So being single on valentines day was just like being single every other day of the year, apart from the fact i had to put up with hearing all the single people I know moan about being single. Im loving being single at the moment. I can eye guys up, flirt with guys (customers in work when their girlfriends are there) oh I am becoming a right little devil.
I'v been chatting to another guy on POF. He seemed nice. Even if his chat had started getting a bit on the dirty side. But that only happened at night, during the day we could be chatting about all random things, as soon as the sun sets hes straight out taking about his cock and where he wants to put it. But thats just a typical guy? Right? Only some are just a bit more vocal about it than others.
We had organised to go out the day after valentines day, but he text me on val day to see if I was busy that evening. I didnt have plans so he asked me if I fancied going round to his and get a take away and watch a dvd. In my head I was thinking pahaha no chance! But I found myself messaging him asking him for his address!
I think I will leave that story there but if i'm feeling brave I might share the rest ;)

Lets try a Tinder date
As it turns out, there is more than just Plenty of Fish. There is a mobile App called Tinder. You put on photos of yourself and other users can "like" your photo. If you get a mutual match it lets you know and you can start chatting to eachother.
I "met" this lovely guy on Tinder. We shall call this one Barry. Hes 34, 6ft, hes a plumber and he lives 2mins away from me. His pic was lovely and eventhough the pic was him and his wee girl which completly goes against my number 1 dating rule, I decided to give him a chance.
We got chatting and we instantly hit it off. He was getting my humour and we were just having a laugh. He told me his full name so I went onto facebook to have a nosey. I could only see the same two photos as were on his tinder account but I didnt think anything of it. It was also clear from his facebook who the mother of his child is. So being the nosey person that I am obviously I had a look, like anyone would do. She was not what I expected. She looked a bit rough and perhaps a bit on the chavvy side but it wasnt her I was potentionally going to date.
So out chat continued for the next few days. He wrote very well, no text talk and punctuation all in the correct place. Woohoo someone well educated for once!
He finally asked me out on a date. We were going out the friday night. I couldnt wait. But being the dating disaster that I am I was just waiting on something happening.
Friday morning came... "Im really sorry, I have to watch the wee one tonight as my ex isn't well." Well I was fuming. And that is why I do not date guys with kids!
I was all ready for a night out that night. So I decided to go out with friends instead. Later on when I text him to say I was completly fine with him cancelling which I was totally not fine with, I said I was still going out. As soon as I mentioned going out with friends he said he could get someone else to watch his daughter. I told him not to bother as I had already made other plans.
So I was out having a drink with people from work when he messaged me asking if I needed a lift home. I wasnt ready to leave yet but fuck it I was getting to finally meet this really nice guy... Plus getting a free taxi home ;)
So I left the pub and right enough, there was his works van just pulled up. Without even looking in the van first I just jumped in. I turned round to look at what was my prince charming.... Who I was greated by was a face iv not been able to get out my head since that night..... The face of a wrinkly old junkie looking short arse!!!!!!
Words cannot decribe how much I wanted to die in those few seconds!
You could tell it was the same guy as the photos i had seen but he looked waaaaay older than 34 and he was certainly not 6ft. You know its bad when I could tell that from him sitting down. He also spoke like an absolute junkie and just looked disgusting. He started driving and I was clinging onto my handbag wondering if my face was going to be all over the news the next day because I had gone missing or my body had been found. All these thoughts going through my head within the time it had taken me to put my seatbelt on. I tried not to make conversation and not to look interested at all, I had already given this dirty old man the wrong impression by getting in his van.
When it came to dropping me off at home, I didnt want him knowing where I live. He already knew which area so there was no chance of lying about that. So I said it was a few street away from where I actually live. After all I didnt want him knowing which house is mine, but at the same time I didnt want too far to have to walk/run once I had gotten out of his wee scabby van.
So we pulled up outside "my house" and he turned to face me. I knew that face, that was the face of a man whos about to make a move! I had to hurry the fuck out of there, so I opened the door and got out and said "thanks I'll text you tomorrow" his face was sheer disappointment, well im guessing thats what it was saying under all the saggy skin and wrinkles.
I was slowly walking along the pavement hoping he would drive away pretty soon otherwise I was going to have to walk into someone elses garden pretending it was mine. Luckily he did drive away, so off came the shoes and away running along the road I went.
By the time I was home I already had a message from him. It read "I'm gutted I had to cancel on you tonight. You are absolutly stunning!". I wanted to write back saying "and your not stunning to bugger off!" But I didnt bother, I just blocked his number. And that was the end of Barry!

