Internet dating. Ah, something I always thought was incredibly lame .aaaaand something I swore I would never do (those of you who know me are no doubt already laughing). Have you ever heard the saying; “Never say never”? Trust me, there is a lot of wisdom there!

Hi folks!
Ah, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Hope you are all alright.
