Irresistibly romantic dating… 2007-03-19 16:52:00 Irresistibly romantic
dating…We girls all dream of a prince charming lifting us up from the ground with one arm while holding flowers with the other...or a kitten, or a hotdog, or a broom or whatever you fancy. Guys, not to generalize but I guess you would be into a girl taking you out for a roast and a couple pints or 3, or 4, or 5… Well, I’ve experienced a few of those pub meals which I think are lovely, and I had the one top of the class glamour dinner at Claridges on a week-end in London before I came to live here… I jump on a plane in the south of France to take off for a summer week-end in London, to visit a friend and to meet up with a holiday (and temporary) romance. Perfect couple of days ahead and lovely weather to come… I finally arrive to London, spend my first night at my friend’s flat, trying to not think about my next appointment with my date and I didn’t come up with anything better to do than go down to the pub for drinks, and more drinks, you know, to
Dating in London 2007-03-15 17:28:00 Dating in LondonAs a newbie and a foreigner in London a few months here have already been full of experiences and I can say that this city is a real bombshell when it comes to meeting people and especially dating! The thing is that London, as much as it offers the opportunity to meet the most interesting good looking fabulous men or women, you can find yourself sitting in front of a nutter thinking “why am I not at my mate’s having drinks before what can most likely seem like another memorable night out?” or just about finding a way to convince your boss that you’re worth more than what he thinks. In any case I can say that from what I’ve experienced so far, London is very entertaining and if you’re looking for the unexpected romantic, funny, crazy, or strange encounter, you’re in for a ride!… and I guess that it’s what I’m looking for in this city. So I tried to combine dating with doing things or going to events that are part of the city’s cultural and social li Read more:Dating
Along the Riverside... 2007-03-20 12:31:00 Along the Riverside
…Do we think enough about choosing the right place to take someone on a first date? Say the riverside for example? Usually the typical places are a café, a bar, a restaurant or the cinema, by why not increasing the chances of success and play the originality card by taking him/her for a walk along the river? Ok, you may not all have a river flowing next door but surely you can find a lake or even a park to go to. I always keep in mind that it is part of human nature to exuberate feelings and euphoria when we’re near an open space with natural elements around. So in the worst case scenario if your date seems to be a total freak you can just go for a cup of coffee and get it over with instead of having to go trough a painful boring expensive dinner. Especially if you picked her/him up on an online dating website, what are the chances to find your other half on the first shot (and it’s more fun to date different people before finding the right one)!! So to spread
Games, games and more games 2007-03-22 16:55:00 Games, games and more gamesWhen I was a teenager my friends would trick me in making me somehow land in a room on my own with a boy who fancied me and had spread the word around. That ended up in basically everyone around knowing except for me. The other technique well renown by teens is kissing in the cupboard in the dark for one minute, and everyone manages to “coincidently” end up with his/her dream sweetheart.Well, in the adult world those games haven’t changed much, we have our more subtle and complex versions of the same games we use to play as kids. The other day I was invited for dinner by a couple of friends who had just moved in together and I was expecting nothing less than them talking about how great it was settling down with your other half and this new life was a lot more fulfilling and meaningful than what they had before as singles looking for the next catch. But to be honest, it’s kind of nice as well to see two people telling their story as a fairytale and kn
Thin, skinny, bony, scary skeleton…? 2007-03-21 16:31:00 Thin, skinny
, bony, scary skeleton…?Like many people these days, I’m wondering why the size zero trend and the skeletal look is so in vogue… So I went around asking boys about it and the answers I got were: “Nah, I like curves too much!”, “I don’t want to be cuddling a skeleton!”, and a few said that they really liked skinny girls when they know how to dress properly matching their body figure. But most of the men I spoke to had a slight expression of disgust on their face… I understand how a very thin body can be considered aesthetic. In some cases there is nothing more beautiful than a tall skinny girl, who, by her body language can express a grace and elegance through vulnerability and some sort of lovely unease that makes us want to comfort her. Those girls seem to be precious little things that are meant to receive great care… and one day they feel ill, and fall in a long lasting conditional state that makes them stay in an invisible unbreakable bubble. What ha
