SO it’s 2008, she said, stating the bleeding obvious again...
OK, what are you going to change this year? Have you made any resolutions yet, and if so, have you broken them already?
Being a non-smoker, moderate drinker, drug abstainer and all-round nice person (ahem...) I decided to make negative resolutions this year, one of which has been to swear more, the other of which is too rude for a family newspaper...

I’m finding them rather hard to stick to so far. It might be easier just to resolve to not make any more resolutions...
Anyway, lately I’ve been feeling a bit hard done by on the old male dating front.
In 2007 I was, in no apparent order: groped on the dance floor by someone who didn’t even know my name; propositioned by a married man; kissed on the cheek by two colleagues I have the hots for; nearly tempted to a one night stand with a complete stranger; and rejected by a man I could fall for if given half the chance.
But not once was I asked out on a date. Not once! I counted – twice. Cue the violins...
So, knowing there are indeed plenty more fish in the sea, I’ve decided to go fishing, so to speak.
Yup, I recently bit the bullet, swallowed my pride (and a bit of lead) and placed a ‘lonely hearts’ ad in the local newspaper. Although they don’t call them lonely hearts ads anymore - cos it’s not cool to be lonely, I suppose.
My ad hasn’t appeared yet, but rest assured I will let you know the results. Here’s hoping my love life improves in 2008. Who knows, maybe it will be down to the power of the local press!
