Here’s a question you should ask your next date, “are you single single?” So what does this mean? I’ll break it down for you (if it’s not already obvious), and then we’ll have some fun disparaging those who play the field while leading people on. So essentially this question is designed to double check if your next date is actually ready to meet someone for a real relationship, or whether they’re... Source ..read more

My friend asked me to write this blog after eating a curry before a date. She thinks it was the garlic naan that kept repeating on her. Now, this CAN be manageable with some chewing gum and some misdirection, as you turn your head strategically to release a little garlic puff down-wind. But it’s not comfortable, and it might be obvious if it keeps repeating,….we’ve all been there. Source ..read more

For some people dating becomes a habit. A pattern which becomes addictive. It’s the ultimate ‘thrill of the chase’, where you land the date, charm your counterpart, make them like you, and then go again looking for the next hit.

To expand on the slightly adjusted lyrics of Beyonce in the title of this blog, if you like someone enough you shouldn’t be afraid to put a label on your relationship. There’s nothing worse than a person who dodges the act of ‘making it official’ for months on end. It shows a lack of commitment and confidence in the relationship. Now there’s probably some people reading this saying “what’s the... Source ..read more

What is it when you feel a spark with someone? How is this elusive chemical reaction generated between two people? Everyone seems to be looking for it on the first date, and if they don’t get it, they’re done…hence the expression “I didn’t feel the spark”. I can’t tell you how to generate the spark, but I can tell you how to be in the best frame of mind to let it ignite naturally. I’ll set about... Source ..read more

Have you ever told someone that you like them, and it marks the death knell of the relationship? It’s a cruel counter-intuitive outcome of the dating game. You would think that if two people are dating it means they like each other to some degree regardless, so what is the problem with verbalising it? The problem is that it signifies the end of the chase, and some people are at a point in their... Source ..read more

Now I don’t want to go back too far on this subject, but there was obviously a time when a man’s pulling power was directly related to the size of his club, and his cave didn’t have to be overlooking Sydney harbour in order to impress. Times have certainly changed and now dating is a delicate game of cat and mouse, with each party trying to pretend that they don’t like the other too much... Source ..read more
