One night stands, if we instigate them, actually improves our confidence. It proves to ourselves that we still have that ‘magic’ and not al has gone to waste.
!
In addition to this these encounters can be highly sexual and therefore all sorts of positive chemical things happen inside us. Take yourself back to the experience for a moment, in the morning you feel naughty… but in a good way, especially if they are a league above you. If they are a few leagues below your standard, then there is still a strange sensation of achievement, but saying that we can also feel physically sick at the thought of it!
So, one night stands should be part of a singleton’s life, BUT be very careful to practice safe sex. I heard a shocking fact the other day which said that only 20% of women who have had a one night stand carry a condom. This is imperative and your health comes first

Money matters and stresses are the most common reasons for breaking up. It’s got a lot to answer for! It’s one of those subjects that we tend to ignore up until the last minute when it’s all to late. Many couples are in denial about their financial situations, hoping that the other is in control.
In a serious relationship (living together or married) then you need to be 100% honest with each other and work out what works for you. It may be that you split all straight down the line equally (preferable to most couples), otherwise you need to both not hide from each other the level of debt and income you bring to a relationship. If you do this then you can be sure of a good basis for a relationship, and a friend in your partner if you want to discuss.
Never ignore things like bills, work together to sort them out. Not only does it bring you closer BUT you resolve issues that could potentially break you up.

Being stood up is possibly the one single most disrespectful thing you can do to a date. That guy sitting in the corner holding a rose, big smile and keeps turning the waiter away and looking at his watch is going through hell!
What should he do? Get up and go, or hang on in the hope his date has been held up by something pretty serious. Put yourself in their situation for a brief moment… horrible!
So why do people do it? Well, there are a couple of reasons:
They lose their nerve and panic about meeting someone new.
Normally nervous people with little dating experience. Not a lot you can do to avoid this apart from ensure they know you are feeling the same way and there’s no pressure.
They check you out first without you knowing and don’t like what they have seen.
This can be avoided by giving people up to date photos of yourself (and vice versa). Nothing worse than someone thinking they are meeting someone 10 years younger. Also, be sure to look good!

A question many divorcees ask themselves. Divorce is very rarely easy and at least one party (if not both) is bound to feel lonely and a desire to get life back on track.
But how long should I leave it? What’s socially acceptable?
Well, if you are the party that didn’t run off with that Italian waiter or your secretary then the answer is – whenever you feel ready for it.
‘Well when will I feel ready for it and how will I know?’ I hear you say. The answer lies within YOU and should certainly not e forced. Trust me, you will know.
