[Two posts in one month? Perhaps there's hope for this thing yet. Though, really, I wouldn't consider the last one a "true" post. More a glorified tweet.]

My Plan for Happiness;

Phase 1: Meet girl
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit

Just a shame I’m failing miserably at Phase 1.

One night last week, Sarann said to me “life is boring if you don’t fancy anyone”, and by golly she’s right. I’ve always measured my, ahem, droughts purely on how long I’ve been single (Coming up to 11 months, fact fans). But now I realise there’s more to it than that.

After previous relationships I’ve quickly found someone to at least have a crush on, if not more besides. It’s so much more comforting to imagine what might be, as opposed to dwell on what once was. University was a veritable hot-pot of distractions, but now, well, there’s nothing. Working as a Code Monkey, you can imagine how many females there aren’t in my office (there are maybe 5 in the entire building). Outside of works it’s just as much a sorry state. I could count the new friends¹ I’ve made in the past year on one hand. A hand, I might add, that is devoid of digits².

With no-one to even so much as daydream about, my mind can’t help but dwell. Even more, I miss the thrill of meeting someone new, having someone to at least make an effort for (even if you don’t stand a chance in hell), to actually get excited about seeing.

So what do I do? Sarann continues to talk of cookery classes, which is a sound idea, and frankly I don’t see any other apparent options. Well, except some form of match making service.
…
I jest, of course. It’s not that bad. Yet. Still, if anyone³ feels like setting me up on a, hnnrgh, blind date, be my guest.

¹ Friend, in this instance, being someone who I see/speak to on a regular basis outside of work and in real life.
² Though Rie suggested that, yes, I have made a friend in the form of Matthew. I’m not entirely convinved that helps. But still, being (fake) Uncle Si does bring a smile to my face.
³ Except you, Chris.