Watch out for the invaders 2007-03-23 19:02:00 Watch out for the invadersJust wanted to tell a little story that happened to me whilst working one night, it can perhaps bring some help to some of you out there… Have you ever been confronted to a totally harmless person who seems to be at first the perfect catch but turns out to invade the little space you have when you’re working? The job I have requires me to work during the night most of the time, in a bar and I have to deal with all sorts of people. One evening a charming French boy shows up and orders a few drinks from me, we start to chat and get to know each other, and the deal was that he was in London just for a night, for an academic test he had to attend to in the morning. Strangely enough he hadn’t booked a hotel and was planning on roaming in the streets, visiting London by night and mingling with Londoners until the next day… fair enough, I thought that was pretty great actually. But after walking in my bar he never left and stayed until I finished my shift, ch
The Chase 2007-03-24 21:13:00 The chaseLast year I went on one of those student exchange programs in another country and was part of that little student community who’s regular pastime is to get wasted for as long as possible and fit a few essays in between. Each week one of the student buildings had a theme party. Basically when you go to most of them you meet up with the other regulars who would never miss out on any. But usually we always wore masks, shades, hats and face make-up; and when things start to get all blurry and difficult to remember it’s not always easy to recognise each other on a normal sober state! One night I was ready to go to a Halloween party dressed up as a Japanese girl, and in the middle of the party someone in a cape, a black wig and a tall hat, covered with a layer of white face paint darkened around the eyes comes to me, stops really close in front of my face, staring at me without saying a word. I obviously waited for a reaction, trying not to twitch, staring back. I didn’t want
Strange proposals 2007-03-25 23:50:00 Strange proposals
Right before moving to London I met a an English guy and saw him once or twice in a few parties, chatted a little, didn’t know him much but thought he was nice, and that’s about it. Apart from my good friends, I kind of left behind a drastically different lifestyle to move on and come to Britain, even though I had an amazing year. One day I chat with this same guy, he was curious about what I was up to, and was telling me that he was coming to the UK to spend a week-end with his girlfriend. They’re both from Nottingham and decided to take a couple days off in London together. He said he would maybe give me a call to meet up and have a drink somewhere. Then he started to ask me strange questions like “do you have a boyfriend at the moment?”- No. “So are you the serious type when it comes to being in a relationship? – Um, it depends, but usually I like sticking to one person only. Although when I’m single I wouldn’t mind a one night stand. “Oh really? Read more:Strange
The Fantasy 2007-03-26 23:02:00 The FantasyWhat happens when you spend most of your time daydreaming of someone you think is out of reach? When you know that there are many girls out there who get blood rushes to their head each time they glance at him… So you try to let it go because that kind of reveries won’t really lead you to anywhere. Or will they? When I was a teenager I usually wouldn’t go for the high school hottest boy. Because it becomes a mini Hollywood scene with who could get the best gossip about the popular ones. I never was the class geek but I wasn’t the most popular. I just tried to do the best and get through the teenage years with no trauma or adolescent troubles. My parents used to have many Latin-American friends and me and my sister were friends with their kids. One night we threw a party at home and my mom said she had new guests, a new Mexican family she had met the week before. When they came through the door I realise that their older son was one of the cute boys from school most o
One face, two faces, three, four...? 2007-03-28 20:48:00 One face, two faces
, three, four…?The other day I was strolling in the streets in Shoreditch, enjoying the markets and the people, discovering little clothes and records shops, and I finished by having a coffee in a pub and relax. After a while, a boy comes up to me with a beautiful smile asks if he can sit with me for a bit, and I like people who are spontaneous and like walking up to strangers and socialise. Well, maybe in this case “just socialising” was not the only motivation, but his approach was friendly and added character to his person. We chatted about random subjects and it was lovely. When I left I agreed to meet him the next week in a bar to see a live rock gig in the same area. This time it looked like a first proper date… So I turn up the next week and the bar was full of very trendy people, lots of haircuts and the latest fashion trends. I wasn’t especially fancy dressed because I wanted to keep it simple, we had a very open and natural encounter and I liked t
The lova lover 2007-03-30 20:23:00 The lova lover
One day I was wandering around the City and Liverpool Street, visiting the market and the area and I was having in mind to buy a nice white shirt I could wear for smart occasions. If you’ve been around the place you can’t miss all the sales for shirts! I walked in a few shops seeking for the best deal and after 3 or 4, I enter in the next one on the street, and while I was looking at the clothes, a well dressed and well spoken young man approaches me and asks me what I was looking for. I just said a couple of nice shirts, asking if they had any special offers. “Let me show you what we have on stock at the moment, lovely materials!” he says while leading me to a never-ending shelf of folded shirts… “Here are the classic silk ones, if you want to be elegant and simple, these are our satins, and further down is a wide range of cottons. Let me show you how refined they are.” He makes me touch the fabric and while I was trying to look at the quality all of a sudd
