Instead of getting all Romeo and Juliet or Jim and Pam on each other, and praying that he does (or doesn’t) make a move, why not try to pick up on the signs first?
It's really hard to write a dating blog when no one really wants to date you.
You want loyalty, honesty, commitment and faithfulness. You want to be respected. You want to be loved. You want your effort to be reciprocated.
You know what I'm talking about - where you see a couple so obviously mismatched that you're left wondering how they even got together in the first place.
The first time I got dumped, I found out it was because I was 'boring'. I was pretty upset. I cried on the bus ride home, I cried in my best friend's bed, I cried intermittently over the next few days. I was also angry.

You have the magic touch when it comes to Instagram creeping. No rookie mistakes of accidentally liking a photo from 98 weeks ago will be made!
