This One Date...!!!

So today's post is going to be on my worst date experience!!!
I've wanted to write this post for ages but every time I'd write something down on paper, my views would change.
I really don't understand men sometimes.
I've been on a few dates recently and whilst most of these dates have been successful, there's always this one date which goes seriously wrong and I can't help but ask myself;
'WHY DID I CHOOSE TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU?'
I randomly met this guy on a night out a few months back and he kept buying me drinks and asking to dance. I'm usually the first to reject drinks from strangers but I couldn't help but notice his eyes and the way he looked. Anyway, we got talking and the next thing I know he's putting my number in his phone.

The next day I looked at my camera and saw lots of unrecognised faces and I straight away called my best friend to ask her what had happened as all I could think about was my hangover I was suffering that day.
The guy from the night out ended up texting me... Alot and we finally agreed to meet up the following night.

The day arrived and I was going through my wardrobe wondering what to wear. I didn't even know where I was going yet as he said it was a surprise but to meet in London.
I guessed it was somewhere fancy so I put on a dress I'd just bought and got the train to Central london.
My mind was racing with so many thoughts. 'What if he didn't like me sober?' 'What if our personalities clashed'? 'What if he stands me up'? So many 'What ifs'...
He was already waiting for me when I got to the station. YES! He hadn't stood me up!!! Sometimes it's good to be late.
Wait, he had flowers in his hands!!! Oh Gosh!!!!
As he passed me the flowers with a massive grin on his face, I couldn't help but think 'We don't even know each other' but it was very thoughtful of him so I took them, thanked him and we walked along the river hand-in-hand.
I couldn't help but think he's so good looking. Drunk Tiger did well last night!
We made our way to one of the poshest bars I've ever been to and sat down in the corner of the room.
The night had started so well, we were talking about our lives. His personality was like mine. I laughed at his jokes (His jokes were actually so funny, I didn't have to force myself to laugh) 
I learnt so much about him, he learnt so much about me. Drinks were flowing all night and it wasn't just from his pocket but my pocket too.
He then started to talk about relationships. HOLD THE PHONE! One date and he's trying to own me???
His question 'Will you be my girlfriend?' kept ringing in my mind.
I was so focussed on my thoughts in my mind that I hadn't realised he was on his phone texting.
As soon as he put his phone down, he ordered us another cocktail. He then started to go on about 'Us' as a couple. As I was listening to him, I saw his phone light up once, twice, three times.
He quickly put his phone faced down as he didn't think i saw it and his phone vibrated on the table. He excused himself and answered the phone call in an angry way. After what seemed like an eternity, he came back to the table and apologized for walking off. He told me his ex knew he was going on a date with me tonight and she wasn't happy about it.
I was thinking If i was in her situation, I'd probably not be happy either but then again an Ex is an ex for a reason....
Apart from a few more phone calls to his ex that evening, we had a great time. He took me to my train station, he kissed me goodbye and told me to text him when I got home okay.
Now you're probably thinking that's not a bad date at all.... Well turns out as soon as I got home, my best friend rang me....
'The guy you went on a date with tonight... his girlfriend wants to beat you up'!!!! Wait, WHAT?!?!
Apparently he still had a girlfriend and she was calling him whilst we were at the bar. His girlfriend had seen his snapchat posts of us both on his account and the flowers he bought me. Oh boy!
She was accusing me of breaking up their relationship when I didn't even know they had one.
Apart from feeling embarrassed and sad for the girl, I felt relieved that I didn't say yes to being his girlfriend after all otherwise I would have been in more trouble.
I found the girl's facebook and explained myself to her and she finally agreed not to hate me. We came to terms that he's a cheater and a liar and we vowed never to talk to him again. I deleted his facebook, phone number and his text messages and even chucked away his flowers!!!!
Thankfully i've not heard from him since. I hope he learnt his lesson though. 'Don't cheat or lie, We will always find out'. 

I know not all men are like this but a majority of them are these days and now i'm wise enough to know that sometimes guys tell you what they want you to hear.
I've also been on a few more dates since then and luckily I've not had an experience like this so far.

SUCCESS!!!!

This post is generally about my worst date experience. I'm sure i'll have plenty more in the future. If you've had a bad date experience, comment below. I would love to hear them :)

Twenty-Five Facts About Me!!!!

1. I started singing in my local Choir church at the age of fourteen.

2. The best snack in the world besides fruit is PARTY RINGS!!!! I used to love it as a child and I still do now as an adult. Please don't judge me!

4. I get motion sickness!!!!!! I hate it and it affects my life a lot especially when I'm travelling in a car or train. If you get travel sickness, heres a tip for you: Do NOT drink alcohol whilst travelling to your destination. The amount of times I've been sick on a night out due to travel sickness and alcohol...

