In broad daylight, I flirted with a man.
Having departed the office this sunny afternoon, I was driving into the city to meet a couple of girlfriends for a cocktail or two and a funny movie. Shedding the multitude of office stresses, and free from my parenting responsibilities for the evening, I was in high spirits.
I [...]

Technology runs my life!
Posted in Dating, Technology, work life balance, tagged Technology on August 30, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I hate to admit it, but sometimes it seems that we have too much technology.
We’ve become so connected that we’re expected to respond to eveything in real-time. Far from remaining business tools, our ICT systems have become our captors, enslaving us to an oppressive existance. Hopelessly dependent on instant gratifaction, we’ve become information junkies. We [...]
Men, ARGH!!!

Men. *sigh* Why do I bother?
The gulf of understanding on either side leaves me yearning for so much more.
A relationship should be based on mutual respect and understanding.
My current one seems to be more of a battle of egos.
I’m too old and set-in-my-ways to be bothered waging a war of wills. Experience tells me that [...]
Top 5: Fundamental elements of a successful relationship

Every relationship has give and take. But how much should you give – and how much should you take? Some relationships work seamlessly, and others are more like an endurance event. Whether this is Mr/Ms Right, or Mr/Ms Right Now hinges on just a few key ingredients.
To help you decipher between the two, here are [...]
The delicate dance of love
Posted in Break-ups, Dating, Relationships, love, tagged Valentine's Day on February 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
aaahh, the mystical whimsy of the weaving of romantic magic. The gentle glittering of wonder against the sparkling backdrop of possibility. Soft music. Flattering lighting. The verbal ping-pong of witty, slightly acerbic, mildly ambiguous banter and the unmistakably enigmatic air of ‘I wonder if they like me back?’
Romance can be magical. Alas, Valentine’s Day really [...]

# Top 5: Ways to meet potential partners
Your friends and family are telling you you should ‘get out there’. Sheesh! It’s not like you’re always single by choice. That’s not to suggest that you’re desperate, it’s just not always easy to ‘meet someone nice’ who shares the same values, while managing to intrigue and [...]
New job: Day 1 (inter alia)

*phew* I am exhausted.
I had my first day (well, in fact, it was two half-days) at my new job this week.
As expected, it was wall-to-wall meetings, but it also proved to be really interesting, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. No doubt I’ll blog more on that after I’ve officially [...]
Still no word following the horrible discussion with the (ex?) partner earlier in the week.
My house is a mess. My eyes are red-raw. My nose is snuffly, and I have a pounding headache…
The sole consolation is that I am looking after myself. I’ve managed to workout every day since he left. I’ve been eating well, have [...]
Damaged goods
Posted in Break-ups, Dating, Relationships, men on June 12, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This post on the use of the term ‘damaged goods‘ made for an interesting light read.
By the reckoning of the ‘men’ consulted in writing the post – I’m seriously damaged goods. I tick almost all of the boxes. Completely un-datable.
Interestingly, having conducted my own ‘research’ lately (read: drunken sobbing phone [...]

Are there any good men left?
As I teeter on the verge of singledom, I find myself yet again frustrated by my inability to understand the male psyche.
I’ll never understand the way men discuss women with other men. The misogynist references (’she’s a dog’) and utter quantification. It saddens me. It frustrates me. It sickens me.
I have tried [...]
