Well hello fellow Dating Diana's and welcome to my first little blog about my tragic little love life.....
I am a single well educated 30 something lady, never been married, no children and I am told by friends is 'far more attractive than I give myself credit for' I also look far younger than my womanly years...apparently.
"So whats the problem?" I hear you cry...sounds like this dating malarkey should be WELL easy for someone like me? yes.... yes?.... NO!! It is in a word horrific... but to be fair in a highly comedic way, so my little lovelies that is exactly why I have decided to share my experiences with you.
It's been like learning to drive, you spend your whole youth watching people do it and think "that looks well easy" until you give it a go and you're all like "oh okay, mirror,, signal.. Monu..sig.... Mirror.. break..erm Break.. BREAKKKKK" Before you know it you're driving on a pavement the wrong way up the road after attempting a hill start for a roundabout... I digress, we are not here to chat about my shocking driving skills.....
SO let me give you a brief outline of my 'heartbreak' we all have that one who does it better than the rest...
Four years ago I met a boy, I was in my late 20's and was definitely in the folly of youth, I was in fact looking back having THE best time of my life. To be fair until he who shall not be named my experience of the male species had not been exactly great, from guys with slight cocaine issues to boyfriends hiding Bi-Polar problems... I am probably what is described as a 'fixer upper.' I take all the flack, fix them up good and proper for them to leave me for something *cough* someone they believe is better... Got to love them cheaters ay....
So when what I would have described at the time was 'my perfect man' strolls into my life one night I did not believe it. He very very quickly became my dreamy little world, yes I look back now and think you silly silly girl, but hindsight is a gloriously useless gift.
I won't bore you with the ins and outs of my relationship drama's but it is the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life and god people can be exceptionally cowardly, I'm still awaiting karma to come and give him a good swift kicking... for that we shall have to wait and see......
So the "heartbreak" happened (Que dramatic violin music) January 13th he broke up with me over the phone after 4 years and 2 months together, my life changed dramatically over night, I had to give up my flat, the life I thought I was going to lead and most importantly I lost my best friend.
So I gave in to the obligatory excess scoffing of ice-cream, crying like some demented banshee, telling complete strangers whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy??!!!! moaning to my friends about the complete and utter unfairness of it all and did the most stupid thing, attempted to be his best friend still.....
Do me a favour if this ever ever happens to you (which of course I hope is never does) no matter how tempted you are, no matter how much they beg, no matter how much you convince each other you can be friends... you can't.
Do yourself the biggest favour and delete their contact details and block them on facebook. First rule of becoming single...
START BEING A BIT SELFISH AND DO THIS FOR YOU IT'S OKAY!
This year has been a strange year everyone I know that has been in a relationship has split up, and even more so, everyone I speak to just keeps saying " my friend and their boyfriend just broke up."
Maybe we'll look back in many years and call it 'The Curse of 2012'....
Looking on the positive it does mean two great things... all my friends are in the same boat, so none of us are alone in this and if everyone is breaking up surely I cannot be the only singleton my age in this situation. Ladies and gentleman I give you hope!
Now on with the dating game!
Diana... over and out xxx
