ALEX

Forward two months from May to July after more dates that turned out wrong and usually didn't go past the first date came Alex....

We started talking around end of June, beginning of July and at first we didn't talk much which worried me because I was so used to speaking to the guy everyday I thought he wasn't interested even though he contacted me first.  A week on we made a date for the 18th July to go to the science museum (the second time I have been there for a date).  The day finally came and I was late!!! The train was so slow and it took longer than usual to get to South Kensington but luckily Alex was late too!! We met just outside of the entrance of the station and went to Pauls for lunch!  We sat on this statue thing and talked while we ate! We made our way to the museum and looked around it which was a good conversation starter!    We held hands all around the museum and decided afterwards to go to hyde park and have a lie down on the grass which is nice!!  Before the date ended, he mentioned that he wanted to meet up within the next week as he was going to germany for a week with his family! We met that Wednesday for hot chocolate in covent garden which is nice and then didn't see each other for about two weeks.  While he was away two of the guys that I was already talking to from the website also wanted to meet while knowing I was seeing Alex although still early days so quickly met up with them as friends.

When Alex came back we went to the zoo as I had gotten a job after a long time for looking and we said we were going to be exclusive!   From there we went on lots more fun dates, meals out, talking everyday! In October we saw wicked and I stayed round his for the first time, that month we also became official!!  From there we met each others parents by January, went on a mini trip away at Christmas! Celebrated our first valentines day which was perfect! He planned the whole day to perfection! We went to the shard, went to a painting place and then off to dinner! In Easter half term, we went to Wales with his Parents for 5 days then Bournemouth by ourselves for 3 days. In May half term for his birthday we went to Eastbourne for 3 days which was so nice and relaxing!  We have been to food festivals, comedy nights it has been so good to have someone to talk to and be there for each other!! We have Cyprus coming up in July and our anniversary this year! I am thinking of taking him to Aladdin theatre! :D:D

Here is to a great life together.. hopefully.

BRIGHTON FUN

At the beginning of August I  went to Brighton with one of my closest friends for one night and two days!!  We got a deal off of wowcha where it was £25 each for a one night stay and the hotel turned out to be soo nice! This was the first time I have actually stayed in a hotel ironically! The time's I have been away my family have rented out an apartment or stayed in a family flat!
We left early on Sunday 9th and got to Finsbury Park Station and it wasn't even opened yet! We grabbed a coffee and waited till it was.. and even when it was there was major delays on the Victoria Line and we ended up taking a detour on the Piccadilly to then get back on the Victoria Line. By this time we had missed our train to Brighton which was so annoying because we both had thought we were going to have to pay again for a new ticket!  When we finally arrived at Victoria Station we had to wait about 30ish minutes for the next train to Brighton so we had a look around the station and I grabbed a cookie from Pretz

Once we made it onto the train we settled and did our own thing! It was quite a nice ride seeing the view go by and the different areas we have passed!  We were sat with a little table so there was room for our luggage but then people sat next to us after a while and it got quite squishy haha.

Once we arrived in Brighton we walked straight down from the Station and ended up right next to the hotel coincidentally and it was in such a good location as it was right next to the beach, pier and lanes! We couldn't check in till mid afternoon and it was like 10ish by the time we got there!  We went straight to the beach with our luggage, dragging it along and we sat on two chairs which were available! It was a stony beach which killed with bare feet so we brought some flip flops to wear.
We changed into our bikinis and it was soooo hot! We booked on a good day.. which was by pure chance as we booked in May so we would have never known! I brought my bikini not even thinking I would wear it but I am happy I did!!! :D 
We went in the sea a few times, my friend was so much braver then me, she had a swim and I was moaning it was so cold but managed to get a few pics!  I collected so many stones, shells and pebbles from the beach, one of my favorite pass times! 

Lunch time then arrived and we walked down the pier to see what food places we could try! In the end we ended up having a hot dog and slush puppy which was quite yummy! We looked at some souvenir shops and the Milly wanted to try an oyster but I was wary, the guy who worked in the shop told us about a really good stand so we decided to try some oysters... both first time and it was disgusting LOL.. I put it in my mouth and spat it straight out!! They were £1 so can't feel too bad about it, but all I could taste was the sea water and it was not a good taste!  After we walked some more to see where everything was down both ends of the pier and when we walked back, we went to the hotel to see if our room was ready as we went like 30 mins early!  It was, and the room was so nice, much better than expected!!! :D It was a sea front view which usually you have to pay extra and a single and double bed which was way more than we bargained for!!  Of course being excited we danced and got a bit crazy lol!  After we freshened up a bit, we headed back out (still in our bikinis with clothes on top) and trecked about 30 mins- 1hr to see the beach huts! I am so happy we did that walk even though we thought we were getting lost about 1000 times because they were lush!! Some were even occupied like little houses and was nice view!

We walked back and decided to go onto the Brighton Eye which was really nice but also scary because I hate heights and it was different from London Eye as was less stable.  Still glad I did it though because it was a good experience to have and I would have regretted it, especially as it wasn't too expensive!!!  We saw all the sights around and it was lovely!  After that was finished, we walked back and got some melon for really cheap- I forgot how much it was but they were yummy! We went onto the pier and brought some doughnuts with chocolate dip and they were gooood!!  It was now leading into early evening and after a bit more walking, we decided to eat some fish and chips in a restaurant by the sea and it was actually quite nice as I don't really like cod, but by the seaside it is a MUST!

In the evening we headed back to the hotel got dressed up and went to a bar for a few drinks, this bar had about 100 different flavoured shots and I don't really drink so me and Amelia shared one and I think the flavour was apple? It actually was quite nice ahaha for something I don't really like.  We didn't stay too long headed back then watched some tv and slept!

On the second day, we woke quite early, had breakfast got ready, went down to the pier took a few pictures on the merrygo round and even took a pic bra less.. I was just about brave enough to do it!!! But no pics for you to see cheeky ;).   We then had a second breakfast at a cafe a few stops down from our hotel which was really nice!!  We had a wonder around some of the grounds especially the pavilion, checked out of the hotel and kept our bags there and did some shopping all around Brighton!! On our walks around the lanes, we stopped off at this cafe called Angel cafe which specialised in cupcakes and had a tea and mini cake there! Also on our wonders we saw choccywoccydoda which I loved the show off!!! :D   

We went to a restaurant near our hotel again which served the best food!! From there we collected our bags, and got the train back home! All in all it was such a great trip and want to keep going there which I have!! :P

Yummy dinner

Angel cafe :D

Second breakfast

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??
