Date Gal - Love, Sex and Relationships

Date Gal - August 2008

Secret Women's Business: Codenames!



My best friend Madeline and I play a little game when it comes to men where we codename them - yep, we start seeing someone or there is guy in our past who we give a nickname to. It may be because of an encounter we have had with them in which they have warranted this name or we could be completely mean, no longer like them and use it in spite!

Either way, it's a fun game between women and boy, do I have some beauties to share with you today!

Mafia: This is my ex boyfriend who turned out to be quite a special individual. I am sure at the time, I liked him but now I am not so sure. He warrants this name because I always thought he was part of mafia.. strange I know. He was from a Eurpeon background, was incredibly wealthy, idolised every character in the Godfather, had a deep desire to get a gun, and went on secret little trips to the city to see apparent 'friends.' When I told my friends about him, Mafia was the perfect codename for him. Just hope her doesn't read this or I might be found on the bottom of the ocean. He he!

Nate Dog: Madeline met a guy once at a Singles Party. He was incredibly charming but he had some funny qualities about him. He loved to make mixed CDs for Madeline and all her friends and usually these were RnB tunes - he was a big fan of Snoop Dog. Then we would have social occasions, Madeline would bring him along and he would often entertain us on the dancefloor with some serious breakdancing. Although Madeline and Nate Dog didn't last, we will always of fond memories of him!


The Clooney: Okay, so we've changed his name for this blog but I was dating for a little while a quite well known TV celebrity. It was nothing major... few drinks here and there, dinner, breakfast, you get the drift. We never really used his first name because I didn't really want anyone to know. But his name did change after an article was written about him in a gossip column that he was seeing a number of women - quite the social butterfly! So his name went from The Clooney to The Snake - ah isn't the dating world fun???

The Dealer: Yes a harsh name, but again there's a story behind it. Madeline met a nice young man at the bar once - he was quite the eligible bachelor, had a penthouse in the middle of the city, drove a nice car, had expensive taste and travelled a lot for work. After knowing him for a little while, she got suspicious about certain people who turned up at his house and the secret business he was doing! She thought it was all in her head and maybe it was but sometimes you've got to go with your gut feeling and she did - she got the hell out of there!!!

The list is endless but I want you to have a little fun and make up a codename for someone you have dated and tell me your little story... and boys you can take part too!!!

Til next time my dating friends,

The 'I So Shouldn't Have Slept With Him' Moment

Another 'Oh No' Moment


Ok... so most of us have probably been with someone that perhaps we shouldn't have, not in the sense they were already hooked up but more that we know that they're not really that great for us and they'll probably break our hearts! Right?

Last night, my friend Lizzy was telling me about a very awkward moment for her at work. A few months ago, she met a very charming fella at a movie premiere. He was in fact a personality for a rival TV station. At the end of the night they swapped digits and planned to meet up again.

A few nights after, he contacted her and invited her over to his house for a drink. She actually thought this TV personality was quite a good catch and was very keen on him, so she decided to go over to his house to get to know him better.

Well getting to know him better may have turned into quite an eventful sleepover. In the morning, everything was fine. They both were happy and made plans to see each other again... or so she thought!

She never heard from the 'bastard' (in her own words) again! Clearly he was a one night stand and just added another notch to his belt. For some weeks, she didn't hear from him nor did she see him at any events until... a few weeks ago he walked into her station! He of course ignored her!

A few days ago, it was announced this TV star was moving TV networks - to Lizzy's network and she would be working quite closely with him! Oh the horror! She immediately went into a frenzy wondering if he would tell anyone or how would she cope him hitting on other girls. She is the last person to bag out another person but how would she warn her work collegues he was a 'man whore '(again, in her own words!)

Classic moment of why did I sleep with him!!! Of course, Lizzy will be fine and it'll probably never be spoken of again... and this TV Cassanova will probably become quite good friends with her! But we've all been there.... those guys or girls that we really should not have sleepovers with!

Have you had one? Oh tell me the goss! Who shouldn't have you slept with?

Til next time my dating friends,

DG. x

To Lower or Not To Lower One's Dating Standards

When I was a naive and peppy 16 year old, like most teenage girls I wrote a list of certain qualities that I was looking for in my ideal man! Tall, dark, handsome, had to be ambituous, have a great job, car, oh did the list goes on. I think in the end it was 2 pages and had about 100 points on it. Now I look back on the list, I realise I was living in dreamland. Or was I?

Sure, some of the points were incredibly superficial - I only wanted to date a footballer or a celebrity (thank goodness I am a little bit older and wiser now) - but some were quite valid. I wanted the fundamentals in someone I wanted to be with - honesty, respect, good sense of humour and fun and great morals. Hmm... maybe I didn't have my entire head in fantasy land!

The thing is that over the years after being single numerous times, I seem to have perhaps lowered my standards. The list I once had has probably gone from 100 points to about 30. And I ask myself, why is this? Is it because I am getting older and the thought of settling down is in the near future? Or is there less men to go around so I have to settle for men who don't really meet what I want or need?

I spoke to the girls about this issue and everyone agrees that they are in the same boat - they're lowering their standards because there are limited men to go around and they have given up on meeting their dream guy. Is this a cop out? And is this really fair to the men we meet? I would hate to think how they would feel if they really knew we were settling for second best! Yikes!

So what do you guys think - are we all settling for second best because we've given up on finding our ideal partner? Is it the same for men - are they resorting to dating women who don't meet their criteria?

Til next time my dating friends,

DG
P.S - Want to know who my ideal man is: Dream on Date Gal... Dream On
