How to celebrate your birthday as a single parent

Birthdays are strange things. They hold such promise on paper - the opportunity for fun surprises, thoughtful gifts and time spent with the people who care about you the most. They are a time for you all to reflect back on completing another trip around the sun, and to celebrate all the good things you... Continue Reading →

Confidence. Why the hell is it so sexy (in and out of the bedroom) and how can people fake it until they make it?

Confidence is sexy. I'd like to come up with a pithy or unique way of saying that, but more complex words simply wouldn't do it justice. A confident person is one of the most attractive people in a room, whoever else is in there. Looks (to a surprising degree) go out the window when... Continue Reading →

Being better, not bitter

It appears to be a truism, that after adultery the guilty party walks away winning, leaving their partner with no relationship, self-doubt, low self-esteem, trust issues and all sorts of other problems. There are pithier ways of saying it, but it's rarely the "victim" that comes out on top, at least in the short to... Continue Reading →

How to break up with someone

It's the hardest part of any relationship: the end. It takes a lot to decide that a relationship is over, and if both of you haven't come to the same conclusion at the same time then it's going to be tough. Having "The Talk" isn't something that is entered into lightly, at least not if... Continue Reading →

Taking advice

I am good at many things. Putting together flat pack furniture, cunnilingus, knowing the difference between your/you're and cooking beef wellington are amongst my skills, as is giving well thought out and useful advice to others on their dating issues. I am also bad at many things. Remembering to do household chores, not procrastinating, saving... Continue Reading →

Travelling with kids

I've recently returned from our first ever family holiday abroad. Back in the day we never had enough money to go away, but thanks to an extra commission payment I decided to go right ahead and do it. What's that? You think it was instead an excuse to blow my ex's trip to Butlins out... Continue Reading →

The Kill Email

I don't think I'm going to threaten my anonymity too much when I say that I work in sales in the tech sector. My role involves travelling around London and the South-East, meeting prospects and clients and trying to get them to buy things from my company. It really helps that I genuinely believe in...

I found a lump

There are titles to blog posts that are funny. Some which are cryptic and entice the reader to click the link and find out what exactly is it about number five that they simply won't believe. Then there are the ones which are blunt, to the point and outline the content. This helps SEO apparently,... Continue Reading →

Not a dating n00b

Like many people, it's easy for me to fall into feeling imposter syndrome. For those few of you who may not be familiar with it (lucky you), it's a sense that you are an imposter at something and that any minute everyone will find out and expose you. For me it's a massive part of... Continue Reading →

Why Men Should Blog

I know this isn't the first time I've said it, but I love a bit of Twitter. Not only do you get to see some top-drawer shenanigans go on, but you also occasionally stumble onto some viewpoints which you would never normally be exposed to. Such a thing happened recently, when I found myself involved... Continue Reading →
