Online Dating for Winners like Me.

So, to say I'm a winner is a bit arrogant for me. I mean, especially for something like this. I met my girlfriend online. I've only been dating Gemma for for a couple months, but things are going really well, so I feel like a winner, so I'm going to let it count.

It's not always been like this for me though. I've been utilising the internet for the whole dating thing since I was about 16. I can explain my experiences of internet dating through one girl, though I dare say I'll mention others after, just because I enjoy typing, and I understand your need to read more of the words I type.

My whole attitude to relationships at the time was that I wanted one. Badly. The sad thing is, at 16, I quite frankly wasn't mature enough for one. All the relationships up to Gemma were all about sex. We might have met for different reasons, but that was the main gist of the relationship.

I met Kelly through a forum about football. We got talking about the team we supported, Sheffield
Wednesday. It's not a very good football team, but it's our home team, and we had that as a common interest. We wound up meeting up. At her house, no less. I cannot say how bad meeting someone at their house is as first "dates" go. Things with Kelly lasted 10 days. It turned out that Sheffield Wednesday was the only thing we had in common. I didn't even particularly like her. But hey, I was young and I got laid.

Not one to be put off by a bad experience, I continued to meet girls online, sometimes in a way that can only be described as actively. I joined a site called Plenty of Fish, which ended with no love for Ryan. I met a couple, but they didn't lead to anything. There was also a website called Teenspot, which is pretty much Facebook for perverts, and it has a chatroom that I met a couple girls from. Again, no major luck, apart from this one girl called Bryony.

Bryony and me was a strange one. It went on for several years, but there was a considerable bit of distance between us, which made things awkward, and she was a paranoid sort. If I mentioned I'd met with friends, she'd assume I'd been sleeping with them, or if I was able to convince her I hadn't slept with them, that I wanted to. I eventually managed to get away from her, because it would have ended in tears for me, and I don't like crying.

Finally, I joined a site called Interpals, where I met two girls. One was Brit, who started me writing on here, the other was Gemma, who I'm dating.

In conclusion, I think the internet is a great tool for dating. It allows those lacking confidence to do it, though I think "dating" someone in a different country to you is rediculous, because let's face it. It's not gonna happen.

  1. I will start tagging posts just for you. I assumed I just fell unconcious after posting and tagged them in my sleep for some reason. The person that did it for me before seemed to be having so much fun doing it for me.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
