also, he told me he loved me. Exact conversation: E: I think I love you. Me: No, you don’t. E: I don’t? Me: No, you just think you do.

Needless to say, the bruises lasted longer than the “relationship”.

When I told him I didn’t want to see him anymore, he flipped out. Called me all kinds of names… I had to block him. I was half afraid that I was going to wake up to slashed tires.

Bye, online dating. Until the next time...

One day off online dating

Day 1 and I’m relieved with my decision…

What I’m definitely NOT missing is: - seeing selfies with a toilet in the background (seriously guys what are you thinking?!!!) - pics of men posing with shirts off (instant turn off if you’re more into yourself than me - endless online chat with not even a mention of a coffee catch up (I don't need a penpal) AND on my first day offline, I was asked out on a dinner date!!! Hilarious turn of events but since it was a client I had to politely decline.

Stay tuned for more of what I gained in my first week offline

[girlgoneofflinedating-blog]

It all started one Sunday in Sydney

Having returned from a week interstate where my “location based” dating app wasn’t any good to me, I realised I was somehow happier!

For a whole week I didn’t waste time on meaningless chat only to find out the man just wanted to hook up and “we’ll see where it goes from there”; no more dates where the man wanted to eat in an expensive restaurant, ordered expensive wine and then pushed the bill over to me; no more dates where the man leads me on then tells me he has an airline ticket back to live France next month! Seriously the list gets a lot worse…

So I started thinking, what happens if I go OFF online dating for good?
