The Dating Dilemma

Today I deleted my dating profiles.

To bring this blog up to speed, it's been a year and a half since I last wrote a post; seeing as I dated 2 people last year it kind of fell by the wayside somewhat (being a blog about being single, after all!)

After the last relationship ended rather spectacularly (cue being dumped by text - you'd think the guy was nearer 17 than 47!) I took a little bit of a time-out, but over the last 6 months or so I've been back on (ok, I'll be honest here, a few) dating sites hoping to find a bit of romance.

Cue tonight.  I am sitting watching CrazyHead on Netflix.

Nothing wrong with that I hear you cry - except for the fact that I matched with a guy on one of these sites and had discussed meeting up tonight.  I have chosen not to go on a date, with a cute guy who knows the difference between your and you're, to watch a TV series on a streaming site that I could watch at any time!

To be fair it's a bloody good program. 

But that's the thing; I've been down this road before - chatted to someone and backed out of a date, stopped chatting or whatever.  I guess this is a confession of sorts - I've been guilty of 'ghosting'.  Eesh.

So today I've taken the decision to delete my dating profiles and start this blog up again.  My university course is due to start up again soon, and with the obvious inability to mentally commit to dating it seems like the right thing to do.

So here's to embracing single life again!

Let's roll!