More non starters
I have another couple of admirers to add to my list...
A girl from work said a guy comes in every week looking for me. He's liked me for a while apparently, but I thought she was talking complete bullshit. Turns out its her brother Shaun. Hes same age as me, very into his football (cringe) and he just needs a nice girl to go out with.
I seen him a few days later, hes nothing special. I've seen him a few time, damn does that guy ever smile!?! I need a guy with a good sence of humour, not someone who looks asthough they have a face like a smacked arse. Anyway maybe if he had someone like me in his like it would cheer him the fuck up?
Haha well thats not happening either! Not when he has a few kids on tow! First rule of dating... No dating guys with children!!!
The other guy who has taken a wee fancy to me, Garry, is the cousin of one of my friends. My friend is getting married soon and hes even asked for the seating plan to be changed so he can sit beside me. Now any girl would find that flattering, but not when you are also friends with his ex-fiance!
Yet another non starter.
First POF date
Well, would you like to hear about my first actual date since becoming a single lady.
I got chatting to a guy on Plenty of Fish, lets call him Mike. His chat wasn't the best but atleast I was able to get a conversation out of someone for a change. After speaking online for a few days he asked me to add him on facebook. Atleast on facebook you can get to know a person a bit more, have a good snoop around their photos and most of all see if we have any friends in common. We did indeed have a few friends in common. Turns out I'd previously dated a few of his friends, they were a laugh so if he was anything like them then I wouldnt have much to complain about.
So perhaps a week or so later we went out for our date. I was feeling a bit nervous as I hadn't been out with someone new in two years. So I got to our meeting place in town, and I couldnt see him anywhere. So like anyone would to save them looking like a lost puppy I took out my mobile and pretended to look at that as I was scowering the surroundings seeing if there was anyone that could be him. I seen one guy sitting down on a bench, hunched over his phone with his face engrossed in it. I wouldn't have thought that was him as surely he would have been keeping an eye out for me. So after a few minutes of wondering where the fuck this guy was, I started wondering around a bit. There was still only that one guy sitting on the bench, still not paying attention to anything else apart from his phone, then all of a sudden there was sign of life, he looked up and I was like "fuck sake that is him!" I really didnt fancy him from the second I seen him. Anyway I walked over to where he was sitting and he didnt move. The closer I got the more I was like "ah I wish I'd cancelled now". From that second I decided I didnt really want to be there.
But i'm not a rude or obnoxious girl so I continued with the "date". He suggested going to Nandos. I like Nandos but come on a girl needs to be inpressed on a first date. So we went in, got a table straight away, then he says he has never been before so I had to explain the bloody menu to him! Have you ever had to explain a Nandos menu to someone? Someone whos maybe not got as many braincells as you were hoping they would have. Two words... Fuck sake!
So after finally getting out food ordered he grudgingly paid for it. Bit of advice for all the men out there, don't look at the receipt infront of a girl and make a big deal about her meal costing more than yours. Especially if its £1.
So we were sitting at the table, after ordering our nice "romantic" meal and he was acting all weird. Saying he was freezing when the place was about 100degrees, and he was pulling his sleeves over his hands and rubbing his hands together. He was hunched over his phone again and i was thinking to myself "that boy has a terrible posture". I shouldnt be thinking shit like that on a date, i should be thinking other stuff, good stuff.
So after trying to make conversation with him and his phone (they seem to come as a pair) our food arrived at the table. I must point out that I in no way am a shallow person, but when you dont expect to see someone with slight deformeties to their limbs you cant help but get a bit of a fright, which I did.
Anyway whilst we were eating we were having some awkward chat aswell. One thing I absolutly cannot stand is people talking with food in their mouths. This guy took it to a whole new level. He took the food out his mouth to talk! Only if he hadn't chewed it yet, or just chewed it once. I actually wanted to vom! At that moment I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I barely eat any of my food because I found him so off putting. So he brought up again how much money he had spent and how much I was wasting. If he wasnt so disgusting I could have finished my meal no problem.
We skipped desert too, thank god. Can you imagine the mess he would have made with cake or ice cream!!!
Now, it was 7.10pm and we met at 6.30pm. I was ready for going home. But no, he decided it would be a great idea to go bowling too. We went into the bowling alley and they had bookings so only had space for us for one game (thank fuck) and seen as i'm not one for letting guys spend all their money on me I took my purse out. And he stood back and said "your getting the bowling". How fucking rude! No wonder the guys single if thats how he treats his dates. Anyway we started our bowling, he didnt bother getting drinks or anything, quite glad of that because I was rushing through my turns as I just wanted the night to end. Am I really bad that I was kind of laughing at the fact he wanted to go bowling eventhough he couldnt lift the bowling ball, never mind bowl properly? Bad bad Daisy!
