SLEEZEBALL TIMEWASTER

So I cannot believe we are onto the 3rd guy?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?! This one is probably one of the most interesting (don't worry there are others like this.)

Name: Sleezeball timewaster

How long talking to: March 2015- May 2015

When it stopped: End of May

What we talked about: Okay, this guy was slightly older than me, being 28 while I was 21 but even though it was on my mind a lot, I let it go because age shouldn't matter.. should it?  Our conversations were never fully in depth all the time, it was just a casual what we were doing, our families etc, so different to the previous guy!  Sleeze made a lot of "plans" for the future like helping conquer parallel parking for one! Ironically I parked outside his barbers that he owned, I knew he had one in that area but didn't know it was his just a guess... and after he text saying I saw you park how comes you didn't come in and say hi.  I was with my friend at the time and we literally had a screaming meltdown in shopping car park, people were looking and everything, probably one good thing that came out of it aha!  I even spoke to him on the phone for quite a long time which was nice but weird as I hadn't really spoken to a guy before!! When it came to the time to meet, he kept cancelling and saying work took over.. or his phone would break and I would have to go through POF to reach him.


And to end all of that he was an idiot basically LOL I started writing this last Oct then went to Italy and never had any motivation to carry it on. 

In my next post some time soon I will explain the one who made it my BF ALEX <3333

FRIENDZONED GREEK GUY

Sorry for the wait... but still updating on a Thursday so you know, you can't complain! ;)

Name: Friendzoned Greek Guy (FYI becoming hard to think of nickmames, especially when it happened so long ago!)

Time: 1:00

Date: 14th February 2015 (typical aha)

How long talking before meet: We were talking for 2 weeks prior to date, it took me like 6 months to trust online dating because of what happened last time! They were quite long texts that were sent every day!!!  We talked about everything again like the other guy but it was more intense and he would never leave me hanging!! 

Where the date was: We were talking about meeting up after the first week we started talking and agreed on Cafe Rouge near where I lived!! We pretty much talked about meeting up like every day since and how excited we were!!

Good looking: 6/10

What was he like:  Friend zone was sooo nice!! He was polite made good conversation! He paid which I liked! Ironically it was his first date as well so we were both a bit shy!  As it was my first meet with any online guy I was nervous, but he was really easy going and talked a lot! That I wasn't used to because I usually talk 24/7, but it was a nice change!!!

How the date went:  Well for starters he was like an hour late but I knew he was in traffic even after leaving extra early! He even sent a picture and was so annoyed so I didn't hold it against him!!  Overall the date went fine, I felt all we spoke about was what we texted each other and didn't really broaden the subjects! It also felt as if we were just going to be friends and no more but I wasn't 100%.  That night we texted to make another date for the week after, so I could actually see if it was going to go anywhere, but then that Friday he was having family issues so we were going to reschedule and that week after he became very distant.  Two weeks later after still talking but not much, I asked if he wanted to meet again and he said he wanted to focus on himself.

Overall satisfaction: 5/10... bit of a let down for the second date.  I mean I understand having to look after yourself as I had to do that this year but I still made time to date! It was a nice getaway where you don't think about it!

IT STARTS- GUY NUMBER ONE- GARAGE GUY

Sorry I didn't post last week, was so tired after work! Don't actually know what to call these blogs? Something related to the person? I can always change so please suggestions welcome!!!

Decided names will be anonymous so will have to think of their character and match it to then!

Name: Garage guy

How long talking to: July 2014-August 2014

When it stopped: Just before September

What we talked about: We talked every single day, about anything and everything and when it stopped ( will let you know why in next heading I was so surprised!) He was the first guy to message me, he was Greek which was what I really wanted to be honest! Seemed really nice he owned a garage but also worked part time in Sainsburys while building up his business... of course how much can you believe without meeting a guy online aha!  He wasn't the best texter to be honest and he even admitted that but when he was talking we had good convos, about what we liked, didn't like, our beliefs, family, work! We covered most topics and of course because we talked everyday we became more comfortable with each other!

Why it didn't work: Now comes the big reveal about why it didn't work!  So the time had come to meet up after about 4 weeks of talking... we arranged to meet on a Friday at 4 in the town starbucks for a coffee... so public- check, time- check, place- check! All things a go getting nervous but excited to finally put a name to face when behold that evening I get a text from him to say that he had a family emergancy and that he was sorry but couldn't make it and would text after weekend. Fair enough didn't see anything wrong, oh how naive I was! Weekend goes, still no text, gets to Thursday thought I would send a how are you everything good text... no answer so after that I deleted him and never actually heard from him again!

