Dear Diary No message came through overnight from Mr Not-so-average Jo, so I followed through with my original plan – a light hearted hello. In essence, the message read along the lines of: I hope that you’re well and getting through all the work for your business. I immediately regretted sending the message as I … Continue reading Like a Cat with a Ball of Wool – Entry 58

Dear Diary Before I give you the run down on the speed dating evening I will give you a quick update on the other potentials: No word from ex-work colleague No word from Mr Not-so-average Jo No more sightings of Mr Dashing The day has come and gone without a word from the TV Network … Continue reading Speed Dating – Attempt 2 – Entry 57

Dear Diary So, I decided to take a leap of faith and ‘like’ Mr Spark on the undisclosed dating site.....long pause and no match.....this means one of two things: He selected the ‘dislike’ option (he did technically sentence me to the Friend Zone) He hasn’t been online yet and could potentially select ‘like’ No more … Continue reading Nothing Awkward to See Here People – Entry 56

Dear Diary No word from Mr Not-so-average Jo. He did say that he had a very busy week this week with deadlines and paperwork for his business. I wonder if he will ever contact me again. I don’t know when would be an appropriate time to text him...obviously not this week as he’s busy. Maybe … Continue reading Noisy Silence – Entry 55

Dear Diary Last night I had the third date with Mr Not-so-average Jo. It was a peculiar night in that I don’t know where we now stand. He suggested dancing at a place I hadn’t been to in a long time. I knew he couldn’t dance but felt that with the casual environment it could … Continue reading The Third Date – Entry 54

He sent me poems, told me that he’d never met anyone like me before, and hinted that I may be the one. From memory, this man worked … Continue reading Best Until Last – Entry 53

Dear Diary Well, today was actually all quiet on the Western front. No messages from any stinky boys. Mr Not-so-average Jo hasn’t texted with details like he said he would. Maybe he’s busy? I guess there was one development. One of my colleagues that I worked with for about six or so weeks a little … Continue reading Speed-Dating Flashbacks – Entry 52

Dear Diary As it turns out, the presentation is scheduled for next week - There was a miscommunication - Not impressed. But also it’s okay as at least I’m prepared. Sometimes we have to look on the bright side. I ended up replying to Karate Kid’s message. Rather than confronting him for being a douche … Continue reading Peace Offering – Entry 51

Dear Diary I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently. It’s been a few years since I invested in myself spiritually. I think that’s what’s missing. I need to read more about philosophy, the human psyche and theories on life. I think I’m craving understanding and connection with the world. I’ve been trying to find … Continue reading A Moment to Reflect – Entry 50

Dear Diary I think things are really getting to me this week. I’ve cancelled to two dates (The Musician and The TV Network Guy) that I was meant to have this coming Sunday as I have a presentation to prepare for work. I haven’t met them yet so it is easier to delay a little … Continue reading Breaking Point – Entry 49
