Randomly I was looking at my blog’s dashboard, and saw the report on top search terms. I’d really like to understand what drives people to look up these sorts of terms – what are they hoping to find?! Even more importantly, why did these queries lead them to me?! Continue reading
The truth…
14 Mar…is sometimes hard to hear, especially when it comes to dating. We never want to believe that someone doesn’t want us. In fact, for some of us (even smart girls who read the newspaper), the very suggestion that they might not want us, makes us want them more. Continue reading

Dating ain’t easy
11 MarIt’s true – dating is hard. You have to put yourself out there and be outgoing even when you don’t feel like it. You worry about your clothes, your hair, your body.
