Megan Time!

You may have noticed little hints recently in my blog posts and some of you may have figured out something that has happened in my life. Now this is not a tell all, reveal all the juicy details kind of post because honestly I'm not that kind of person. Yet I feel like I need to mention something on my blog as this is a part of my life and I do like to give little updates on my life. Anyway, here goes. Yes, I have a special someone in my life. I've been seeing him since June and he makes me very happy. I haven't really opened up about it to many people as I'm a private person and sometimes the less people know the better. I'm also a private person and I don't really like talking much about my private life because that's just the thing. It's private. All I can say is he's made me very happy, he's pushed me out of my comfort zone and tried new things. Best of all though, he likes me for me and I like him for him. He's someone I can't imagine...

As someone who has used dating apps in the past, I've picked up a few things along the way about what you should and shouldn't do on them. Granted I'm still single to this day but I've met people previously on dating apps and it started off well. I thought I'd share some useful tips on the dos and don'ts of online dating. Let's get started. Do keep it real Be yourself and share your interests. The important thing when it comes to online dating is to be yourself and don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. Sharing your interests and hobbies may intrigue people to want to talk to you because it shows you care about things and also they might have the same interests as you so you’ve got something to talk about. Plus it’s easier if you just be yourself. Don’t share too much personal info  That goes without saying by keeping it real but don’t share too much personal info. I never share where I work because the last thing you want is someone from a dating app track...

Being single for so many years has its perks but also its downsides too. Being single for so long I do sometimes wonder what it would be like if I did have someone in my life I could be with. Yet, you realise you live on those what ifs because one you're not close to actually finding someone anytime soon but relying on your imaging on what the perfect relationship could be like may end up in disappointment if it actually happens. I've thought about this through my exes. I had a lot of high hopes for them, I hoped it would become something more. I thought if I was eager they might want me and I guess I was wrong.  There was one guy I was seeing about two years ago. It was very spontaneous, instead of the man coming to me. I went to him. I know, there were a lot of red flags for doing this but I was feeling brave and he actually seemed decent. To be fair, he was really sweet. It felt natural talking to him. We just ended up going for a drive and talking. We then went back to his ...

It's honestly one of the worst feelings in the world to be ghosted by someone because most of the time nothing even happened. One day they just stop communicating with you and when you try to reignite the conversation again, you often find yourself being left on read. You hope they'll get in touch with you again but they don't even give you a hello, let alone a reason why they've cut ties with you.  I've been ghosted a couple of times and it honestly sucks because everytime I think things are going well and I get hopeful that the other person might actually like me. Then before I know it they do the disappearing act on me with no explanation. I've been down the route where I've almost been desperate to try to keep them in my life by messaging them again and reigniting the conversation. Most of the time though you soon realise they're not interested from the messages they've sent. There seems to be no future, no possibility of meeting up and the conve...

Honestly, I've been single for many years and of course I've dated guys in the past. In fact this year, I got to experience my first boyfriend which is honestly an achievement because all the guys I dated in the past never wanted anything serious or just kept it very casual to the point where I sometimes question did it even happen? Are they even an ex? Anyway, I got to experience my very first official relationship for five happy months until it came to a sudden end. It sucks but that's life. I'm now constantly being reminded by other people that he wasn't the one for you or you'll find someone better and my personal favourite is there are plenty of fish in the same. I'm just going to say it right now, there's not plenty of fish out there. Majority of the fish want to keep it casual and the rest just completely ignore you and go for the easier targets.  Anyway, I've been single since May and it's got me thinking about whether I should go back to...

