Rain. Yawn
I don’t know about you, but I am officially over this Auckland rain. Fact.
We all know that there’s nothing we can do about it, but it’s the topic of much conversation lately – everyone putting in their 10 cents worth: “Can we get any more rain people?!”…..”Oh Melva look: it’s raining again, what a surprise!”…..”Jaysus wept Shane, I wish it would stop blimmin-well raining”.
'Surfing' the net
It seems more and more people these days are turning on their computer and surfing the net in an effort to find true love. The future of Online Dating is extremely popular and it is growing quicker than wildfire, but is it a curse or is it cupids cure?
Three dates, you might be out
Ah yes. The Third Date. Always a cracker.
It’s the date which either locks in the interest for further investigation/dating; or it’s the red flag which sends you hooning out of the carpark in sheer fear.
Truth be told, I’ve come to dislike The Third Date…
Oh my, you're so funny!
Ah yes, the age old question which can often get you wound up beyond belief…what outfit should I wear on a first date? Furthermore, it’s a blind date – and the thing with blind dates is that you never know exactly what you’re going to get.
Should I dress to impress (first impressions do count), but then again if I put the effort in and he rocks up in his tracky-daks and jandals, then I just know that I’m going to feel like a try-hard.
How Peculiar
I know that when one takes up the challenge of online dating, there’s going to be a little patience required – but I’ve had a few strange experiences lately which have made me realise what a peculiar world online dating is – and just how small Auckland is….
Online Dating: Like a Box of Chocolates
So I’ve been single again for a while now, and know that it’s now time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start mingling in the single circles again. After all it’s probably best to not wait to strike until the iron is hot – but to make it hot by striking…
One method of ‘getting out there’ is through Online Dating – something I’m experienced with and have done a few times in the past. Who hasn’t these days?
The Silly Season
Holy Haka, it’s busy at this time of year aye?
Christmas parties, seasonal catch-up drinks, hangovers, wedding invites, bbqs, summer festivals …crumbs it’s choice.
I’ve had the pleasure of some great dinners out and about Auckland recently including De Fontein, Goode Brothers, Fig & Olive and Mutiara. It’s nice to press pause, relax and spend some quality time with close friends and special people during this silly season and the busy lead up to Christmas.
You had me at hello
Pick- up lines. They can be either good or bad, and they can come when we least expect them. But we need them really. Otherwise we’d all be like wild animals, sniffing around appallingly to see if there is any interest (!)
Here are my Top 5 amusing pick up lines – a couple of which I have been – err, shall I say lucky enough to have been on the receiving end….
