An Ex is Always An Ex for a Reason – Right?

You have seen it, done it, got the t-shirt, DVD, mp3 and even the podcast. You know the path already trodden; you know the bumps, the grassy verges and the dark alleys. So why is it you would ever go back to the path once ventured? No, I’m not telling you in around about way that I’ve joined a walking club … I’m talking about remaining friends or even getting back with your ex-partner. Of course I was keen to see what the population thought about this, well the social networking population anyway! Which let’s face it; it counts for well more than half of the world these days. The results showed one thing: women…

Different sort of Valentines Day Romance

We’ve just got over the Christmas hype and up springs another annual event to send us into a spending frenzy… yep, you’ve guessed it, Valentines Day. Another commercial date set to line retailers and social enterprise’s pockets. But it’s inevitable; if you’re in love you’re going to spend a packet being romantic along with the rest of the attached souls. But forget cuddly soft toys and dinner by candle light, why not try something a little bit out of the ordinary… Dark Dining Forget gazing lovingly into one another’s eyes over dinner, Dan La Noir is seated entirely in the dark. The waiters that serve you are all actually blind so have no problem with…

Facebook Poke Dating

A friend of a friend added me on Facebook and it all started with a poke- one which woke me up at 3am by text! If it had been a random man knocking me up at that time and attempting to poke me, the police would have been the first to know. However it’s online, so it’s all just a bit of fun right? I use to compare the dating world to a jungle but that was until online dating moved up the food chain, and now I compare it to a psychiatric ward. Online dating through Facebook seems to be more and more popular due to our busy lifestyles and to be blunt our…

How Women Work?

How do women work? The old age question! It fascinates me how scientists have continued to search for the answer. Just like most questions, they usually have many answers depending on how you ask them. Asking this question is like asking how the earth came about, there are so many theories and possible answers but just when you think you have found the correct one- another theory pops up! I have to say although being female (last time I looked anyway) even I struggle to figure out our mysterious kind. I will say though in our defence, we have been blamed in the bible, dragged in caves, not allowed to vote, paid less and to…

Breaking the Ice on a First Date!

Breaking the ice on a first date . . .or should that be, blowing up the Titanic enemy the ‘iceberg’ on a first date? I have been on some frightful dates where I have ended up whistling the great escape tune whilst climbing out of the toilet window. I have had others that have just talked about themselves and even called me another name. Although I have had very successful ones where 1-2 hours (recommended date time) have turned into 4-5 hours. No matter whether you have a good or bad experience, first dates are always nerve racking! I will say two words though: FIRST IMPRESSIONS! You have 60 seconds to make it and with…
