Beware... Alcoholic ahead


As you may remember, Chris was my back up date from a couple of weeks ago and dinner was definitely fun!

We went to Steves in Nedlands, ate good food and drank nice wine.

Although a couple of kinda strange things happened on this date, one being that another guy at the bar tried to sit down with me when Chris was getting the drinks and the other I didn't think anything of until a few days later.

Chris was funny, charming, albeit short, but all round nice, but after the first bottle of wine and the food was finished, I was ready to go home. Well not Chris... He was geared up for a big night.  He went and got another bottle of wine, which I only had one glass of as I was driving. But hey maybe he was nervous or hadn't had a night out in a while, either way I hoped for an excuse for his thirst. 

I continued on with the date and thankfully the bar closed at 10.30pm, which was my out to go home.

We continued to exchange texts the following few days, which was nice, other than the fact that he seemed to be going out drinking with a buddy most nights and had a hangover everyday after. This was a little concerning given he was 34! 

I had started thinking about not seeing him again but was left with no other option after a friend pulled out of slidestreet last Sunday and he was the only person who didn't have other plans. Ok bad excuse but we did have a super fun time on the water slide that's for sure!!

The conversation didn't flow so easily on this date, maybe it's because he only had boardies on and I was wearing bathers, but maybe it's because all he had to talk about was how much he had been out drinking and that he needed a girlfriend to slow down his drinking habits.

Hmm ok... So you need a girlfriend to put you under the thumb to help clean up your drinking problem... Well buddy that's not me! 

We went for dinner and a drink (well he had 2 pints to my 1 glass of wine) and that was when I decided that I was not seeing him again!

There's been a couple of texts since then, but again all of his are about getting drunk, which is too much for me so I'm just fading out of it. 

But hey, I guess going on dates with an alcoholic is better than being stood up.

Where The Energy Is At

Lately I've seen a few people I follow and know talking about, on social media, embracing and igniting their feminine energy and feeling a huge shift in their lives by doing this. Which made me curious about my own energy and where it's at... so I got googling and reading because I honestly knew nothing about it. Any one who's read The Secret will actually know what I'm talking about as this all comes from the law of gender... unfortunately before now it didn't interest me. Just to be clear for those who haven't heard of this concept before, I'm not talking about physical or emotional genders or even sexuality, I'm talking about the energy we engage, focus on, hold, play in or however you want to call it. We've all heard of alpha males right? Well that comes from the masculine energy that someone holds. Immediately I realised from reading just one paper on this (I have read many more), that I engage my masculine energy, probably a solid 90% of t

A number with too much meaning

Let's get very real right now and I'll admit I'm uncomfortable writing this... I've been holding off on telling anyone about completing my first 16 week challenge with nutritional cleansing and 8 week F45 challenge because I'm straight out ashamed that I didn't achieve everything I wanted. To the point that I skipped out on having my body scan because I didn't want to know the results, didn't want to know if the kilos I'd gained were muscle or fat, didn't want anyone around me to know the numbers.  I know this may sound ridiculous, but if you've battled with your weight and obsessed about it for years like I have, then you know it's a very slippery slope back to where you began and gaining a couple of kilos is the very scary start. I want to be completely honest right now  because I know I'm not the only one who's done things or may do something like this in the future. I'm not the only one who's weight has gone up and dow

Ego v Romantic Interest

This blog started out as being about my life, everything as a whole, but over time it turned into a dating blog as I had become a serial dater and it was the highlight of my life for a period when I was unhappy in SO many other parts of my life. Like hating my job, spending time with friends to avoid spending time with myself, training at the gym a lot to try and get the body that I thought would make me happy and that I was 'closet eating' by lying to myself about what was going in my mouth. So dating guys and being the judgy mcjudge pants chick that I used to be was amusing and kept me distracted from those other things. I decided that it was time to work on me so 2016 is about me, my health, my dreams and goals, and since the beginning of this year, since moving to Sydney, it would appear from this blog that I wasn't getting amongst the dating scene much because I had been too busy working on me, but to be completely honest, I've dabbled in dating. I went on