When the morning light hits you in the face 2007-03-29 17:51:00 When the morning light
hits you in the faceI was getting ready for another night out with a friends; I wanted to look sexy and attractive and was ready for some flirting! So we went to a night bar we usually go to, had a few drinks, and then I was one of the first ones on the dance floor! I have to say dancing is my favourite sport, and when the music is good, the alcohol is slowly flowing in my veins, it can only get better (well, in most cases)! And what is better than the dance floor when it comes to seduction! Before looking at the prettiest boy in the room, I look at the one who has rhythm and is enjoying himself. Body language is often left behind, which really is too bad, because so much more of a person is revealed through his/her moves! For me, the guy who has the largest and extrovert moves isn’t at all the best dancer, I bet that he would be the show off type when you start talking to him. I like to spot the ones that have the right moves but try not to appear like “hey,
Red Intense 2007-04-09 21:17:00 Red IntenseSometimes we do things we don’t really want to, like letting your friends hook you up with the “perfect man” (they say!). They know you so well that they believe they can make you get on it with the best match there is, the person you’ve always dreamed of according to them. “You lived in Holland last year haven’t you! Oh! This guy is half Dutch!” “Oh my god he must be my destiny!” Is that the correct answer!? But well, sometimes when we feel a little lonely, why not? Follow your friends into their matchmaking talent, yes, fall in their little rabbit hole thinking it will lead you to wonderland!! Great… I made them swear to not plan a blind date, not one of those one on one “what do you do for a living” conversations. It was going to be all fake anyways, I wasn’t having none of that! Just a friendly gathering in a pub was all I wanted, no dinner, no movie! I could see my mates already looking at each other with an accomplice smile… oh dear! But at
Mr. Slim 2007-04-12 21:54:00 Mr. SlimIf you go further back on my blog, on of my little short stories is about the attractiveness of skinny girls (I’m talking size zero skinny!). I had a chat with a few boys on what they thought about bony girls and very few had a positive opinion about it (although I do think that some of them might not want to admit they like sick looking girls). So then I went around asking people about this new fashion trend consisting in boys wearing jeans that reveal a little too much of their lower body parts. The fabric sticks so much to their legs than you can see more than you need. What happened to those lose pants that hide a man’s strong legs? Isn’t that more exciting? What’s so attractive in putting everything out there? Ok boys, you don’t have strong god-like muscular legs, hips, bum? That’s fine, but I need to be filled in on how a pair of slim jeans will help you hide that or make it more attractive. Yes, I do think that very few boys can pull off wearing slims, but th
Delicious fusion 2007-04-14 17:20:00 Delicious fusion
You know when you have one of those nights where you go out and get your head so fu*ked that it doesn’t take one but at least two days to recover? And the most likely for it to happen is when you haven’t planned it, when the only plans you had in mind were a peaceful night at home to catch up with your sleep. That’s when your body isn’t ready but is going to react a lot more to whatever you intake. And of course what better than your mates coming down dragging you out for “just a drink”! Actually, to be honest, that day I got high on something else. We all went to Primrose Hill together with a little picnic basket. It was at the end of the afternoon and the air was warm, just when its spring and the view you can get from London is amazing. You feel that the air you breath in has been purified and it’s making you kind of tipsy already, you don’t need much more to get your serotonin flowing! This new guy came along, he was from Sweden, didn’t talk much b Read more:Delicious
From connatations to revelations 2007-04-14 17:08:00 From connotations to revelationsSometimes, instead of joining my London family (my blessed bar staff colleagues), I go visit other ones in different points of London. I love how in England each pub has its own little culture, mini society carrying its personalized flavour. I happily joined my lovely flatmate for a night out in her pub, and she managed to hook us up with two boys she had gone out with before. She said they were Aussie swimming instructors with the typical surfer look. “Nice” I thought, “let’s go out and have a fun night with the two boys!” We met at her bar and started to have drinks, a fun chat (taking advantage of the 2 for 1 cocktail pitchers which gave us the illusion of access to free pouring). We went to a few bars after that, along with a superficial boy-girl flirt. They were really nice boys, but something about them seemed a little strange. Nothing about them showed anything else than normal Aussie dudes, but as the night went by they started to talk
Nothing but theatre 2007-04-20 20:36:00 Nothing but theatre
