How is the One Night Stand Perceived?
It’s 2 am. It’s Friday night and the only thing you’ve had down your throat this evening is vodka tonics and the dirty blonde who’s name you don’t care to remember. The bar is ready to close up soon but the two of you are not done partying. The choice is a bag of chips [...]
Female Intuition
Mine has led me a merry dance down all sorts of pathways over the years. I would have to say that 95% of the time my female intuition is always right. I cannot substantiate why, but then I guess that would defeat the object of being intuitive lol! So what is this feeling that has [...]
Boys & Girls
I glimpse at my phone, he’s texted me. No butterflies, no skipped heartbeat, no waiting at least twenty minutes to read and a further 22 minutes and 30 seconds (or something) to reply. I pick my phone up ‘yeah, come over in 10… I haven’t washed by the way’ my fingers quip. No I haven’t [...]

How Far Would You Go For The One You Love?
How far is too far? Is there such a thing? It’s one thing following your man to the pub when he wants to watch football and you want to be seen as the ‘supportive girlfriend’. It’s another thing perhaps when he wants you to follow him to the other ends of the earth. To another [...]
The Dating Diary of Miss X – Chapter 10
I met Mr French at 11 am and he collected me from the Hotel Reception. I was quite nervous prior to meeting him: what if I didn’t fancy him and I’ve booked 2 nights in this Hotel plus I knew we’d be travelling to his place near Cannes towards the weekend. What if I didn’t [...]
Choosing a Guy
Options are always good, right? Having the free will to make informed decisions and make a choice.

Love or Dependancy?
Being in love sucks, and I remember quoting to a friend recently that it makes you weak and exposed, debate how you wish! Yes, arguably there are also some benefits to being in that euphoric, can’t live without state, but I now start to question is it love or is it dependency? Have I been [...]

Time to Walk?
A positive relationship can be an enhancing source of optimism, appreciation and love, however once the honeymoon period subsides and the testing period comes into play, it can also be a breeding ground for contempt, anger, depression, anxiety and unhappiness.

First Date Alter Egos
First dates are like interviews.
