What’s in a name? Everything.

I met someone at the weekend. We’d matched on Tinder last week, got talking, made plans to meet. After four days of all day texting, one night mid reply, he calls me. I thought it was an accident but no, there’s something he needs to tell me. My smile froze on my face and words... Continue Reading →

The return of Tom

I’ve written about this before, but it’s really spooky the way men from my past come out of the woodwork within days of becoming single. The Serbian fuck buddy who relishes my experience.

Never have I ever

Maybe because it's overcast and drizzling rain but my mood is all bad teenage poetry today.

We’ve shared a bed but never a meal.We’ve exchanged messages... Continue Reading →
