Where Have I Been?

It feels like a million years since I put up a blog post (maybe it has to do with it actually feeling like a million years Gemma?).

A Single Girl's Guide to Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day is fast approaching and after seeing copious amounts of advertisements filled with roses, chocolate and gushy cards intended for the one you love or really, really 'bananas' about. There is a real card out there that actually has that written on it. But whatever floats your boat and all that. 

Where is my Mojo?

I don't know if you guys have noticed that I'm not posting as frequently as I use to.

The Vienna Diaries

On Boxing Day I took a much-needed break away with my cousin Valerie to the picturesque beauty that is Vienna.

The Epic Non Date

Before I decided to delete my dating apps after a brief second attempt. I had the pleasure of talking to someone who introduced himself with a killer opening line. 

Where are All the Normal Guys Please?

I wasn’t planning on it but somehow I’m back on dating apps again. It has barely been a day and all the reasons I decided to delete them last time have come flooding back again.

Random

It’s strange how things happen...

How life can just change in an instance without you even realising

See before he was just this random boy I saw around

Now he makes me laugh even without knowing

Random how things can be

Resisting...Thoughts...Urges

Resisting the urge to go so deeply within this to avoid us both getting hurt

Yet for some reason

What seemed to be so black and white, is now flowing down a path of the unfamiliar that could cause both of us a greater pain.

Or should I say me,

As it is no longer apparent to me what you think about this

Case of the Exes

I slightly ashamed to admit it but I enjoy trash TV. The Only Way is Essex. TOWIE. However, you refer to it I like it and I'm happy to indulge in this secret pleasure viewing. 

Thinking

Thinking of him takes me back to a place when I was happiest

A time and place when trouble was a matter that didn't concern me,

My childhood...oh how sweet!

When my one and only concern was what should I eat!

This was before the reality of growing up and upcoming adulthood hit me like a ton of bricks

And becoming an adult seemed like a lifetime away...

Right Person Wrong Time?

Have you ever met someone you just instantly clicked with? It's like the conversation just naturally flows, everything just seems right and feels right and in an ideal scenario you would be together, yet for some reason, you aren't.

His Reflection

As I stared at his perfect reflection through the display window

It was like time stood still for what felt like an eternity

I was frozen in the moment

I had a thousand thoughts running through my head,

Appearing in my head and fleeting just as quickly…

“It was never meant to happen like this!”

“Why today of all days?”

As I stood there with my brain running like a Gatwick Express train

My heart started to beat faster and faster until I could hardly hear myself think

I should have walked away then and there but I continued to stare at his perfect reflection

A Funny thing called Closure

I recently put up a blog post called "What Are the Break Up Rules?" talking about a recent situation that had ended. It felt like things happened very quickly and before I knew it was over. Just like it.  I wasn’t ready and I certainly didn’t want it to end but it was over and I had to try and get over it. To be hundred percent honest I am still coming to terms with it being over. 

How Soon is Too Soon?

Let's paint a picture. You have recently started seeing someone and things are going really well but the time is approaching when it can get a little awkward.

Dating App Chronicles Part I

If you remember I previously mentioned that some time last year I thought it was a good idea to join a dating app would be the solution to my so far chaotic and complicated love life (I don’t know why I ever thought that). As you can assume from the title of this post you can guess – it didn’t work out.  

Is the Grass Really Greener?

I have a few friends who are in relationships who always tell me how much they want to be single and I look at them and think why, though? 

Kind of Love

I want that all consuming kind of love,
That deep can't live with each other but can't live without each other kind of love,
Before you think I'm just another clueless romantic who has this unrealistic notion of that kind of love,
Take a moment to just listen to why I crave that kind of love. 

Why Have Rebound Relationship When You Can Have Rebound Shoes?

We've all heard the saying the best way to get over someone old is to get under someone new. As hilarious as I find the wording of that saying I don't think I necessarily agree with it. 

The Dating App Chronicles Back Story

If you guys have been following my blog you will be aware that I decided last year to join a dating app,where I discussed the three types of guys you could potentially meet. Just in case you haven’t got the slightest clue what I am talking about.

The Three Types of Guys You Will Meet on Dating Apps

So last year I had the bright idea that I should join a dating app because well I don’t know why but I thought it would be a good idea.