He messaged me the next day saying he would love to see me again.... Yeh that was the end of Mike.

Admirer No.1
So, needing a little ego boost I opened up a Plenty of Fish account. I had been on there before, had quite a few dates before I started going out with the ex. Thats how I ment him too.
Wow you can tell why some guys are on there! They have no decent chat. And their photos, oh my. Am I the only girl to be completely repulsed by men wearing football shirts? They do men absolutly no favours, especially if the have the protruding beer belly hanging over their trousers and you can see where their belly button is supposed to be. And stop taking pictures with your tongues hanging out your mouths too, its disgusting!
If you are lucky enough to get a message from someone which says more than "hey bbz, hows you?" And assuming the photos don't show a football shirt wearing tongue sticker outerer then you might be onto a winner ;)
When making my "Dating profile" I purposely did not put my name on it, and certainly did not put down where I work. I know I can be daft but i'm certainly not going to advertise to a whole load of creeps and pervy sex pests where they can find me on a day to day basis. So when I opened a message day to find it started with "Hi Daisy" I got a bit of a fright. He went on to say we work in the same place and he wanted to get to know me better, he sent me his email address and mobile phone number. He wants us to go out for coffee and a blether and take his dog for long walks.
You can't just presume a girl wants to go out with you, surely you would chat to her first and see if she might be interested before bombarding her with ways to get intouch with you. Im surprised missed of pigeon mail off his list of numbers and addresses.
Anyway I have seen this guy in work, lets call him Connor, and wow talk about being awkward! Hence the reason you should see if someones interested first. I do my best to avoid him, but I still managed to run face first into him lastweek. I must point out if he was a tall, dark, handsome, muscly Channing Tatum lookalike I would have been right in there. Instead hes just a skinny, weedy, pale dweeb. And very geeky, certainly not my cup of tea...

Xmas 2013 - The Beginning
Hello world.
I'm Daisy. I thought I would start up a blog to share stories of my life with the world. But stories have got to be interesting right? Or funny. Well you will find all that here.
Lets start with a bit about me. I'm a 26 year old female from Edinburgh. Young free and single may I add ;). But I've not been single for long, oh no. My now ex-boyfriend and I had been together for nearly two years. We had spoke about marriage and kids and had looked at buying a house. Life couldn't have been more prefect.
Although he had an obscene obsession with cars and motorbikes I was willing to let that slide as he did not like football and rarely drank. To find a man who doesnt like football is an achievement in itself, but one who doesnt like beer either... Score!!!
Anyway after being together for nearly two years, overcoming many weeks and months of time apart, due to him being in the armed forces, being away on course down south, in Kenya and even being posted in Afghanistan for 6months, I didnt think there was much else that could keep us apart. Well thats what I thought.
We were spending our second christmas together. We were driving through to his parents house in Glasgow which is something we offen done. But this time his mate was in the car too. You know what guys are like when their mates are around... He started driving like an absolute dick, speeding and deciding then it was a good time for him to get his mobile phone out and start looking at facebook or some shit like that. Anyway I sat in the back of the car just keeping quiet as I didnt want to look like the complaining girlfriend having a go at him. I knew this was very ourt of character for him.
Looking back on the day I can see he was very distant, but at the time I didnt want to admit to myself that there was anything wrong. Anyway the rest of the day was so so. I slept in the car on the way back because he was chatting to his pal in the front and I was just getting ignored.
And then.... The next day... Two days after xmas... He decided that without talking to me or anything he was going to dump me. Now for anyone whos been in a long term relationship and has maybe fallen out of love, or just dont feel the same way as they have previously felt, or any other shit excuse for breaking up with someone, how would you break up? Send a text saying "we need to talk" or "can i come round to chat tonight?" Those are what semi normal people would do. Hahaha but not my fucking coward of an ex. He used Facebook! Fucking Facebook private mail! How can you go out with someone for two years, plan your whole lifes together then one day decide you've had enough and dump them via fucking Facebook. I thought i'd had enough drama in my life but this took the absolute biscuit. So that was the end of him, and a complete waste of the last two years of my life.
I made sure I told everyone what happened so I'd never be daft enough to take him back if he came back crawling after realising he had let go of the best thing to have ever happened to him.
As that happened just after christmas, that ment only one thing... New year was just around the corner and that ment the start of a new year and a new me! Let the (internet) dating commence!!!
