Opening The Ex-File
There’s a saying that states an ex is an ex for a reason, but on reflection is it a good enough reason to keep you away if time has passed? I’m certainly not advocating serious reasons where they is no trust due to cheating, and you get back with that same person that turned [...]
Love and ‘The Beautiful Game’
Tuesday evenings have fast become ‘date night’ in the sickeningly cute coupled-up bubble that has recently become my home. With both of us having such busy work schedules and diaries that need a-keeping, we try our best to make sure that we have that one night of the week together to do something nice. It [...]
Can A Psychic Fix Your Love Life?
In a darkened room adorned with sparkly dream-catchers and velvet curtains, a woman dressed in purple sits at a small wooden table with a crystal ball. She wears a headscarf, hooped earrings and plenty of clunky jewellery. She talks in riddles, quoting mysterious but generic statements that could be twisted to apply to most people [...]
Time To Fill The Glass Up
Watching the news tonight it hit me – we Brits are never bloody happy. First it was a plea for more rainfall from an Anglian Water representative, as despite the incessant deluge, we are still ‘in drought’. Then the weather forecaster informed us just how much rain is to come. But this juxtaposition made me [...]
Can A Relationship Be In The Red?
If A-Level Psychology taught me anything it’s that relationships function on a system of input and output (or a balance system, to use the right term!) and it is when that system becomes disturbed that problems will arise in the relationship. A simple explanation that seems to make perfect sense. The one thing that [...]
Standard Issues?
Too tall, too short, too old or too blonde? Just some of the reasons I’ve been known to turn down potential dates in the past. Before giving the impression of being someone who is more fussy than you can believe, there was also someone who resembled Sergei from the Compare the Meerkat adverts. Oh and [...]
When To Keep Your Mouth Shut
I greatly insulted my boyfriend yesterday. Rightly so I suspect. It was Facebook yet again, which may be one of the 21st century’s most evil inventions; turning women across the globe into crazed, photo-obsessed stalker-holics. It was mid-stalk that an image of my ex-boyfriend popped up with a new girl in his profile picture. A [...]
Love Is A Four Letter Word
Not just literally, that is. So far as I’m concerned, also in the sense that it’s not one I either want or need to hear about. Sometimes it seems there are two kinds of people out there: those who spend their lives bouncing from one relationship to another and those who are happy without the [...]
At What Age Can We Stop Calling Someone A Boyfriend?
The process used to be boyfriend, fiancé, husband. It was much simpler in some ways – sometimes families arranged the match (both good and bad) and you were encouraged to uphold your vows by society. But nowadays it seems to be boyfriend (s), fiancé, husband, rebound, toyboy, partner. Marriage just doesn’t seem to mean forever [...]
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Bono’s classic hits just the right note for my thoughts tonight. Whilst I may not have run through the fields or scaled these city walls to be with a guy, travelling on the tube to Outer Mongolia (or Zone 6, whichever you prefer) is an indication that I am willing to put in some effort [...]
The Relationship Condom
When we become teenagers our sexual hormones begin to kick in. This can be a very confusing time for most adolescents. The girls are having to come to terms with the idea of inserting a stick of cotton wool into themselves once a month and the boys just cant understand why every time they’re on [...]
Right Man For The Job
Applying for a job is similar to searching for that perfect man. You spend hours hunting for the one that excites you, and ask every step of the way if you see a future between the two of you. But while companies and potential employers grill you more than a George Foreman about your past [...]
A Plethora Of Options = Indecisive
Or perhaps the title should be, are white socks enough of a reason not to see someone again? Too many options means decisions are difficult. It’s too easy to bin someone for the smallest things as you imagine better is around the corner. I should probably explain the reasoning behind my milk-churned thoughts [...]
We Found Love In a Hopeless Place…
If I hear the phrase “love will come along when you least expect it” one more time, I think I’m going to scream. Okay I know it is true for some people, but for me I don’t think there has been a less useful phrase – it’s almost as bad as “stop looking for love [...]
Pigging Out On Data
Happy Easter all, I hope your extended weekend was as religious / chocolate-y as you hoped it would be. Given that Easter weekend is synonymous with overindulgence and gluttony, I find myself reflecting on the fact that not only are we a nation of over eaters in the traditional sense, we are also overstuffed with… [...]
Gambling is (apparently) a sin
When you have been single for a while, it seems you are no longer living ‘the single life’; you become the lifestyle it self. Your time and energy might be split between numerous responsibilities such as work, university, friends, family, (Facebook) but fundamentally your time is your own. Your schedule is timed around only [...]
Hope, happiness and self-belief… at the click of a mouse
Joining match.com via week subscription to an iPhone app has made me reconsider online dating. The people on there are very different to my first site – a much wider range of people. It’s made me think quite a bit about the whole process. Maybe online dating isn’t just about the other person. Maybe it’s about [...]
Relationships are like ecstasy, are they really worth it once the buzz has gone?
A new relationship can feel as exciting as that tingly rush of ‘coming up’. A long and stable relationship can feel as comfortable as those gurney conversations you have with complete strangers as though you’ve known them forever. And NOTHING is better than the drug induced dancing like no one is watching, so for the [...]
The Only Way Isn’t Essex – Or Your Ex
I never thought I’d say this, but I really feel for Lauren Goodger. Having watched the first two seasons of TOWIE, I wasn’t a fan. I know it’s all in the editing, but she really struck me as an insecure selfish bitch. I thought she just needed to get over her ex and stop saying [...]
Defeating “Mr Big”
“For you I’d keep my legs apart, and forget about my tainted heart…” Lykke Li The partner who you know is just so bad for you. They’re that “one more drink” that you regret with the morning hangover, the takeaway pizza you eat to cure it, that extra sugar you treat yourself to in your [...]
