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,…
For some reason, many men are under the impression that it’s really hard to make a woman happy. 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…

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…
