It was a jeans and a nice top type of night, the kind of night that you never have high hopes for so you shave absolutely nowhere, only put tan on your chest, and plan to be back in bed by 12. I was out with one of the girls, a little pink gin catch […]
The absence of Christmas nights out this year has me distraught, many a romantic story have come out of the 12 pubs over the years. There have been many sparkling St. Stephen’s night heartbreaks, and New Year’s Eves desperately wishing I had stayed at home. So, without my mistletoe hairband and with my “Mince pies […]
My phone buzzed at 11pm, as I was in bed halfway through a mini quarter-life crisis. “Hey xx” he said. I thought of my mum at this age, she was married with a baby and had zero fuckboys texting her after dark. I also thought about family members who ask if I have a boyfriend […]
We all have a sore spot in love, the place where “Why wasn’t I good enough?” lives and breathes. No doubt this is a question we’ve all asked ourselves many times before. I know I have, so you’re not alone. The thing is, one girl’s sore spot is a guy another girl just passed in […]
I gazed out of the window behind him, the rain poured, as it did anytime we met up. It always had a sense of foreboding about it, but the feeling didn’t link up with the person sitting in front of me. He wasn’t torrential rain, he was far from it. There was a gentleness about […]
I chugged back half of my pink gin and lemonade as I saw him walking outside. “Oh noooo!” I thought. I had no idea where we stood anymore, we were texting on and off, I was neither over him or under him. Before I had a chance to tell my guardian angel that I still […]
Will we ever solve the mysteries of modern dating? In a world so social that is lacking real communication, a lot of the time we are left to ponder. We have to seek answers outside of the problem, texting the group chat for advice and skipping to page 52 of your latest magazine to find […]
Time to talk social media and all things contemporary love. So, are modern men refusing to commit because they’re always waiting for something better? Is love struggling to stay afloat amongst so many options in our modern world? In the rat race that is modern love, perhaps we’re all just fighting through the noise. Absolutely […]
I heard my name muttered as I rooted through my clutch in the pub queue. I knew that voice, lifting my head to confirm my suspicions, there he was. He stood there confidently before giving me a quick glance up and down. I was wearing a little black dress and red lippy, his cigarette smoke […]
The question on the mind of single women everywhere: Why do so many men boldly assume we are obsessed with them? Can somebody please clear this up for me? At what point through the years did “Hello” translate to booking a wedding venue? Women are supposedly the over thinkers, the ones making assumptions, yet if […]
Here we were again, I looked at him sleeping beside me and thought: “The girls are going to bloody kill me!” I stared at the ceiling as I snuggled back into the middle place. Was I just the middle girl? Would I ever be beside him as everything, or was I doomed to forever be […]
Fate. A short word with an entire universe of meaning. I’ve always been a believer, even when it comes to people. I believe there’s a higher power that guides people into our lives. Do you ever meet people and feel a sense of familiarity? Sometimes we just have a bond we can’t explain, a certain […]
I walked through my bedroom door, flung my bag of chips onto the bed, one high-heel onto the floor, lashes on my bedside locker and proceeded to take off my makeup. The room was still spinning with a pink gin haze, but apart from that everything was fine. I dug my phone out of my […]
Romantic dates are so hyped. We see someone, get that tingly soul feeling and think “Sure let’s drink coffee together and see if we enjoy it!” Do you ever go somewhere though, see a woman who is just passionate, smiley, radiating great energy and wish you could be best friends? I do, allll the time. […]
YOU GOT THIS. I do not say this lightly, you really do. As we enter Level 5 lockdown again, life can feel very overwhelming and isolating. If you’re currently dealing with a heart that feels like it has been completely smooshed by his size 11 Nikes and wondering how you will get through it, my […]
There are some men I wish we could read like the back of a book, but I tend to date the ones who rip out pages mid-chapter to confuse everything. When it comes to relationships, mine often end up being like the trifle that Rachel made in Friends. We’re left drawing question marks, but the […]
