The 42 Failed Dates of a Hapless Romantic

Hi guys,

It has been a bloody long time since I've posted anything on these forums, probably years actually. I sort of got caught up in finishing Uni, getting a job, paying tax and watching Countdown. However, I have finally started a new creative project for the first time in ages and I just thought I'd post it on here to see what people thought really.

It's basically a fictional comedy blog series, called the 'The 42 Failed Dates of a Hapless Romantic' which tells of how a guy met the love of his life through the story of all the failed dates that led him to that point. Each date is a new short story, and I publish a new story every couple of weeks.

If anything else I'm just enjoying doing something that gets me writing again regularly. If you'd like to check it out you can see what it's all about on the link below, and the first 4 stories are currently published now too:

It would be great to hear if you guys think I'm heading along the right sort of track, and whether you think it has the potential to build up a bit of a following.

Also, if anybody has any great experiences of terrible first dates I'm always on the look out for inspiration for new stories (I do have 42 to fill after all!)

Thanks!
