It's been six months and things are going well. You've had the conversations and things are official, you're exclusive and happy. On a date night you take a great selfie snap and realise that there's nothing stopping you sharing it online with your friends and family. So, what's stopping you? This was the sort of...

DD Reviews – The Four Thieves
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 →
When you know
I walked into the bar. There was a feel about the place, as if the universe had been waiting for me to be there are that exact moment on that exact day. Something exciting was going to happen. I looked over and was transfixed. Instantly I knew I had to have her. The thought of... Continue Reading →

Let’s discuss your intentions
I've recently mentioned that I've joined a local group for single people, and it continues to throw up some real gems. After recently being told that I should effectively read every word of a book before judging whether or not I like it, next up was being told how quickly to test the depth of... Continue Reading →
All I want for Christmas
2017 was a year of firsts for me. A year of changes. If I'd been asked at the end of 2016 what the year ahead would've been, I would have said it would have been better. Better than a tough end to the year financially speaking. Better in terms of available time, as children grew... Continue Reading →
