Melbourne Dating Stories

We went on our first date 2 years ago. I remember being infatuated by her. She was a stunner. But she didn’t feel the same about me. I came across our old messages on Kik and managed to reignite a conversation. Within a week she had agreed to meet me for a second first date. 

We met in the city at Bartronica, played some computer games, drank cider and the banter was free flowing. Off to a great start. She’s the kind of girl looking for a Female Led Relationship. If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a relationship where the woman wears the pants. Officially. So I’d be signing up to be voluntarily whipped, but hey - I’m no stranger to the alternative life.

Bartonica is a great bar. Everything from arcade games to Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo. We finished up playing a bit of Donkey Kong and headed to Stalactites to get some late night food. Along with a side of chips came my insecurity and alcohol was doing nothing to stop my oversharing. 

Lesson learned: Telling a girl they’re out of your league isn’t cute. 

I’m a 27 (at the time of writing) year old male from Melbourne, Australia who is perpetually single. I’ve been on over 200 dates (I think), have had over 2,500 matches on Tinder, yet I can’t seem to meet ‘the one’.

I’m told I’m attractive, and mum thinks I’m a catch, so I’m obviously falling over somewhere. This is how I’m planning to document my journey, hopefully make a few discoveries, but in reality learn nothing and keep fumbling around on dates until I fluke the right person, at which point this blog will cease to exist.
