I was up the other night until ungodly hours of the morning obsessively binging on a Netflix series called "Dirty John". I haven't been hooked on a show since Game of Thrones but it was honestly so gripping! Based on a true crime story, it's about a manipulative, sociopathic con man who uses dating sites [...]

Intuition or paranoia?
How do you tell the difference between intuition and paranoia? I have wondered this so much myself and I like to think I have an answer. Before I throw my thoughts out there, let me provide the definitions as they are remotely not the same thing… yet somehow many people manage to confuse the two. [...]
Platonic friendships: Can men and women really just be friends?
When it comes to this burning question, there are all sorts of views, some may even have an anecdote to share. In the 1989 movie, “When Harry Met Sally”, the writer Nora Ephron was exploring the exact question, “Can men and women be friends?” According to Harry (played by Billy Crystal), men and women can’t be friends [...]
Does size really matter? Time to break it down…
I know, I know. It's an old, classic question but it doesn't make it any less relevant right? So let's start with a bit of context... Why does our culture make such a big deal about the size? For years we've place so many unrealistic body standards on both men and women. Where size is [...]
Love, lust or attachment?
With 80 billion cells and various chemicals in our brain, it's no wonder why feelings and emotions are so hard to decipher. I'm sure we've all experienced a time when we've met someone and felt instantly drawn to them. It's common to feel a variety of sensations including nervousness, excitement, an adrenaline rush, anxiety, an increased [...]
The courage to forgive.
It's easy to fall into a pit of despair, bitterness and grief when we've been deeply hurt. After someone has wronged us, the thought of forgiving them seems elusive. Where relationships are concerned, if we've been the victim of cheating, mental/physical abuse, being lied to or put up with toxic behaviour; these events will naturally [...]
Red flags: some people aren’t looking for love, they’re looking for help.
If I were to sit down and have a conversation with myself say… 6 months into each of my relationships, I would not only advise on what characteristics I needed to work on as a person but firmly tell myself to open my goddamn eyes and take a good look at what’s waving right in [...]
Marriage or Mirage?
I’m not opposed to the idea of marriage. I'm just not bothered about it. I’m pleased for all my friends who have tied the knot and I hope they’re enjoying every moment of it… but the concept of marriage bears no significance to me, and I’ve held the same view since I was 16. Typically [...]
The grey area.
As much as I'd like them to be, most things in life are never black and white. I've discovered this is particularly true (more so over the last couple of years) when it comes to dating. The topic I'll be delving into for this post looks at that precise moment when you suddenly find yourself [...]
You used to be my cup of tea but I drink champagne now.
You know the ones that got kicked to the curb like... months ago, then have the audacity to come crawling back into your life on all fours? Yeah, so I got hit up with that “Hi stranger…” nonsense recently, and nothing could make my eyeballs roll any further back! It’s nice to think that these [...]
