Butterflies

Two weeks ago marked my first date in six years. Yes, that's right. All the boxes were ticked: he lived in the same borough of London (that means a lot!); I smiled whenever his name popped up on my screen (for this ice maiden, that means even more!); he made me laugh; he was interesting; he had facial hair!!! The date was lovely and he was sweet. SWEET. After so many years on the shelf, I don’t want sweet. I want chemistry. I want butterflies. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw: 

“Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.” 

Lesson number 1: I definitely need butterflies.
