To be single or not to be single? That is the Question.
Jan 21st
Sometimes being single can feel like a monotonous bore:
- Lonely nights with meals for one in front of the T.V.
- Nights out with other (tedious, verging on tarty) singles who you would otherwise never associate with, however, the need for a Wing Woman is such that you find yourself propped up at the bar with them on a weekly basis.
- Hearing the patronizing yet hopeful words from your mother and smug married friends, which go something like this “You’ll meet someone lovely soon dear”, “There’s a man waiting just round the corner” or “You really deserve someone special, he just hasn’t come along yet”. (OK fabulous… Where is he???) Read the rest of this entry »

When to Call After a First Date
Mar 29th
There was wine, there was candlelight, and there was a friendly goodnight kiss. You just had your first date and it went great. So how soon should you contact her to let her know you had a great time and would like to see her again?
There is of course the school of thought that women like being strung along, and as such, you should wait at least three days before contacting her. This lets her know that you are cool, in control, and probably have lots of options available for how to spend your time. Oh yah, and it also lets her know that you’re a jerk. Not only that, but keep in mind, in this age of shortened attention spans, three days is plenty of time for someone to forget what a great time she had.
Since theoretically you’re looking for a long term relationship, and said relationships are (hopefully) based on trust and mutual respect, why would you start the relationship off with game-playing and manipulation?
If you truly enjoyed your date and her company, and honestly think this relationship has the possibility of going somewhere, let her know then and there. Not in a clingy, desperate way, but in a friendly, “see you soon” kind of way. As you’re parting for the evening, let her know you had a great time and you’ll talk to her soon.
Then, talk to her soon!! If you told her you’d call her tomorrow, call her tomorrow. If you told her you’d call her on Monday, call her on Monday! This not only shows that you are interested, it also shows that you are a man of your word and that you can be trusted.
Now, not playing games or manipulating aside, you don’t want to appear clingy or desperate, so if you told her you’d call her tomorrow, don’t call her two times tonight. And once you’ve made the follow-up call, the ball is in her court. You don’t need to follow-up to make sure she got the message, or check to see if she’s got plans every night this week.
Your first date went well, you followed up like you said you would, now you can relax knowing that you’ve done all you can. She’ll call you back, and if she doesn’t, she obviously isn’t worth taking out again anyway.
