When you and the neighbours are a part of eachother's lives

I live in the middle of 2 interesting male neighbours. On the one side I have a recently single 26 year old and on the other a gay couple.

I have seen how my straight neighbour found a girl, got serious and now... go single on his Facebook profile.

My gay neighbours have been dating for about 3 or 4 months. (I must admit that I've probably become closer to them since they have 2 adorable kittens.) They have had their ups and downs, but have worked through it. Today was also a very important day for one of them. The other one is always there - supporting him, even through this.

I sometimes wonder why people can't see how the same gay and lesbian love is. It is a beautiful thing to see people grow so close and support eachother.

A Public Affair - Facebook Dating Status

Going through a breakup is hard, no matter the circumstances, but when it is a public Facebook affair - it becomes a little harder.

The whole changing of the "Facebook Dating Status" was more than just a little traumatic for me. It made the breakup public before I was ready to face it. I fear the worst when things like this are out of my control. I don't want pity emails landing up in my inbox. I'm ok, or will be ok, I'm not quite sure yet.

I guess I'll take time off from dating for now - untill after my holiday in Europe. I think I just need to clear my head and get back to clubbing and hanging out with my friends - for now.

Date 3 - 4... who would have guessed

Who would've guessed that after date 3 I would fall for yet another Irish guy? Definitely not me.

We have now changed our Facebook Dating Status to say "C* is in a relationship with S*" , so, it is official - I can no longer be a serial dater. Do not fear, I will still be writing this blog.

Facebook and the dating application that doesn't want to let go

Ok, a few weeks ago I added the Facebook Yes/No dating application... (this was when I was still single)

I uninstalled the application a week ago, but I still get the notifications saying that "somebody likes you". I don't mind the application having bugs, but this is a BIG BUG according to me.

Facebook dating - Yes or No

3 days into the Facebook dating application experiment and I'm bored.

Why I don't like it:

• The whole Yes or No to a photo exercise gets a bit tedious after a while.


• I've been getting friend requests from these guys.


• Requests are mainly from married men or guys in relationships.


• I just don't feel comfortable with FB strangers scoping me out.

Why people might like it:

• It is free.


• Sooner or later all the single people on Facebook will try it - thus giving you a wider choice


• You are anyway addicted to Facebook...

Facebook ... a dating tool?

The Facebook phenomenan has openend up a whole new way of meeting people and being chatted up online.

Facebook groups:
Facebook has quite a few groups dedicated to the singles and to helping them find someone. These groups range from the normal to outrageous: dating in the city, booty call, bringing sexy back...

Facebook applications:
I have discovered a few dating applications - but have not really signed up to any of the. I have however signed up to "YES or NO", but the gene pool is still a bit small in there - so I'll keep itaround and see what happens.

Random Facebook chat-ups:
I have had quite a few of these random guys seeing my picture on a group list and emailing me. Usually just a short message and a compliment - but hey, who am I to judge?

I will try out the Facebook applications in the meanwhile and dedicate some space and time to this.
