When things go wrong
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
Some lucky people may meet the man or woman of their dreams quickly and easily. However, for most singles, it may take many dates, coffees, phone calls or emails before they meet someone special.

CONFIDENCE - HOW DO YOU GET IT?
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
Confidence is an odd thing. Some singles have an over-inflated sense of their own attractiveness to the opposite sex but others, with all the ticks and crosses in the right boxes, have very little or no confidence in themselves.

Facing our fears
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
Many singles say that they would like a partner, but they do everything to avoid placing themselves in a position where they might actually meet one! The fear isn’t so much that it won’t work; it’s that it will. Rather than the real thing, they prefer the comfort and familiarity of a warm, safe daydream.

Finding a spouse
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
People have all sorts of advice about finding a husband or wife. Some say, ‘don’t look; she’ll come along when you least expect her.’ Others believe that it depends on fate. If it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen. Or ‘que sera sera’ ...‘whatever will be, will be.’

by Julie Pearce
One of the most awkward and sometimes stressful tasks while dating is making the ‘thanks but no thanks’ (TBNT) speech. For most people it isn’t easy. Some prefer to avoid the TBNT speech all together by dropping hints and hoping the other person will ‘get the message’. Other times though, a TBNT speech is either appropriate or unavoidable.

The media and singles
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
Advertisements on TV today frequently depict men and women in reverse gender roles. Washing powder ads which once belittled women, now ridicule men wearing hot pink t-shirts and silly smiles. It seems that it is ‘OK’ to openly devalue men. However, if women were caricatured in such a manner, there would be an outcry.

Two ears and one mouth
Just for Singles
by Julie Pearce
Some women frequently express how disappointed they are that men aren’t good
listeners and don’t appear interested in them. A number of men feel the need to ‘sell’
themselves to their date by telling them how impressive they are. Unfortunately it usually does the opposite.
