We’ve all done it - agreed to something we’d rather not do. And confession time, how many of you out there have agreed to a date you rather wished you hadn’t? Lots I suspect. You don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings when they rock up with their phone number, suggesting Toy Story 3. So, [...]

So you’re at the bar on a night out and on the look out for available date material. Up comes an eye-catching specimen and you know they’ve made a beeline for you. This is it, this attractive looking person is about to open their mouth and sweep you off your feet with their wit, charm, [...]

We all like to make a good impression on a date, especially a first date with someone. It’s often the little things which later stick in the mind about a person - their manners, their nicely polished shoes, their aftershave.
So when it comes to being a memorable date (in a good way), here are some [...]

When deciding where to go on a date, many people simply think ‘pub’, ‘cinema’, ‘restaurant’ - and fair play to them. But how many of us really stop to think about the detail? By detail I mean the actual characteristics of the venue we’ve chosen - the atmosphere, the fixtures and fittings, the toilets - [...]

As with most things, there are more ways than one to view a double date. For a start, it depends on the configuration of the four of you - you might know all or none of the other three people on the date (…and as the occasion progresses, you might like all or none of [...]

When you think of a celebrity ‘dream date’, the classics come up time and time again - Brad Pitt (yawn!), David Beckham (enough football already), Johnny Depp (ok, I’ll forgive you).
But where’s the fun in that kind of list? ‘Think outside the box’ people always say, so I thought I’d dig a bit deeper into [...]

Almost all of us have thought about it, most of us have done it, but how many of us have considered online dating and though ‘urgh, no!’? Probably quite a few, which is a shame, considering just how many couples find each other online and stay together for better for worse, for richer for poorer [...]

It’s true we all put a lot of emphasis on ‘the first date’. Meeting someone for the first time can be fun, daunting, scary or all three of the above! I’m thinking most first dates probably happen over a drink; for the more adventurous, maybe food.
There, you’ve met each other – the big hurdle [...]

Firstly, I confess, I’m no fashion icon myself. My wardrobe isn’t exactly at the cutting edge of design. In fact, I can hear that much-loved phrase ‘darling, you’re not on trend’ hurled squarely in my direction before I’ve even set foot out the door.
However, I feel I can still have a good stab at [...]

Dating is a battlefield at the best of times - it can be hard enough meeting someone new that doesn’t have a secret troll collection - but the real difficulties come once you’ve met the potential ‘one’. You want them to know you’re interested, but you don’t want to appear desperate, you want to call, [...]
