THE STORY OF MY LIFE *AHEM* I MEAN, NEVER SETTLE

I think the first thing to know about Never Settle is that I (the creator of this corner of the internet) bladdy love talking about dating and relationships. I swear it runs through my veins. Nothing is too heavy, too hard 😉 or too taboo. You have a question or collaboration to do with sexual or mental health, a dating dilemma or a tough relationship issue? Well, you’re in luck, lovely, cause that’s my specialty.

So whatcha want to know? I guess, “how does one fall into writing a blog about relationships?”, ey?

Well, truth be told, I never started my blog with the intention of writing solely about dating, sex, relationships and millennial lifestyle. Actually, Never Settle was founded in October 2014, as it’s original conception of “Eve’s Blog” (revolutionary name, right?) six months after I came out of a 4-year toxic relationship. I wanted to write about my newfound issues, my personal dilemmas of Modern Dating, and contribute my little bit to anyone who would listen, of how not to make the same mistakes as me. 

Rewind to 6 months prior: I was blind to the toxicity of my longterm, teenage relationship and I thought it was normal. When I eventually started to question if this is what I wanted, it still took me six months to pluck up the courage to end things! I constantly questioned if I was making the right choice: no one would love me again, what if I never found anyone?? All my insecurities would have to be addressed in a new relationship – can I start from scratch?

I’d Google, “what to do if you’re not sure you love your partner, but don’t want to be alone”, and once I was single, and finding the new Dating Game really hard, “why doesn’t the guy I fancy like me back?”, and honestly? It wasn’t much help. I needed something that wasn’t there.

SO I decided to create it. My blog morphed into a honest, confidence-building go-to of what to do when dating, in a relationship, breaking up, having sex, have mental health issues… you name it, I wanted to properly help people with it.

Entering the dating game, I learnt a lot. From commitment-phobes, new dating apps, one-night stands, ‘labels’, fuckboys, to my then long-distance relationship, I have developed a love of relationship and dating psychology, how men and women work – and how to genuinely get what you want whilst dating, by accepting and loving yourself.

So now we’re at a point where, with a focus on millennial women, Never Settle focuses on specific content to promote women’s health, dating and love life, as well as offering support in all areas of relationships for both men and women.

Nowadays, Never Settle pushes the latest trends to the forefront of discussion, tackling controversial and taboo subjects head on, and looks to provide a range of outcomes and a way of achieving them, based on a mixture of personal experience and extensive psychological and sociological research. I’ve even got my own ASK EVE section where I accept all your anonymous questions, and podcast…

My blog wasn’t created to complain, gloat or judge anyone, it’s there as a tool for anyone who wants to make themselves happier, better informed and ultimately more confident in their love lives.

It is based on the belief that we only get one life, and you owe it to yourself to be happy. Never settle just because it feels comfortable or safe or that you’ll never find anyone else. Take risks, take chances, be brave because you DESERVE to feel unconditionally loved. 

SOME OF MY FAVOURITE BLOG POSTS

I’ve been so lucky to work with some amazing brands on some really hard-hitting, or just plain fun campaigns. These include those for Lloyds Pharmacy, LELO, Ann Summers (some of my favourite sex toys), EllaOne, and Bijoux Indiscrets.

Personally, I really enjoy writing direct relationship and dating advice, out of the 250+ posts I’ve written (!!) it was hard to whittle down to just a few, but some of my particular favourite posts I’ve written are:

A TINSY BIT ABOUT ME, THE EVE GREENOW IN EVEGREENOW.COM – (IF YOU’RE NOT ASLEEP YET)

Ahhh well, I am a twenty-something year old chatterbox, with an obsession with London’s architecture (on my Instagram) and helping people romantically (if you hadn’t already guessed).

Upbeat, optimistic and could talk for England, I love meeting new people and am always willing to have a chat for an hour or five. Although my quirkiness is apparent as soon as you meet me, I am also extremely ambitious, hard-working and determined, I have many passions that I love to pursue and make the most of everyday.

I am currently LOVING being a Film Marketing Manager in London, full time, which I’ve worked hard over the last 8 years to pursue.

In 2020 I embarked on my extracurricular ambition to become a fully qualified CPCAB counsellor, passing my first course in March. I will be continuing my counselling journey and hope it will only enhance the support I can give both on Never Settle and in real life. 

Before this I studied Film and Television at the tiniest but best town in the UK, the University of Aberystwyth, Wales. I love photography, painting, film-making (I used to want to be a film editor!), writing and all things creative.
