What worked and what didn’t? While a break up hurts particularly after a long relationship, you will have a lot of positive memories as well as the negative ones you are replaying right now. It is a good idea to be dispassionate and try to figure out what went wrong and if you contributed to [...]

Would you ever date your gynaecologist?
Amazingly an acquaintance of mine, who was on an online dating site, did exactly that. The man smiling at her from over the blue ”modesty-covering” paper bedecking her lower half was also the man known to her only as ‘P’ online! Neither person had the slightest idea who the other was.
So did she go out [...]
Beware the PC Camera When Chatting Online
There I was on the dating site when I got a message inviting me to a ‘live chat’. That normally means typing away and swapping mails in realtime. Now the clever thing is that you can turn on your PC Cam if you wish and look at each other face to face. Now I look [...]

A three-hour date with a movie that lasts two and a half-hours is not a good way to get to know each other.
Then again, you don’t want to be stuck staring at each other without a topic of conversation.
A daytime meeting takes the heat off and a shortish one over a coffee or lunch is [...]
A Million Ways To Show Your Love
How do you show your other half that you love them? Is it flowers and chocolates or perhaps a special meal out at MacDonalds (joking). Now I am not belittling anything that you do because there are many of us out there who don’t receive any appreciation at all. What I would consider are the [...]
