Seduced by the sound of it

Music means everything to me, and I have started to notice a little pattern with the guys that I’m attracted to lately – they are all musicians. [Read more]

There’s no skirting the art of flirting

THE art of flirting is something we would all like to master, but modern technology has simplified things and complicated them.

We all know girls who are born flirts. You know, the kind who naturally gravitate to the opposite sex and then command their undivided attention with a few bats of their eyelashes and the boost of a Wonderbra. [Read more]

Kissing in public is ok – isn’t it?

WHEN you are a teenager in love, if you feel like kissing and hugging, it really doesn’t matter where you are. At the beach, on the train station, on a dance floor, it’s all for glory.

But as an adult, the rules of engagement are a little different. Or are they? I was on a date recently that was going very well. We were getting along famously and he leaned in and kissed me. [Read more]

Does bad dress sense make you a slut?

I HAVE a big problem with a particular s-word that I find very nasty: “slut”.

She realised he wasn’t the man she thought he was, and that possibly she had looked at him through rose- coloured glasses while on that “high” that comes with falling in love. [Read more]

Sex: the perfect end to a beautiful friendship?

IT’S the old theme from the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally – can men and women really be just great friends without sex getting in the way?

I believe they can. I have several male companions who I have no interest in having a romance with, or sleeping with.

Many people seem to struggle with this, and friends often question my close male relationships asking me why I’m not with them, could I ever see myself with them, and even “when are you going to marry him?”. [Read more]
