Sometimes we try our hardest to make things work, sometimes we get our feelings hurt in the middle but work it out. And sometimes things arrive to a full stop. What a wonderful friendship it could have been if it hadn’t ended. But it did. There aren’t enough words to make justice to the wonderful moments we had together, the laughs and adventures. I only know that I will miss him, cherish every moment we spent together and forever consider him a friend. I wish him the best. I wish him to be happy ..read more

First date: lockdown has many downsides but I must admit that thanks to it I had a pretty fun and genuinely innocent first date. We met online on a dating app. He seemed interesting so we decided to meet in person. Due to the lockdown we decided to meet outside at the park and walk. In my hometown the new lockdown restrictions were that at 6pm you had to be home. So, we met up at 4pm. He was late and I was annoyed. I was so close to cancelling but for some random reason I didn’t. Maybe it was this crazy lockdown boredom or maybe because he was interesting and so so cute, or maybe all of the a ..read more

The universe has a weird way of working. The last post I wrote that I had realized I was more of a Monica instead of a Rachel and that I wanted to meet my Chandler. Surprise future me: you will meet a Chandler, but a fake one. Get ready for a three week rollercoaster love story. We met on an app, because why not? He asked me what I was doing, I said drinking a coffee. He said I want some. I said come here. All in good fun when suddenly he said: I could go. You could come, I said. He came. Three days later he left. It was the longest first date ever. We were obsessed with each other, couldn’t ..read more

One day I was bored, as it happens when in lockdown. I decided to go on Tinder, to have some fun, talk to people, when suddenly, I met someone. He was this tall brown eye man with a lesbian ex who he had a boy with. The ex wife actually left him because she realized she was a lesbian and fell in love with a woman. In other words, I met Ross. #FriendsAddict He was funny and the conversation was fluent, finally a guy I could have fun conversations with! We moved on to whatsapp. Days went by and we kept talking non-stop all day everyday. We talked about life, about funny stories from our past (I ..read more

He lived in a different city, so the plan was to get to know each other while I showed him my city. Let’s rewind a bit. His name was Mat and we met through an app. However, it wasn’t the typical “app situation” because we didn’t spend days and days talking. We talked the first day and went straight to whatsapp. There was something about him... The second day we spent the whole afternoon talking on the phone. He was so interesting! He had lived 10 years with tribes in India! The stories he told me fascinated me. My OCD was making me believe love was in the air, because who else can exaggerate ..read more

I have a friend, called Hannah, who has a very good friend called Mathew. Hanna and Matt are very good friends, they spend a lot of time together. He helped her move into her new house, they see each other at least once a week, they message each other every single day… you get the idea. We all think something is going on, but they say they are just friends. The other day a group of us met for dinner. Hannah and Matt came as well. We had a lot of fun and ate really good food. After the dinner, I was talking with my friend Lucy and she said the following sentence “They are going to be the last ..read more

As time goes by you get to know the real person and realize that all the qualities you gave to them are or are not true. With Mellow, that is what happened. At first I thought he was ideal for “friends with benefit” type of thing, then I had a moment where I thought he was boyfriend material. And as I got to know him more, I realized what an amazing person he is, but he is not the one for me. That is not because he did something wrong, no, not at all. I got to see his true self, and I realized I love his personality and way of being, but as friends. I didn’t quite understand this before meeti ..read more

“We need to talk” he said while rolling a cigarette. But what I was expecting did not happen. Half of me thought he was going to say this is the end of our friends with benefit thing. The other half of me was hoping he was going to say he was enjoying spending time with me. I was probably daydreaming way too much on that second one. But oh well, none of that happened, well actually all of that happened. “I love spending time with you but I am currently going through some stuff so I don’t feel ready to date. But I don’t want to stop spending time with you. I think if we are friends it would be ..read more

I had been seeing this guy for a few weeks now. His nickname is Melo (read as “mellow”) which I find to be the perfect nickname for him. He is laid back, low key and super sweet! We had gone through a lovely rollercoaster in those weeks. He seemed like a good person, that is why when he asked me at one am to go to the middle of nowhere with him I said: let’s go! And we went. Ok, let’s rewind a bit. Tinder, Oh tinder. My profile is made up of two photos and what would be considered a “longish” description. What does it include? My political views, I am feminist, in case you hadn’t noticed. But ..read more

I’m just going to say it. Not going to pee around the bush. Calling me pretty is not a compliment. I know some people say it with the best intentions. My grandma says it with the best intentions. However here is why I don’t take it as a compliment: I was born like this. This is my hair, these are my eyes, this is my nose and this is my mouth. I didn’t get to choose it and I didn’t do anything to have this face. Those thinking: “oh you are so full of yourself!” You can back off. Everyone is beautiful and that is why people should not compliment others on their physical appearance. Obviously th ..read more
