Off The Market

When I told my best friend that I was planning to give up dating for a year and go on a ‘sex-battical‘, she raised an eyebrow, laughed, and said she’d happily bet her own mum that I couldn’t do it. That should give you an idea of how much men play a part in my life. Well, I say men, what I mean of course is all the drama surrounding them. All the ridiculous phone-watching, Facebook-checking, Twitter-updating lunacy that takes over your life when you meet a guy you like. I have been single for over two years now and, after almost two years of the aforementioned lunacy, along with some very real heartbreak and more than my fair share of doormat moments, I’ve decided enough is enough. From today until 21^st March 2012, I am off the market. Not dating, not flirting, not interested. To pass the time (and, admittedly, to stop myself falling off the celibate wagon) I’ve decided to blog about my progress. Along the way, I’ll also be tackling some of the reasons why I came to this decision in the first place, and sharing some of the dating highs and lows I’ve experienced over the past 24 months. Some of them are laughable, I guarantee. I promise to be unflinchingly honest (sorry Mum) but also to keep things as amusing as possible. Let’s see if we can’t unravel the mysteries of dating, shall we?!