I don't actually know what happened, whether he got scared, or he already had a girlfriend.. we will never know!!!!

So there it is, post one done a bit late but you know what doesn't matter it is still up! The next post might be late again as busy Thursday... maybe Wednesday instead??

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

Hi guys, 

Something a bit different for all of you.. it will be a series of blogs happening once a week, this is just explaining it all so next week it is not just out there....

This is year has been crazy in regards to my love life (if you can even call it that).  That is all due to something called Plenty of Fish (POF for short). Yes. It is a dating website and I know what you are thinking, why would you do that etc etc???   Well some friends persuaded me (forced) to get it earlier in 2014 maybe mid February and I was saying no no no no.. you get the picture.. for months.

It got to May and I thought hmmmm why not, so I made an account (free of course lol not going to pay for one).  Didn't use it till July properly and then I didn't use it till January.  I will tell you what happened in July next week.

Each week I will let you know who I saw ( I saw loads) who I talked to (talked to way more).

It will be under these headings:

MAKING RICE

Heyy, I thought I would do a recipe today with pictures to help you! I have been wanting to do this for aggges but have not had a chance to as i said I wasn't able to download the pictures!! I am so sorry I haven't had a chance to update in so long and I have so much content.  Youtube has got to me I admit....



So the ingredients used are:

1 cup of rice (but this can change to 2 cups etc, depends how many people eating)
1 vegetable or chicken stock cube (2 stock cubes if larger quantity)
1 onion
1/2 Spring onions
A handful of cherry tomatoes
1 pepper
1/2 celery
Vegetable oil to fry onion
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Cinnamon for seasoning (optional)

These are some of the ingredients I used but you can use anything such as mushrooms, sweetcorn, peas, just add them in Step 3 and make sure the mushrooms so add them first with tomatoes so they have longer to cook!


The recipe is:

1) Finely dice the onion  and put them in the frying pan with a little bit of vegetable oil. Fry until soft. Add chopped tomatoes.

2) Meanwhile  while onions are softening chop the rest of you vegetables.

3) Add rest of vegetables to pot once onions are ready, stir and leave for 3 minutes while measuring the rice and boiling the kettle.

4) After 4 minutes add the rice and stir well.  Measure the water and add the stock cube and mix together.

5) Add water to the rice and vegetables stirring. Mix in the salt, pepper and cinnamon to taste and carry on stirring. I used a wooden spoon but some use a normal metal spoon.

6)  I tend to leave it for about 10 minutes on a medium setting; putting the lid on fully. I didn't go far after 10 minutes I would come and stir it so it wouldn't stick to the bottom of the lid.

7)  When the water is absorbed, give it a taste as it might be still underdone so will need more water (not too much) and then let that be absorbed.

8)  You will know it is ready as it will not be hard when you eat it, it will be soft and yummy.

Voila it is ready!!! You can reheat if you want for next day... never had it cold but bet it is nice! I like to add cheese to my rice, it melts and is lovely!!!

Chicken Alfredo made by moi

Okay, I made this recipe a couple of weeks (or was it months?) ago! I will take you through it!!

Ingredients:

Fettuccine (or any other pasta you like)

1 to 2 cups of broccoli florets

1/2 cup of butter

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (I didn't use)

2 cups heavy cream

1/8 garlic powder (again didn't use)

1/8 black pepper

1/4 freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 to 3 cooked chicken breast, diced ( I brought mine fresh and fried it).

METHOD :D

1) I started washing and breaking up the broccoli florets and putting them in some boiling water.

2) I then diced the chicken and put it into a frying pan to cook!

3) I took the broccoli off once it was cooked and then drained it.

4)  Melt butter in the saucepan and add cream, minced garlic and garlic powder

4) I then grated the Parmesan

6) I put on the fettuccine to boil and cook

7) I put the chicken and broccli into the sauce

8)  I then sat down to eat it

I hope you enjoyed this post! I don't usually make food, I just bake most of the time but it was a nice change, especially as I want to be more creative!! It actually tasted quite nice and surprised myself as I can be fussy with food!!!

This was the recipe I used if you don't understand mine! :P http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/chicken-broccoli-alfredo/acc6f2db-a150-4b3e-abbf-4a58c00184cd?p=1
