"She's Leaving, It's Now Or Never!"

As I mentioned on Twitter some exclusive news about a girl who I'd fancied had left London for good and the cliff hanger if I said goodbye to her or not had flooded my inbox and mentions requesting more info. So here I am giving you a little more insight before I'll explain all in the next blog post.

So after the long summer months of me having this mad crush on this girl I finally decided that I would have the courage to go up to her and ask her out...only to find out she was leaving London for good! When my friends heard they were all shouting "She's Leaving, It's Now Or Never!" ..but did I listen to them??

...so question is did I go to her leaving party when she invited me to say goodbye and did I finally have that courage to come clean and say I've liked her all this time?? You'll soon find out...

Lez Have Some Fun, Okay Lez Not...

Apologies for the lateness of this blog post, due to work I do have to work long unsociable hours. Was all set to blog yesterday (Sunday) as I mentioned on Twitter till I could not sign in AT ALL – finally the administrator got round to resetting my password to my email account this morning and ta da here I am! I have missed blogging.

I was that type of girl who loved her BlackBerry and was always on it (not too extreme though!) Anyways this summer I got myself an iPhone, fancied a change. Since then my popularity with Apple fans has gone up ahaha. Seeing my friends are also iPhone fanatics they're always suggesting 'get this app, get that app', now I have these ridiculous apps which I know I'm never going to use but makes my iPhone 'appear busy'.

Couple weeks ago whilst having the usual ritual of dinner and drinks and lots of chatting with friends, the topic about my single life came up. I don't know why in a space of couple of days of last seeing them they think my love life had miraculously changed. So lately my friends keep saying the same thing “you've just got put yourself out there” and they are right. Trying to balance my work and social life I'll be honest and say it's been hard putting my self out there due to the fact I actually don't know many lesbians. In all honesty I have many gay male friends and one lesbian friend. Yes you read right, one lesbian friend. Anyways during dinner my friend took my iPhone and went “you know there is a lesbian version of grindr, called "el" - for those who are unaware grindr is an app for gay/bi men to chat and well you can imagine. I laughed, how did he know that and I didn't?! Anyways after much laughing and debating that I made clear he should not sign me up, he signed me up!

"Try it out" they said, so I did. Sooo what did I think of 'el'?? Hmmm first off I did not like these straight couples messaging me wanting to know all sorts about myself and asking if I was up for their 'arrangement'. Don't they have personal ads for these things like in the paper?! Then came these girls who barely wore anything in their pictures and was like “heyyyaaa babes up for some fun?”, deary me think I got myself into some kind of lesbian underground soft porn cult. There was only one girl who was actually seemed okay and did tell me the ins and outs of 'el'. In the end after a week of having the app I deleted it, it just wasn't for me...and to be honest don't think I have wanted to meet someone from there.

So yes the single life continues but stay tuned there are a few updates I'll be telling you about this week.

What Makes A Good Relationship?

The other day one of closest male gay friends officially announced he was now in a committed relationship. I was very happy for him obviously because he's my friend but also the guy he's now in a relationship with has become a good friend of mine for a long while, so the two them of them together makes me very happy.

Relationships can be a funny thing though, the way some people regard it and act in the beginning makes me wonder. I know everyone is different but it has got me thinking what makes a good relationship? Lately friends and people I know have gotten into relationships by being with each other none stop for about seven months before having 'that' conversation. I don't know about you but being two peas in a pod isn't ideal for me, I have this thing about balance. I don't think relationships are about being with your other half all the time. Personally a healthy relationship should be where you get to do your own thing, your partner does her own thing, you guys spend time together in the day/night, you ring her when you've got a break from work, she texts when she gets a chance whilst working, you spend time with your friends, she spends time with her friends, you guys hang out together with mutual friends...etc etc.

Clearly I must be doing something wrong because out of my friends I'm still the one who is single, those who do the opposite end up in happy long term relationships. Is it luck? Or am I not in the right place at the right time?
