2020 as a singleton has been dry – Sahara dry. If I’m honest I needed no help from covid to kill my dating life as it had started so unpromising but atleast I can blame it on the pandemic now. Since lockdown ended though, I have had a couple meets with someone…… Before I get […]
Dating
I’m App it
I was invited by an organisation to speak about my experiences with marriage apps; my perceptions as to why more and more Muslim women are using them as well as my own on again/off again relationship with them. I thought I would share a few of the discussions points here and invite you to discuss […]

I’m told I’m fussy……..mainly by people married in their 20s who have never had to navigate the relationship market.

Clingfilm; An App Disaster
One of my favourite online stories which I love to tell friends is the one about Clingfilm aka Sex Pest (S.P). I’ll admit I love watching their face change as this story unfolds but in part, I also want to know if they hold anything better in their arsenal of online wonderments. Turns out they […]
Fishing Online
I’m not one for online dating. I would much rather be my wonderful self at a party, have a lovely man saunter upto me, be struck by my amazing personality and live a happily every after. The modern world seems to have cut all that from nearly all cultures. Speaking to single friends of all […]
