Serial Dating Blunders (continued)
Scenario 9: Mr Nerd Alert
I feel pretty bad about this one… but I couldn’t make myself sit down at a table with a guy that wears a check shirt with a tie and a pee-pot hairstyle.
I just walked past and never contacted him again.
Scenario 10: Mr Mentally Unstable aka Mr Co-worker
Read the Dating Diaries, Mr Co-worker. This is a real gem of a story.
After 2 years of saying no to dates with this guy and using the excuse that I don’t date co-workers, I resigned from the company. On my final day I went ‘round saying goodbye to everyone including this guy.
Apparently when I was out of earshot, Mr Co-worker told everyone what a bitch I am and that he was glad that I am gone.
The weird thing is, he send me a sms asking me out for coffee and he phoned me to ask me out on a date the weekend after I left the company. I’m just glad I didn’t accept this psycho’s invites.
Scenario 11: Mr Doesn’t Get The Message aka Mr Co-worker
Read the Dating Diaries, Mr Co-worker – sorry, but this guy gave me a lot of material to write about!
This guy asked out every girl in one of my previous companies. If a girl says no… he’ll ask out the next one. If everyone says no, he would start again at the beginning.
He would take a simple greeting and think that is a come-on to ask you out.

Date 16: The Coffee Date (English guy)
Apparently I am the first girl he met off the internet but I won’t be the last one to find him a bit rude.
Why? He kept on checking out the cricket score. I know that I can hold down a conversation, but this was me against the score.
The Explanation:
Nice one asking a girl out for coffee and then watching cricket. All attention on the girl buddy. Thanks.
The Verdict
No.

Date 17: The Drink-A-Jerkoff (English guy)
I seem to attract weirdos. Lots of them.
He got the compliments part right. As the night progressed Mr got turned on and thought that he could share that piece of information with me. Then he really stuck his foot in it by asking me if I would be willing to touch him. It got worse… when I declined “his generous offer”, he ased if he could jerk-off so we could continue the date.
The Explanation:
Guys, unless you know that a girl is the type to just do it with anyone – don’t share. Women are not there for your sexual pleasure. You will treat us with the utmost respect.
The Verdict
No. No. No. No. No. No. No…

When Mr Right is not all that right for you
Girl, listen up.
No man should ever lift a hand to a woman. If he does that – he is not a man. We call that a low-life bastard. Get the hell out of a relationship where you aren’t treated with respect. Where you have to cover up bruises and scars.
He won’t change – EVER. When a man hits a woman once, chances are a 100% that he will do it again – even if he apologises and promises to never do it again.
The second Mr Not-so-right scenario is just as bad, its emotional and devastating. Verbal and or psychological abuse. This is probably the most devastating form of abuse as it leaves scars where nobody can see.
If you are in a relationship where he makes you feel small and insignificant, it definitely means that you should get out.

Lets talk about you, the temptress, the no strings girl
Interesting subject. Mmm. I should maybe have added the heading as “The Orgasm Kicks Him Out Of Bed Syndrome”, but it might have looked like a really “dirty” book!
You want a man in your life – but not to date. You want him as a guy you can call with one request no matter what the time or day. Lets just say it – Its all about sex.
Why girls just do it with Mr Right-for-now
She’s lonely, sexually frustrated and open about it. She wants it and not him. She wants to orgasm and let go. She wants to cuddle and be kissed. She wants the companionship for a moment – but not long enough to have anything meaningful.
Where do girls meet men that are willing to service them?
Online, at clubs or even an old friend. Guys are easy and reckless. So if you really have to – just be safe.
Why girls could get hurt when it is all she wants
As a woman, no matter how much you try to deny it, you tend to get a little emotionally involved with people you have a long-term fling or sexual relationship with. That’s just how we were made.

Dating someone that you have to maintain a working relationship with
As much as I want to say that it is a bad idea to date someone that works with you or that has an affiliation to your office, I can’t.
The work environent is a great place to meet guys. Here you get to know more about them and they usually don’t try to impress you – so its more real. If you really think a guy is the one, take it slow and keep it on the low down at the office. You don’t want to be seen as the office flirt.
Unfortunately, if you do decide to take the plunge and get to know a guy from work better and it doesn’t work out… this is where it can really become very uncomfortable…

Date 13: The Quiet One
A quick drink at a local Keg is just the thing to be able to realx and have a nice little conversation with a complete stranger you meet off the internet - right? WRONG! I tried the normal chit chat - it didn't work. Then I tried the obligatory... what do you do when you're not at work - that didn't work. Then I tried to finish my drink and get out of there pronto!
The Explanation
The best part of meeting new people this often is that you know exactly what you want... and don't want.
The Verdict
Maybe like never!

