Insecurity is responsible for the large majority of problems in relationships. Knowing how to stop being insecure in a relationship can save it. Insecurity is the feeling inside of uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence and feeling inadequate. Believe me, we’ve all felt it at one time or another. But while it’s pretty normal to have moments of doubting…
In a world full of endless (and I mean endless) dating apps, all attempting to rival the top dogs Tinder and Bumble, for a single person, it can feel a little bit like drowning in an endless pit of monotonous conversations and meaningless swiping. It’s the same old same old, we swipe and swipe and swipe, have to come up…
The great thing about growing up: we learn more about ourselves, become independent, learn to be comfortable with who we are. But one thing we generally get worse at with age, is our ability to make new friends. The topic of how to meet new people as an adult has come up many times recently in conversations I’ve had. It…
Be Sextraordinary. Get the glow inside and out with your very own Positive Vibe. On Wednesday 14th March, Never Settle was kindly invited to the launch of Lovehoney’s brand new sex toy range Positive Vibes, in the gorgeous WAH nails in Soho, London.

Back in January I was completely stunned to receive an email from the best and biggest blog publication – the fabulous Blogosphere Magazine. They had picked me to be in their Issue #16 In The Spotlight bloggers! First off, I was lucky to be picked from over 400 bloggers to be featured in the Top 10 bloggers, but to make things…
When your heart is breaking, it really can feel like the world around you is crashing down. No pain you’ve experienced before has felt so excruciating or intense. You can’t think, concentrate, eat, sleep or breathe properly. It seems like someone has body slammed into you, leaving you feeling like you’ll never be okay again. You weep, you sob, you…
International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th March every year, to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history and across all nations. The past year has been one of #MeToo and #Timesup, which became worldwide phenonmenon. A year in which London Mayor Sadiq Khan described the gender pay gap in the capital as “unacceptable” after he revealed figures showing…
One of the most used new millennial terms: fuckboy. Any gal who has waded through the swamp of dating knows that in today’s world, the chances of meeting a fuckboy is about the same as walking past a Pret-A-Manger in central London. Fuckboy is the new term for a bad guy: but it’s not just the 90’s ‘bit of a rebel’ kind of bad-boy,…

On the contrary, it’s actually super simple, and there are a few ways which you may not have thought about… Making a woman happy really isn’t as hard as you think. Yes, we’re complex creatures, we have a variety of different personalities,…
Hi Eve I have just read your article on high functioning depression and feel like I can relate to it. Just before Christmas my boyfriend of 18 months walked out on our relationship completely out of the blue. We were in a blissfully happy relationship. Sadly in October he lost his grandfather very suddenly. It was around this time that…
Recently arriving on Netflix in the UK, the TV show Friends is undergoing something of a revival at the moment. More than a decade after the finale aired (and more than two decades since the show began), the show is still fondly remembered by millions. One of the most famous plot points on the decade-long will-they-won’t-they storyline of Ross and Rachel’s…
A long distance relationship isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s not for those scared of effort or commitment. It’s emotionally draining, heart-wrenching and ultimately not an ideal scenario for a budding romance. But it can work, and it can be worth it. The biggest learning curve from being in a long distance relationship, is that you shouldn’t have one just because you have…
Hi Eve, I’ve been with my current boyfriend now for about 8 months, we met on Tinder and things (for the most part) have been going great. In the early few months of being together things were pretty bad, I suffer from depression and he from bipolar, so needless to say, when arguments did happen, they happened big. I love…
It’s the day singletons dread. You’ve made it through Christmas and New Year’s. Now here’s the day where vomit-inducing cards line shop windows and little hearts decorate just about everything in sight. It’s the time of bumped up restaurant prices, stupid cuddly toys and a mass of ‘date night with this one’ posts clogging up your usually meme-ridden news feeds.…
With more singletons in the capital than ever before in history, are we the generation living in fear of a Happily Never After? I read an article the other day, from 35-year old author, Emily Hill. She retold one particularly bad London date (of many) she has experienced. It lasted a brief period, the guy wasnt great and it ended…
Valentine’s Day invites us to celebrate the love between two people, making us forget for a moment that the key to successful love is within ourselves! Valentine’s Day is coming, and the universe insists on celebrating how very loved up we are. Or in reminding us that we aren’t in love, but we were a year ago. Or simply that love…
I was super excited to collaborate with my amazingly kind and wonderful fellow dating blogger, Tinderella Worldwide on this post. After originally discussing at the UK Dating Awards 2017, together we have racked our dating blogger brains and come up with some of the top ways to get through a breakup like a complete boss. Breaking up is possibly one…
Today is Time to Talk Day. It’s a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives. Mental illness still has a massive stigma attached to it, which we as a society are hyper-aware of. Personally, I hate talking about my mental health, especially out loud. But what I’ve…
It’s the classic fairy-tale story. Cinderella walks into the room and catches the eye of the prince. His jaw drops. He falls madly, crazily, (implausibly?) in love at first sight. But surely love at first sight is just for cute children’s stories, right? Wrong. New evidence suggests that actually, yes, love at first sight is a real thing… Two unrelated…
