Well, hello folks. I expect you all thought you’d heard the last of me! Sordid details following:
I’ve been keeping to myself since the first lockdown.
Being isolated for 6 weeks in the first lockdown made me really miss human contact (my job is the only way I get any, and the brief company of strangers is better than nothing, but still infinitely better.)
I deleted every dating app, and managed to last for a few months.
Eventually Facebook Dating appeared and I joined that, with little success.
I joined TikTok in November and I’ve been trying to use that to connect with people though its completely pointless, but a lot of fun.
I managed to go viral with one video, but, embarrassingly, its me pretending to knock one out to the tune Everyday by Buddy Holly. Nothing inspirational or cute.

I rejoined Tinder recently, and a chat I had this evening has reminded me why I gave up, and why I’m here now.
I unmatched her before I screenshotted the chat, so I’ll have to give you the gist here.
She asked me how I was coping with the COVID pandemic, and I answered honestly (its all terrible) and after a few messages I happened to say “Waking each day is a bonus, lucky I’m a glass half full kind of guy” which I must admit was me being a bit ironic/sarcastic (always a mistake in written form) but she chose to reply, “Well you don’t sound very optimistic” which I saw as “Red Flag #1 🚩”
Then, before things turned horrible she noted that my “Job” was Music Producer and Author, not Taxi Driver, as our earlier conversation had revealed.
I replied that whom we identify as is more relevant than how we make a living. She said she wouldn’t have swiped right had she known I was a taxi driver, as she was sick of being the breadwinner in past relationships “Red Flag #2 🚩”
So yeah, that was fun. Have you missed me? 🤣🤣🤣