My pub always tries to be in the loop and follows the trends of the moment, one of them is having a cultural night once a week, bringing in stand up comedy, theatre or poetry. It really is just a way to look posh and fill the bar with people on a quiet night, especially with tormented “intellectual or artists” drinking away their miseries, or boredom. But I like it, to be honest it changes from the usual crown that comes to have a drink and shows off with their attitude, trying to impress the others. This artist crown is slightly different. Since most of them are into little independent events, they don’t have much to brag about (although they’re more authentic). But then they have “actors only” bars, hah! I met one of them the other day, fun and good looking, simple, friendly… He took me for dinner to one of his bars where “normal people” aren’t aloud in, you actually need an official paper saying that you act for a living! A table was reserved u Read more:Nothing
The fight 2007-04-19 18:16:00 The fight
One after work me and the rest of the staff decided we decided to go to a bar and have a few drinks. We had been serving all night and it was our turn to be served! We had a couple drinks and started to move on the dance floor… a bit later a guy comes dancing near me, getting closer and closer. I pretty much let him, indifferent but not really bothered, heh, I had no more energy to do the talk thing, not interested! But still, it wasn’t repulsing to play the seduction game, and he wasn’t too bad at it! We didn’t talk much, I just asked him his name and gave him mine. We danced together, he was pretty tall and strong and his kind of attitude suggested that he didn’t really mind which girl he was dancing with as long as she wasn’t a troll. I was too tired to care this time and let myself go. It was pretty fun I laughed and drank, and a little later we found ourselves against a wall in a dark corner kissing. I was saying to myself “this is so cliché”, and then
Lovely Character 2007-04-19 18:13:00 Lovely characterWhen I was travelling on the train once, to go from the North back to London, I was alone and usually more likely to meet people. It’s funny how you can come across the most extremely diverse crowd. It’s exciting, fun, sometimes even scary but each trip is unique, beautiful and bizarre in its own way. That time I jumped on the train, not really prepared for a few hours doing nothing much but reading my book and eventually fall asleep. A collage student sits in front of me after a few stops, looks at my book for a while, then at my face, then back to the book again; “Are you enjoying it?” I said that I found it very revealing about the English society. I was reading “The Last Party” which describes the musical and political scene of Britain in the eighties and nineties, and there’s plenty of gossip about famous pop rock bands! He said he had read it a few weeks earlier and I could see how he completely identified to things from the book, as if he were one o Read more:Lovely

The man who knew too little 2007-04-23 02:04:00 The man who knew too little
Sometimes I still can’t believe how I meet people I end up dating. A few months ago I posted an ad on the internet to find a new flatmate. I personally wanted to interview boys (and I was secretly find my prince charming to move in, fall in love and have lots of babies! lol). The only thing is that after a few guys viewed the flat my other flatmates preferred if a girl moved in. But I had my heart set on the last boy who came. He was a tall blue-eyed shaggy brown haired guy who had the sweetest little geeky smile. I do believe that a little geeky touch can be so cute! He seemed to be the person who wouldn’t cause any trouble and was easygoing, a little shy though. But at the end we had to go for a girl and one moved in a week later. I wasn’t ready to let go of my lovable little geek and decided to call him (I got his details thanks to the web!). After a few conversations on the phone we agreed to meet up for a drink, and after a few drinks we agreed to
Shopping Trauma 2007-04-23 00:33:00 Shopping traumaGirls, did you know that shopping could be classified as a dangerous activity? It had been a pretty long time I hadn’t been shopping (not a week! but like about 2 months) so I grabbed some extra pounds I had been able to save and took the afternoon to go around shops. After about 4 or 5 shops I found a beautiful vest in an old fashion store. It was a little pricy but gorgeous. I tried it on and then one of the gentlemen working there came to “give me advice”. I personally hate when they come and stand next to you, talking you through to make you buy whatever you try on telling you you’re fabulous. I pretty much ignored him as I usual do and I was really hesitating on whether or not I should take it. I decided to leave and come back later after giving it a thought. I indeed came back, wanted to try it a last time before buying it, and as I was changing in one of the rooms the same guy drew the curtain open going “So you like it, eh?” I started to feel uncomfor Read more:Shopping
Irresistible Londoner 2007-04-25 01:11:00 Irresistible LondonerWhen I moved to London I got lucky to find a job in a great place and with interesting people! In most places in London, whether it’s a restaurant, a pub or a night club, most of the members of the staff are foreigners. I love walking into a place and hear the mix of accents, get lost in them, pretend I’m in a whole other part of the world. In winter when I was in a pub, I would pretend that outside was a Siberian snow stormy landscape, which would force me to stay inside with friends and have pub meals with White Russians for dessert… hehe. My pub has a fair proportion (and I think bigger then average) of English staff which just makes you stay in England, no daydreaming about Asia or the West Indies. And all the regular customers are proper Londoners from offices around, friends from the staff or just because they like the pub. I met this very arrogant man once. I was new but had seen him a few times already, joking around with everyone, he looked like he w Read more:Irresistible
