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…
Survive and Thrive: Dating and Being Single is so much more than your ordinary self-help book. It’s an empowering step-by-step guide to building resilience, confidence and making the most of being single, loving yourself and learning to not only survive life alone, or after a breakup, but actually thrive and become a better, stronger, more exuberant you. The route to long-lasting…
Hi Never Settle I am in a new relationship and everything has been going well… that is until my boyfriend stumbled upon one of my sex toys, and ended up getting really angry about it. He says he absolutely hates them and finds the size of them threatening. I explained they don’t replace sex but every time it comes into…
Forget he’s just not that into you, what do you do when you’re not sure the girl you’re chasing likes you, or not? There are quite a few obvious red flags you need to keep an eye out when pursuing a woman. Woman generally find it harder rejecting men, so how do you know if she’s just not interested? What…
The world of dating is exciting, confusing and full of games, but how do you know when a guy actually likes you… like that? How can you tell if a guy is flirting with you, or just being nice? Flirting is a pretty fun game we play all the time with people we fancy. It can be pretty blatant, but also…
Why Do Men Get So Angry At Women When They Are (Nicely) Rejected? It happens more than people realise, and certainly more than women care to admit. At a party, bar, over messaging or dating apps. You’re just having a bit of fun or socialising and a man pays you some attention, maybe even a compliment. Being polite, you accept…
Hi Eve, I’ve had one of those mad realisations that you see in the movies. When the girl is in front of the boy she’s known forever as a friend and realises that, actually, she is meant to be with him. There was always bad timing – one of us or the other would be in relationships. Neither of…
So it’s nearly time to say goodbye to 2017, look back on the past year and, thankfully, move on to the new, fresh, clean slate that is 2018. Last year, in What 2016 Has Taught Me, I wrote that I’d had a year full of mistakes, achievements, hard decisions and sun-beaming-out-heart moments. That I had been graced with opportunity and…
It’s the dirty thought that counts… It’s the holiday season and what’s better for the single lady, or cosied up couple than adding a bit of spice to your cold, cold winter nights? If you’re a man struggling for gift ideas, or fancy treating yourself to the best gift a girl can get (infinite, unadulterated pleasure, duh!) then look no…
Let your imagination run wild and watch your relationship blossom with each new LoveDrop box… I’ve been super busy lately, working hard, blogging lots, exploring new ventures and sorting out everything on the run-up to Christmas! However, in the midst of this madness, I was lucky enough to be introduced to LoveDrop and the super lovely team behind it. What…
Since the age of 15, I’ve jumped from relationship to relationship. When I did have gaps, it wasn’t for very long (a year maximum), and even then I would be seeing people casually. I’ve had 3 serious relationships thus far in my short life, and one in particular was, in the end, a very unhappy one. In hindsight, or to…
Dear Never Settle, I feel stuck. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I feel like I’m giving my all to my relationship, I put my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t feel like I’m getting the same in return. It’s made me really irrational and insecure – which only makes me more irritated because that’s…
London in the winter is one of the most beautiful places: the buildings glow white against the cold white clouds and the crisp chill in the air means we have the perfect excuse to wrap up all snuggly, wandering the city in awe of the lights and attractions. Christmas is an incredibly romantic time, so what’s better than having a…
What is the key to being happy? It’s a question with a highly sought after answer. New data published last week from Dr. Tchiki Davis revealed that positive self-views (which emerge from self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-worth, among other things) was the best predictor of happiness. So why is thinking positively about ourselves such a massive component in our happiness, when there are so many other contributing factors,…
I had reason to believe something odd was happening. My girlfriend of nearly three years had started hanging around with a new guy friend and messaging him a lot. A little too much. When she went on nights out she stayed at his house, instead of with a number of the girl friends she had, or even me. We lived…