Date 12: The Coffee Date (English Guy)
Met Mr Coffee Date after work for a quick... coffee. I felt uncomfortable the whole 20 minutes. Things just didn't click - we had nothing in common that we felt comfortable exploring
The Explanation:
Dates where no talking occurs are usually not all that great.
The Vedict:
This was a absolute disaster (according to me).

HOW TO GET OVER YOUR EX (part 1)
I’m not a professional, just a girl that had to heal my little broken heart a few lot of times. I can only give you my recipes for healing and hope that one will work for you.
You can do it!
Men are bastards. Plain and simple.
Yes, we love having them around – but we don’t need them. We, as women, are women enough to look after ourselves.
Say this out loud: I don’t need a man. I deserve to be treated with respect and love. No man is worth tears and heartache.
Put him in a box and close the lid!
At this stage you don’t want to throw anything away. You are probably half angry, half hurt and emotional.
Grab a box. Chuck all your little mementos that you have lying around your house, into that box. Place the box at the back of your cupboard or give it to a friend or family to keep until you are ready to open it again.

When a man is not man enough for you
When your friends and family warns you that a guy is not your type – usually thay are right.
I had to date a guy for 3 years to finally realise that I couldn’t stand him!
My “unmanly man” had these symptoms
• Fear of commitment
• Self-image issues
• Indecisiveness
• Whining was encourage above finding a solution
When you should realise it is enough (and walk out)
• When he can’t propose after 3 years.
• When he can’t buy a house or car because he can’t decide… for two years.
• When he says… you will be on the photograph with me – even if you are my floozy.
• When he yells at you and refuses to go for couples counselling.

The 101 on guys - continued
Mr Facial Hair
This might be just me – maybe I’m the strange one. I cannot ever date a guy with facial hair. It completely freaks me out. Stubble is ok – even sexy – a bushy mustache or beard is disgusting!
Mr Playboy/Smooth Operator
This guy will break your heart. Unfortunately, we all love a bad boy. He knows how to smooth talk his way into your head. He is ruthless when trying to acquire his next victim.
Mr Borderline Stalker
He asks you out – repeatedly. Walking past him and nodding a greeting is considered a come-on.

Why women have it easier online (than men)
It is definitely easier for women to meet men online.
Women online have it so much easier than men, as they can just publish a pretty pic on a dating website and voila... the fans and emails fill up their inboxes.
The poor guys on the other hand, have to email and do the woo-ing and hopefully get a reply.
I have to admit that I'm strict on the criteria I set... if he is too old, has facial hair (stubble is ok) or looks like a komodo dragon - I'm sorry, but NO - and I hit that block button!
I'm suspecting that men far outnumber women online. I wonder why.

When you have too little time (to date all the guys and look like a million dollars)
Being a career girl and all I sometimes feel that dating is more of a schlep than anything else.
I know I rarely touch up my make-up or hair if a date is after work - coz you know what... if you don't like me after a long day you won't like me after I've woken up. So sod off! I'm so not a prima donna with a face that consists of mainly make-up... So deal with it.
Dating days?
Monday - mmm I'd rather not
Tuesday - available for dates
Wednesday - I dunno hey, went out last night
Thursday - ok
Dating on a Friday is a no-no as this is my official friends night out.
Saturday - maybe
Sunday - no

Why some people have success on a dating website
Take note if you aren't open to the experience of meeting new fiends and maybe the person of your dreams... you will have wasted your subscription money on a dating website.
To trust the online dating culture - or not?
My opinion? I would much rather email a person and maybe after a long, long, long while meet them.
Why? I guess I really hate that any guy can look me up and down and undress me with his eyes! At least online I can control what they see or get to know.
I will never apologise for loving my life and friends that I have online.
Online vs Real World life
In real live and online:
- you will meet nice people and then the not so nice people
- you could meet lunatics and stalkers
- the person of you dreams
Real World:
- you can hide your physical address
- or move house as much as possible
- but not your physical appearance
- or personality
- you'll only meet people where you are physically present
Online:
- you can hide your email address
- or open a new account
- you can hide your physical appearance
- have as many personas as you wish - or just one...
- you could meet people from right around the world
