When I was younger I believed in fairytales. That a nice, kind man would come and find me. We would fall in love. Get married. Have children, and live happily ever after. Then the cold, harsh realities of life grabbed me by the throat, and have been choking me ever since. I had become rather jaded by the dating game. Desperately seeking the nice guys, and always ending up with the sometimes more exciting, but unfortunately more heart breaking bad boys. So what's a girl to do? Well unfortunately...

Are men and women capable of friendship? A friendship that is purely based on a mutual respect and likeness. Nothing at all is sexually orientated, and it is completely innocent. It isn't because they are interested in exchanging bodily fluids with each other. They don't want to have kids, and make a life together. They are just simply friends, and that is it. Why does that appear to be such a problem for people to believe. I have a friend who is male, and he firmly believes that men and women ...

I don't really believe in love at first sight. I think there is much more to love than your eyes meeting across a crowded room, and the crowds suddenly parting in front of you, and forming a path to the love of your life. I don't buy it, sorry. I think that you can be instantly attracted to someone and you can get that feeling of lust, a feeling many people seem to confuse with actually loving someone. I believe that love is something that you build on, over time, and eventually love someone. Y...

My sisters fella recently got himself online. It is a relatively new concept to him, as he is somewhat of a techno-phob, so it is quite a long process trying to get him to do things, and get into it. Slowly but surely he has found his feet on it, and he especially likes playing online games, and chatting to people, and basically just killing time. Nothing wrong with that, right? My sister has a slight problem with him talking to people online, and to be honest I don't really understand it. She ...

I have never had a one night stand. I've had the opportunity to do it. Many times, and I have never wished to engage in such activities. Especially when I was going through college and you was out every weekend, and it was in your face all the time. The meat market feel of a night club. Like everyone was just eyeing up their next conquest, and didn't really have much else in mind. I always went out to have a good time. To get my ass on the dance floor, and shake it, and forget all the stress of...

My cousin is getting married. She is a few years older than me. She has been seeing her fella for about 10 years? Maybe a little less. They live together. They did split up for a while, due to erm....fear of commitment? I think that was the terminology used. Anyway, now they are getting married. The wedding of the century. On Sept 11th (hmm) they will tie the knot. This wedding has taken three years to plan. It has cost ALOT of money, and they are all excited, they can't wait. Now I am just a m...

I am a bit of a fiesty chick. Shocking I know. It is true though. I speak my mind, and I won't back down, and if I am challenged I will stand my ground. I think it is the best way to be. Alot of the time when I am introduced to new people, I can be a little cheeky, and my sense of humour is naturally sarcastic, and some people just don't know how to take it. Alot of the males I am friends with now have commented that on first meeting me they didn't like me, and it is only over time that they ha...

There is a rather sexy man that graces my television screen most nights. He has his own 'alternative' show on one of the cable channels. He is extremely attractive, and charming. He creates alot of media attention for himself....for two reasons, he openly admits to having a sex addiction and to prove this he sleeps with lots of beautiful women. Kate Moss, and one of Bob Geldof's daughters are those amongst his conquests. These women know of his reputation. They have seen the pictures, heard the...

Well it is official folks....I am evil. There is some chemical reaction that is currently going on in my tiny mind that is making me into a two headed evil monster, and it ain't pretty. I'm even scaring myself. For a while now (so you can't blame it on what men usually blame womens moods on) I have noticed my behaviour, and moods becoming worse and worse, and my poor, poor fella seems to be at the recieving end of these mood swings. To be fair to him he does take them on the chin bless him, but...

So I did the impossible, the thing that I have found so difficult to do for so long. The thing that seems to escape me, and be just that bit out of my reach, and what is that I hear you cry? Well, I've met a guy, and not just any guy, a really nice, decent guy, who I like alot. You want to know the craziest thing of all out of all this? Well he thinks exactly the same things about me. I know this, because he tells me at every opportunity he can. I don't have great taste when it comes to men. I'...

Does marriage work? Does monogamy work? I guess that depends pretty much on who you are, and what your thoughts and feeling are about that particular subject. I think the majority of us would like it to work, but as the statistics prove, it doesn't always work. Two in five marriages here in the UK end in divorce. Infidelity is the cause of around a third of all marriage break-ups. Things aren't looking good for monogamy. Afterall we are a different society to the one our grandparents grew up in...

I have a friend who had a baby a while a go. At the time her and her partner were not living together. Even though they were together, and they had a baby together. He lived with a friend, and she had a flat of her own. They were quite happy with this situation, except they had one issue. They couldn't have sex. They found it difficult to have it at his place, because the person he lived with was always about, and the baby was at her house, and in the early days that just didn't feel right to t...

I have a guilty secret...well I have a few, but I am going to share this one with JU. I am a fan of trash. Whether that be trash tv, trash magazines, trash newspapers. I just like, and enjoy trash. That may give you an insight into how my mind works, but anyway, not the point. I have an illness that means everytime I see a trashy celeb magazine, that is telling me how to get a body like Victoria Beckhams (You just don't eat for those who are wondering), I just have to buy it. I can't help mysel...

I'm writing this article on behalf of my sister, as it is a topic that is really annoying her at the moment. I think I have touched upon it many times before, but it is still something that annoys me, so here goes. My sisters fella likes women. He enjoys the female body. He likes looking at them, he thinks the female form is there to be appreciated by men the world over. In his opinion the female body, in all different kinds of shapes and sizes is beautiful, and is there to be looked at. So ...
