When you join an online dating service, you are looking for a girl that you can like…even come to love. That girl is looking for a guy that SHE can like or even love. What you aren’t looking for is a girl who would like your best friend or your idea of what the perfect [...]

Do they make you laugh?
For me personally, this is the most important thing in all relationships including my own. Looks will fade, fortunes fade and health suffer but a sense of humour remains constant.
A sense of humour is a very personal thing and someone who laughs at your jokes and who makes you laugh also is the one to [...]
You will know them straight away.
OK this doesn’t work for everybody but for some, love at first sight on a date is a reality. The secret when you do fall in love straight away is don’t take a gamble on being right and reveal your feelings immediately. If you take a bit of time and you are right then what [...]
Be yourself when dating
It must be tempting to reinvent yourself when you are hoping to meet someone new. Maybe you have decided what the ‘other’ person is looking for and decided to invent a persona to fit the bill. Are you going to become sophisticated or perhaps carry an air of mystery in order to attract that perfect [...]

You are naturally untidy. So untidy that the house gets a flick of a duster once a year and the pots get washed when there are no more pots available. Now oimagine you meet someone with a compulsive need to tidy fold the towels and iron the socks!

New for Old|Over 30 dating
Nearly all of us have had past liaisons that didn’t work out. Perhaps its one of these that sees us on an online dating site looking for that new person.
We are programmed as human beings to expect things in the future to work out pretty much as things did in the past. We are creatures [...]
Don’t be taken for granted
My pet peeve because this is one that has happened to me. Some people are great partners and some people are great takers. To start with it can be that work is shared, flowers appear and a romantic dinner out is a regular on the agenda. Fantastic news all round and a happy life ensues.

Be honest while you still can
We have all done things we regret in the past and don’t enjoy remembering. Maybe we are ashamed of ourselves and what we have been and done.
Nobody in their right mind goes on a first date with a book of confessions to inflict on a virtual stranger, but sooner or later, when you are happy [...]
