mr right.

So I'm sat here with a glass of wine white in one hand and dinner in the oven and it dawns on me that my life is getting more and more Bridget Jones by the minute and I start to wonder...

What happened to Mr Right?

Of course, he's currently training for the Welsh rugby team waiting until he realises that we're meant to be. We can all kid ourselves that this is the case or we can accept that the likelihood is Mr Right drifted past us while we were too caught up with Mr Wrong Wrong Wrong.

Now where Mr Right is a metaphor, Mr Wrong is all too real.

He comes in all shapes and forms and more often than not he is cleverly disguised as Mr Right; he says all the right things and even treats you right for a while. This imposter Mr Right is the worst Mr Wrong of all.

But sometimes you know Mr Wrong is wrong. He's got a reputation of being a bit of an Ashley Cole, your friends warn you off and he's about as legit and trustworthy as David Cameron; your guts' telling you no and so is everyone else but for some ridiculous and annoying reason, he is irresistable.

If I could identify what it was about these Mr Wrongs that makes them so irresistible then I promise you that for the good of womankind, I would bottle it up and hurl it into the Red Sea never to be found again.

They're just like Dominoes pizza. We all know it's bad for us so why is it so tempting? Why does it taste so bloody good at the time? Because the guilt and regret afterwards is almost not worth it.

Yet while we pine over them, it's highly likely that potential Mr Rights are slipping us by while we're too caught up in the hope that Mr Wrong is going to change into Mr Right overnight. He is not.

Now I love a romcom as much as the next 21-year old but I also know that they often portray a ridiculous and completely unrealistic message that no matter what happens, Ryan Gosling will realise that he is madly in love with us and sweep us off our feet to love us forever ever - and all in 90-minutes flat.

However I think one has a completely valid message. If a guy wants to be with you, he will make it known, he will make the effort and ultimately he will be with you. If that isn't they case then the best thing we can do is stop kidding ourselves and realise that maybe he's just not that into you. It sounds harsh but sometimes we owe it to ourselves to forget what we want and remember what we deserve.

Anyway ladies, the moral of this story is if you're looking for Mr Right, stop chasing Mr Wrong, stop looking for Mr Right Now and start looking at what might just be right in front of you.

& maybe, just maybe this will help me to start taking my own bloody advice.
