This blog will not be ground-breaking.
Welcome to an entirely self-indulgent blog dedicated to finding that perfect nothing-in-particular.
Lost you?
This blog will be about my own personal exploration into the male psyche. Having recently freed myself from the clutches of an emotionally draining, completely un-gratifying relationship with someone I still hold close to my heart (despite him not appearing to actually possess one), I have decided to set myself a little challenge.
It has become clear to me over recent years that I am stuck in somewhat of a pattern when it comes to finding a guy. I always pick the "wrong" one. There are many possible reasons to this which I won't indulge at present, but it isn't an entirely new theory for me, or for many other women i'm sure.
The only way to stop this from happening is to break the cycle, change the pattern and ignore the natural impulses I have that lead to sharing my life/bed/food with an utter douche-bag who couldn't give a monkeys about my feelings, opinions or (can you believe it) choice of sexy lingerie. I have been dating the same selfish man for too long now and it suddenly struck me recently that because of this, I don't really like men that much. Sadface.
So, long story short:
I'm setting myself a challenge to go on ten first dates with different men found in completely different ways. There is no set goal - sex, a friendship or even a relationship would all be nice, but ultimately if I can come away from the experience with a better understanding of men and not be of the opinion that they're all out to put me down, damage my self confidence or destroy my Sunday lie-in by giving me a Dutch Oven, I'll be happy.
I told you this wouldn't be groundbreaking.
