We knew they were out there, but Elle encounters bad men of the highest order on a morally dubious hook-up site
By Elle Sanders
23 July 2009
After spending the rest of the weekend cringing and getting naked flashbacks from the club, I settled back into work and started writing up the feature. It’s amazing how many people have asked me if I ‘got involved’.
Even my Editor (who is reaching about 55) asked if I was tempted to give it a go. Then our gay art editor continued to ask whether the men had huge willies and whether I got ‘even slightly turned on’ watching other people having sex.
By the time I left the office on Monday evening I think I was a permanent shade of red, thanks to all the blushing.
With all the excitement, I also forgot about my date with Damon and suddenly had to make a mad dash into Selfridges after work to replace my huge greying Bridget Jones pants with something a little sexier....well, just in case. As the Brownies say, a woman should always be prepared!
Damon had invited me to see a play which his brother is directing. It’s something about a war and lots of people who get trapped in a bomb shelter. I can’t say I was 100% looking forward to it but when I arrived at the theatre Damon had a bottle of wine waiting and informed me we could take it into the auditorium.
The play was dull, and as a result by the end I was well and truly sloshed. Luckily he thought it was rubbish too so we giggled about it the whole way home in the taxi.
When I say ‘home’ I mean his house. It seems tonight the best friend wasn’t going to turn up so (woo-hoo!) I was actually going to be spending the night with him!!!!







yeah and very controlling!

As a fellow blogger (blogging my entire personal life somehow seems to help figure my problems out) i just wanted to say i love the column! Its nice to see if not the only female who does rather silly things to do with ex's!

My boyfriend had a message on his phone from an MS. I know i shouldnt be going through his phone but when i saw this really flirty text i knew i had to take revenge. So i texted the mysetrious girl back and told her she was crap in bed and not to contact me again...and I did it all from my boyfriends phone.
Needless to say he is now my ex!
Loving the column Elle..just don't get back with him!

anyway, keep your head up girl,he really didn't deserve you. it'll hurt but you'll get over him.
at least you'll get to keep wine producers out of the red with all your guzzling and keep the economy going.
