Happy Valentine's Day!
I could barely leave my front door this morning due to the mounds of cards I had on the door mat. Yeah right!
Being a single girl on Valentine's Day is pretty much the worst time to be single. On the commute home there were heart balloons floating in my face, the stench of lilies and roses throughout the carriage and men with way too much aftershave checking themselves out in the window. Ok, I get it, it's love day and we are all supposed to be in a good mood, but why do we need one day to celebrate love? Shouldn't couples celebrate love day everyday?
Did you know that 190 million roses are sold on this day alone? Why today? There is a stereotype of a man that only on special occasions or when they have done something wrong do they buy flowers. A man (in my opinion) needs to show affection and care throughout the year and not just because society demands it.
I did notice that I was the only girl on the commute home that wasn't texting a loved one or checking my make up before a big date. Am I really the last single girl?
So I make it my mission to find a man. This experiment will be recorded on this blog and we shall find out exactly how easy it is to find a decent man.
And I am not just looking for number 29 (yes .. I am on number 28!). I'm looking for a well built, caring, honest, committed, tall, non smoking, Prince Charming who drives - is that too much to ask?
I will be starting my experiment by venturing to a cage fighting event to see exactly how testosterone can affect how a man acts around a woman. I shall be dressed in my best and shall be completely available for conversation - nothing other than a little harmless flirting.
Here goes ...
