Don’t Indulge in the Blame & Shame Game
A few days ago, I spent about an hour catching up with one of my closest friends who lives overseas. Amongst the many things we have in common, we share a chequered dating past. Between the two of us we managed to date some really atrocious men! We’ve both had our dark moments and we both readily admit that it took quite a while to get over our worst choices and betrayals, but do you know what? We were in hysterics laughing as we ‘reminisced’.

Epiphany Relationships
Throughout your dating and relationship history, you’ve ended relationships and felt that whatever had happened had galvanised change, only for you to find yourself in a similar or worse situation all over again. But if you have truly experienced self-defining, life galvanising change as a result of a relationship, you have experienced an Epiphany Relationship.

Conscious Relationships
As someone who has had more bad dates and dodgy boyfriends than I care to remember, I used to think that I was having an extended period bad luck where I seemed to mysteriously attract men that were unworthy of my time and energy. A number of incidences and realisations made me realise that I [...]
Be a Happy Single
If you really are going to be a happy single, you have to stop treating being single as the annoying time that you pass between relationships and embrace it. Rather than focusing on what you lack, focus on what you have: You.
One of the dangers of treating singledom as if it is a great misfortune, [...]
