Let me take you back to the very beginning....

I have found myself in 'a situation'.... where to start the tale?
After a couple of disaster relationships I found myself single, successful(ish), city living, gaggle of floozies in my life guaranteed to have fun wherever and whenever we get together.
That old cliche is so true... when you stop looking things come to you. I'd done the rebounds (urgh shivers), I'd done the dating website (Plenty of Fish - recommended for the best laughs and safe stalking - don't judge until you've tried it!!) I was well and truly loving singledom "I'm not having a boyfriend for at least another year, I'm so not interested, all about the floozietime!"
So what happens....? In to my life comes 'The Boy'
The meeting couldn't be anymore unlikely. After a very drunken day at the races, a very drunken me sees my very drunken flatmate attempting to have a conversation with a very not drunk, very not impressed man. In I waltz to save the day and five minutes later we're laughing, dancing and then PUBLIC SNOGGING. cringe.
It was a one night snog. He lived 85 miles away (where I had lived 2 years ago, been there done that, over that). I have no phone in my bag (single girl don't need any contact other than my girls), can't remember my number, so I give my name to the guy to add me on facebook (obviously not expecting this and thinking this is a nice civilised goodbye). WRONG. I then realise that this sober guy who is a one night kiss has scrawled his phone number in biro on my arm full length! Not a look I was going with in my maxi dress!! We part ways. I walk past his group leaving again thinking this is the civillised goodbye. WRONG. One of the guy's group drops a glass on my foot, I go to A&E after a few tears and strong persuasion to stop this strange guy who made me publicly snog escorting me! (I looked very classy in A&E with the biro, the glazed eyes, the hysterical laughing with my main floozie).
I come back to my flat about 5am thinking ok a few stitches, a broken toe, a good day, a random snog but that's it. I come home to a witty message and a facebook add. And as you can probably guess it didn't end there....
This is the tale of 2 people who had been there done that relationship wise and were going into the specifically allocated single period of our lives, definitely not looking for a relationship, especially not a long distance relationship... the ups, downs, highs, lows and everything in between.... GOING THE DISTANCE xxx