February is the month of love. Whether it's the love of someone else such as a partner, family member and a friend or the love of yourself. It's a good time to appreciate what you have in your life. Be grateful to the people that bring joy to your life. Show your appreciation of them by doing something special for them whether it's writing a card/letter sharing how much you appreciate them or giving them a small gift that they would like. Offering a small gesture to show your appreciation of someone who means a lot to you can reignite your love of one another.  Of course, don't forget about the love you have for yourself. Just think there is only one of you and nobody is quite like you. Treat yourself with something you enjoy whether it's food or something you've been wanting for a while. Go for it because life is short. Also learn the art of self-care. Spend at least once a week taking care of yourself whether it's doing something to better your health or j...

I have only ever been on one date in my life and that was a meal then playing in the arcade which was honestly very fun so it may be a little tricky to top but I do have some dream dates that I would love to experience. I thought I may as well share with you my list so if any future partner of mine is reading this will know where to take me or this may give you some ideas for dates to do if you're struggling for ideas. These are just some of my dream dates that I would love to go on.  1. Cinema Date One of my favourite things to do is go to the cinema and I would love to experience an actual cinema date. Most people may not like this date because you have to be quiet but I think it will be a romantic date. Especially if it's a movie you're both excited for. You can share popcorn and a drink together. You do all the typical romantic things like holding hands and resting your heads on each other. I just think it will be a cute thing to do.  2. Theme Park Date I love rollercoa...

Life is most certainly not a fairy tale and if you're hoping to meet your soulmate with love at first sight then I'm sorry to say that you're going to be waiting a very long time. The world has changed a lot and it's becoming more difficult to meet people face to face. Especially after this whole pandemic. That's why you're more likely to meet the love of your life through online dating. Now this can be scary for many especially with the whole stranger danger concept.  Being single for the longest time, I was not sure about online dating. Especially because with apps like Tinder usually people are on there for one thing only and nothing serious. It's a struggle but sometimes you got to give a try because your future partner could be on there. From my experience of online dating and recently going back to online dating, I thought I'd share a list of some points that you may need to consider when going into online dating.  Please note this post may not be ...

I do wonder this from time to time if I'll ever find love. I've never been in love or ever been in an official relationship. It's very confusing because I've experienced several of my firsts. First kiss. First time. I've only ever dated two guys in three years. However, they never were official. I've mentioned that my first experience with a guy ended up me being the other woman which was heart breaking for me because I wanted things to go to the next level but obviously they didn't because he tells me he doesn't want a relationship and then I found out via Facebook that he had a girlfriend for four years. It hurt because it wasn't really serious so it shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did, but it does bother you. Especially when someone tells you that they don't want a relationship with you it makes you wonder why not? This other guy was also nothing serious and had only seen him twice then lockdown happened which meant I couldn't...

Have you ever wondered why you are single because same? I thought I'd make this post just give you all the reasons why I might be single.  So yeah let's get started! 1. I don't know I mean it's simple really, I don't know why I'm single. The amount of times I've wondered why a guy has never looked at me and thought she's the one. The amount of answers I could give to that question would be endless but there's never really a solid answer as to why. It's not like that a guy has said to me I don't want to make you my girlfriend because of your personality or the way you look. I think if any guy actually that did it would break my heart. I'm not saying I'm perfect because I have an endless list of faults but then nobody's perfect. Truth is I don't really know why I'm single. Maybe I've Mr Right has walked straight passed me and I was just blind in that moment to not see him. Who even knows?  2. I was the 'other woman...

Everyone has a secret. Sometimes big. Sometimes small. However big or small the secret is everyone has a secret/ Something that only they know or a select few know. I have many secrets and no this is not a tell all revealing post about every single secret I have. If I did that, I'd have to confront it with several people that may be not aware of those secrets and that might just make things incredibly awkward for me. Trust me my life is already an awkward mess and I don't want it to be any more awkward thank you.  I do want to share one secret I have though, although after this it may not be a secret anymore as anyone reading this will know and some of those people may even be people I know. Come to think of it I have no idea if any of my friends or family actually read my blog. I think I've had a couple say they have but they never really acknowledge it. I suppose it's because this is just a hobby and to be honest the less attention that I get the better for me because...
