On the Folly of Faking Interest in Casual Sex

My brother tells me I only chase smooth-talking bad-boys. Goose tells me I obsess over people who don’t reciprocate. And the one really nice, smart guy I dated this year? I ended it because there was no spark.

So what’s the verdict?

I don’t know. But I did take a small step in what (I hope) is the right direction. I went through my phone that morning and deleted the phone numbers of every guy I have a habit of drunken texting.

The result means that my love-life feels chillier than the antarctic with no lifeboat in sight - but at least  I have the fiery passion of Goose and Take2 providing me with plenty of vicarious lover-tainment to fill the winter months ahead! (cue: sympathy and violins!)

Magic: Questions & Evidence

So it’s been a full-on couple of weeks, in which I’ve been pondering a lot of complicated questions. Let me explain, and in doing so, also update you on the happenings of my love life.

The question: How do you know when you’re ready to date again?

2009 was an emotional year for me. Ending a long term relationship, having a rebound fling, then getting my heart truly broken for the first time. All in the space of a few months.

But when 2010 came round and this whole dating experiment began, I truly thought I was ready for something new, potentially serious, and long term. But now I’m forced to ask myself, am I really?