Watermelons 2007-04-25 00:37:00 WatermelonsIf I could I’d avoid going to a supermarket to get my food but the post modern organic natural new age trend made the prices of veggies fly sky high (seriously they grow out of the soil, it’s not caviar!) so I can’t really afford organic right now, it’s a luxury reserved for the wealthy ones. Last time I was in Sainsbury’s I was so tired after of a long day of work that I was wandering aimlessly from aisle to aisle, not really picking anything out, just starring at the products. Like a slightly less coherent Pete Doherty I swaggered, in my head I swaggered, in actuality it was probably more like upright stumbling I arrived in the fruit and veg aisle. There I was, agog, fondling the watermelons. I don’t like watermelons, but when you’ve spent the last week desperately trying to forget you can’t afford to pay your rent by drinking your last pennies away in ever more expensive bars, any fruit seems to possess the magical ability to rejuvenate your alcohol raped
Latin Lover 2007-05-02 17:06:00 Latin loverMy previous little story was about a boy who I’ve been friends with for years and when we met it went back in time to a period where I was hanging out with a big bunch of Latin American friends. Most of them were students coming from wealthy families, in Europe for their studies. What happens is that once you meet one of them, you meet the whole community! They’re friends or from back home, or because they instantly attract each other in public places. It’s a great atmosphere. There are parties every week in different houses, everyone dances (they know the moves!) and gets happily drunk until the early morning. The sense of solidarity between South American is pretty strong, and it’s even stronger abroad. If you get into some deep shit they are there to help you. My closest male friends were like my older brothers, they never let me alone on the street when it was dark, it was so reassuring, it felt nice! In Latin America they’re raised up to take care of their sis Read more:Latin
Reversed Situation 2007-05-02 17:03:00 Reversed situationI just came back from a few days trip in Amsterdam, I was there to celebrate the most important event of the country and the Dutch culture: Queen’s day. This thing is bigger than anything else! Bigger than Christmas, than New year’s eve, than Halloween, Easter, St Patrick’s,… (the list can be long, you got my point). In Holland that day everyone dresses up in orange and goes partying on the streets or on boats in the millions of canals. You get street bands or DJs playing everywhere you walk (and they start at 1pm) and then on the water there are hundreds and hundreds of boats, some containing 50 people dancing around, other small ones with 20 or just 5 people drinking and kind of looking at the big boats with a hidden envy, heh. Then they have themes! If people weren’t in orange, they would be in green and yellow dancing to Brazilian enchanting batucada beats, others were dressed in Dutchy-Germany traditional blond braded haired girly outfits and green poin Read more:Reversed
The new girlfriend 2007-05-07 00:21:00 The new girl girlfriendDuring a period of time I dated this hip cool guy who was a guitarist in a rock band. To be honest this boy was someone I had strong feelings for during our time together. It didn’t work out at the end and it took me quite a while to recover. But usually you tend to bump in your ex when you go out and have friends in common… we’re all a little scared about those little awkward moments! One day I went to a festival with a friend (knowing there was a chance to see him even though there were thousands of people). We saw a few gigs, walked around, went to the bar, and ordered a drink. My mate introduced me to some of his friends and I started talking to this girl. She was nice, and when I offered her to go get a drink at the bar and she said she was supposed to meet her boyfriend who was somewhere nearby in the crowd. Then she was telling me that he played in a band (like so many of the guys around) and when I asked her which one, as she was pronouncing the nam

Risky Flirt 2007-05-04 17:06:00 Risky flirtMy dear flat mate has been doing the same thing as me since she’s in London. Basically it’s taking a year off to discover the pleasures of the big smoke and enjoy as much as we can before getting all serious, career driven and sucked into the system for the next few decades… So she just got a new job in a wicked bar in Camden, a few minutes away from our place. The decoration is old fashioned styled, with a rustic old wood almost a bit filthy atmosphere that makes it even better. An antiseptic artificially clean perfect bar just doesn’t really work for me, I don’t see that much character in it. So anyway, now that she’s working in this nice little pub I’ve decided that it would become one of my new locals (although I don’t want to be disloyal to my number one, which is located on the same street further down). So armed with a few friends and some excitement, I went for a night down there to have a few drinks and also thinking: “Don’t get too wasted, don
