I have a few single friends who are absolutely terrified of dating apps. They hate them with a passion and are physically stressed at the suggestion of using them.

With research showing that millennials spend an astonishing 10 hours per week on dating apps alone, it’s high time for the return of meeting people in real life, and for the “meet cute” era to re-establish itself. It’s time for the endless swiping left, swiping right, with no foreseeable end to be put aside. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, many of us…

Shock, horror – people have sex and sometimes even with precautions in place, we find ourselves in need of emergency contraception. What’s troubling with this, however, is that still, in 2018, taking emergency contraception…
