A woman has poked fun at her dating fails over the past year with a hilarious Spotify Wrapped-style presentation.
This week many of us will have rushed to our Spotify apps to find out which artists and songs have ruled over our last 12 months as part of the music streaming platform's annual Spotify Wrapped, which gives you a unique insight into your listening habits. And one woman decided to use the buzz around the viral trend and put her own spin on it, by looking back at the dating fails and highlights she's been through in 2023 - which included more than 20 kisses and three romances.

The insurance adviser gave each of the men she met their own slide, where she also detailed how their romance ended.
She went all out with the data, using graphs and pie charts to illustrate the facts and figures of the past year of her love life. And although Katie will end 2023 as a single woman, she said she feels ready to put herself out there more in 2024 and wants a man who will "chase" her.
Katie, from Coventry, said: "My dating history is horrific. I went on a date last year and he asked me to be his dominatrix. This year I've dated three guys and been on two dates. They all started off great - like a three-day trial period. But it's been a s**t show. Next year I want someone chasing and worshipping the ground I walk on."

The woman went on her first date of the year in June after she met a bloke on Tinder, but said their relationship was doomed from the start because he told her he was "looking to move to Australia". She then found another man on Instagram, but he cancelled their second date for "family reasons".

But she did enjoy more than 20 kisses in 12 months (Katie O’Brien / SWNS)She explained: "[The first date] went well but then he said he was looking to move to Australia. The second one followed me on Instagram. We got nattering. He took me to Cosy Club and Las Iguanas and he paid. I was being wined and dined. Then he cancelled our second date for family reasons. Then we went for a milkshake at McDonalds but the next day told me he wasn't ready for a relationship."
Katie then tried to set up a third date in November, but the bloke blocked her just days before the date without ever telling her why. Despite having no luck in the romance department this year, Katie has still enjoyed more than 20 kisses - including a whirlwind experience with multiple men while on holiday in Benidorm, Spain.
She confessed: "Everything happens for a reason. I'm quite confident in myself. If it comes at me now before the New Year - I'll hiss at them. My mates say I can be too much. I give more energy than they give me. I'm going to hold back a bit more next year."
