There are many things that make a date venue ideal. Somewhere relatively easy to get to, with lots of people around but without being crowded. Somewhere with good drink options but where it doesn't feel pretentious, and with enough of a twist to make it all interesting and give you something to do if conversation... Continue Reading →
Advice for people new to dating
There are many reasons why someone might be new to the dating scene. They might only be just dipping the toe in the water for the first time, or maybe they've come out of a long term relationship, or perhaps they've been frozen in carbonite for a hundred years and are only just being thawed...

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 →
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.

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...

Tips for living alone
Living alone is a very different experience from living with someone else. Some people live with housemates until they find a romantic partner to cohabit with, some live at home with mummy and daddy forever and some simply go straight into living with their partner from the start. It's for a variety of reasons that... Continue Reading →
The Douche Dating Guide
Women. Birds. Chicks. Call them what you want, all guys want one (or more than one, fellas, amiright?!). As well as being useful around the house once they're caught and domesticated, they look lovely and are great to have around when you need a certain type of itch scratched. (Sex. That means having sex.) Us... Continue Reading →