5. I can't walk in heels to save my life but don't worry, I do own at least two pairs. I prefer wedges which can be just as bad to walk in, especially the heeled wedges I wear.

6. I love to talk, but I'm sure everyone who knows me knows that!

7. I cry a LOT! Sometimes it's happy tears though so it's good! What can I say, i'm an emotional person.

8. I absolutely HATE shopping in public! It bores me. It confuses me and terrifies me especially when there's so many people searching for near enough the same thing in the same shop. Give me a laptop and the internet and I'll do all my shopping online, thanks!

9. I love to photograph everything including myself but I know I'm not perfect. As long as I make myself happy....

10. I love F.r.i.e.n.d.s still after all these years!

13. Before I die, I have to meet Beyonce. I'm one of her biggest fans!!!

14. I've never been on a girls holiday before. I have always wanted to go on one but it's never been the right time. Hopefully next year.

15. I am addicted to my Iphone. Every minute of the day I'm either taking selfies, on my Instagram, Whatsapp or snapchat. Ironically I don't have any game apps on my phone though. On my other phone I have a few games but I've somehow lost the charger and now the phone is dead....HMMM!!!

16. This might be weird but I really hate eating in front of people. I have to sit far away on my own or I'll throw the food away or take it home with me and eat it then. I can only eat in front of my family and close friends.... I don't even know why. I'm trying to overcome this!!!!

17. I put myself down a lot. I try not to but sometimes I can't help it.

18. I am happy 80% of the time. I am most happy when I'm with people I love or when I'm getting ready for a night out!!!! :)

19. I really hate my current job but i've stuck with it for nearly two & a half years.

20. If you try to tickle me, I will probably scream and then hit your arm!

23. When I'm ill at home, I have to have a disney film day where I get under the bed covers, wearing my special Tiger onesie and watch classic disney films with either a hot chocolate or tea. Sometimes I have company but other times I love to be alone :)

24. I hate letting people down but sometimes I have to if it'll cost me my job but my family will always come first in life no matter what!

25. Three out of the Seven days, I love my own company. ♥

To make you feel a bit better for not blogging like I said I would last week, I'll give you an extra fact about myself.

26. I have a dent in my nose from when I was a toddler. Apparently I scratched my nose when I caught chicken pox and it left a visible mark which looks like I've had my nose pierced. I've never had my nose pierced though. Hopefully next year!

Toodles XOXO

Chapter One! About Me!!!

Hi There... So as I'm new to the whole blogging world, I thought I might as well begin with a small introduction about myself.
In case you don't know who I am, my name is Antonia but I'm known as Tiger.
I bet you're wondering.... Tiger? How? Why? What? When?
As a child I was known as Kitty Cat by my mother. As I grew up and went to university, it was time for a change and the rest is history!

I am in my twenties, born and raised in London. Sister to five siblings and Aunty to three children.
I was born to write TV and film screenplays which I first had a passion for at the age of ten.
My dream always was to become a parent, a kindergarten teacher and a famous screenwriter, all of which I have FAILED at!
I have realised raising a child is the hardest thing anyone can do but it seems like everyone's becoming a parent these days, even kids as young as sixteen are!!!! Some might want the help from the government, ie. benefits, council house. However others disagree with the way the government is run and I'm one of them.
I believe that if you know you can't raise a baby at the moment, then simply don't have one, that is why I've decided not to have a baby yet.  Don't worry, i will be talking more of this in my upcoming posts.

As a child, one of my favourite films was Kindergarten Cop with  actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and I would religiously watch it every Christmas and whenever I was bored to the point where I knew every famous line. Thats when I found myself wanting to become a Kindergarten teacher. I researched what I needed to do to excel as a teacher, I even looked at different universities in England and America.
When the time came to do my Ucas, I put down five of the best universities for my degree but somehow was chosen to do a Scriptwriting course at Staffordshire University and decided writing screenplays probably made more money and was a better career for me.
After so many lectures. graduating with a degree, countless drunk situations and over nine grand in debt, I still hadn't managed to find that perfect dream job as a screenwriter. Over the past few years, I have enjoyed getting my foot in the media industry, working as a radio presenter, Photographer and social media intern but for now my dream will have to wait. Instead I work to live and live to work, thirty- forty hours a week in a place I very much hate.
Who said becoming an adult was fun when you have rent, bills and food to pay for every month?

Anyway enough about me, on my blog; I'm going to write about anything and everything, from my daily lifestyle to my opinions of the world.
Get ready for TWO new posts every week.

Enjoy xo
