First Post, what to say?

Hi people so this is my first post as shoegal as you can properly guess I LOVE shoes, my other loves are relationships...
I have had plenty of each over the years, shoes should be like men. If they are a good pair they should support you perfectly and make you feel like a millions pounds. Equally a rubbish cheap pair can look great on someone else or a mannequin but once you have them they are useless. Breaking after 1 trip out or leaving you stranded on a night out.

I have read many 'how to' books about shoes, men, clothes, make-up, hair, skin, religion, body, health and mind. At first they seem interesting but by the second chapter I lose interest, so when I went to WH Smith and a pink book caught my eye I thought it would be the same. I was wrong.
'How to walk in high heels' by Camilla Morton is by far THEE best book i have ever spent money on, i brought it back in 2005 before I went on holiday thinking it would be some trashy self help book. I still have it. It has ripped pages, writing in the margins and lots of mini post it notes marking my favourite pages.
Its not only a book about walking in heels as the cover would suggest it had lots of useful anecdotes such as how to change a fuse, how to use the right SMS abbreviations.Among many other bits and pieces.

My mother whenever she see' the book always complains and tells me I should buy a new one if its that great but one of the things I love about my precious book is that that used feeling. I will of course eventually buy a new one maybe as a Christmas gift to my self, but I shall still keep hold of the old one just for the memories.

Now men I should be classed as an expert on these funny creatures. I have been engaged twice in the space of almost 3 years. Impressive some might say the rest say foolish. I think back and choose a mixture of foolishness and love. My second whirlwind romance where he proposed after a month was not much of a shock we were spending all of our spare time together and felt much more connected than a normal couple.
I have this bad habit of splitting up with a partner and getting together with the next once within a week give or take, the longest maybe 2 weeks.

So this time after I split from who I thought was the love of my life after he cheated (the rat). I decided to take a break and try a different approach. Internet dating using the site 'plenty of fish'. There is defiantly a lot of weirdo on these sites. But a lot of the first date pressure is taken away, there was a lot of nice guys on there and i took a chance on one guy. Who after 3 weeks of dating is now my boyfriend.He asked after I refused to give him sex until A) he was my boyfriend and B) I felt comfortable. He respected this, this made me smile.

What is a boyfriend exactly though???
The internet definition of boyfriend is boy·friend/ˈboiˌfrend/

Noun: A regular male companion with whom one has a romantic or sexual relationship.


But to me a boyfriend is someone who you are relaxed around, someone who you can tell anything to, someone who should make you feel like you are the most amazing woman in the world. Their world. This is of course different to everyone, to each their own.

SO what are your thoughts, the real people out there who matter.
