"Go on, just suck it. You might like it." I roll my eyes. Yet another date who confuses sleaze and innuendo with flirtation. For me, they're uneasy bedfellows. I'm sitting in the park on an unseasonably warm day for the time of year. Before me is a mini banquet of all manner of romantic foods.

Why does a philandering chef ruin his career but his political partner in crime become a national icon? Is it because we assume that Boris and his ilk already have twisted morals since politics is a pretty ruthless business?

When posting carefully curated images online, people have been known to go one step further, and actually post a picture of someone else. Whilst this may seem ludicrous, I would think there are scenarios in which this can appear to be a rational, even desirable, action.

Although I cannot be 100% sure on whether Walt Disney intended it or not, relationship advice can be taken from each of the princesses.

We've all been there. You wake up, slightly disoriented, amid bed linen which feels unfamiliar. Strange sounds emanate from a mass not too far from you. As you open each eye slowly, cursing them for the amount of time they're taking to adjust to the light, you realise you've done it again - you're back at theirs, for the first time. It's the morning after the night before.

Getting a first date is fairly easy. Or so they tell me. But getting a first date and going on a first date are nowhere near as big a deal as the ultimate prize, the holy grail of dating, the BIG ONE: securing date number two.

Breaking up with someone you care about is never easy, and it might feel like you'll never love again. Once the initial shock of the breakup wears off, it doesn't mean that your feelings magically disappear as well--if only it were that easy.

Whilst my business is in the dating game, I appreciate that first dates can still be nerve-wracking: What to wear, what to say, when to say it, how to sit, who'll pay etc. The list is long and can be overbearing for many.

The weather is finally, FINALLY on the turn and so it seems is my love life, although the outlook for the latter is not necessarily very sunny. The Stuntman has hilariously (and predictably) not troubled himself to get in touch since his effusive offer of the free holiday we were never, ever going on. Not a peep!

Naturally, the first thing a woman does when a guy goes MIA is try to understand why. We want to make some sort of sense of it all and think of anything to avoid believing that he just isn't that into us! So we make elaborate and silly excuses for him. He has a huge presentation at work this week so he's just really busy...

If you want the best results from your online dating experience, you've got to forget the clichés and not be afraid to stand out in a digital crowd!

It seems there could be a secondary advantage when buying chocolate eggs for your partner this easter, I have just finished conducting a survey of dating site members which revealed 78% of women say that eating high quality dark chocolate helps get them in the mood for lovemaking.

Agreeing or volunteering to set mates up with each other is the worst idea you're likely to have. there's seldom a pot of gold at the end of the matchmaking rainbow. Well, for you, at least. It's a common misconception that people you know, or your friends know, will like each other.

There are still some romantic buzzkills out there just waiting to spoil your fun, break your heart and drink all the milk in your fridge.

It is so often the case in relationships for a man to leave you for a younger woman. It's so common in today's day and age (no pun intended) that it doesn't even come as a surprise. The real shocker though, is when he tells you he's leaving you for an older woman.

Breaking up is hard to do. I know; I've done it. Relationships can be a long, languorous drive around winding country roads. The break-up is the huge tractor or speeding idiot who appears from nowhere, slicing through your cosy hatchback of coupledom.

Who doesn't love Chelsea? Well, a lot of people. However, for hot dates there are a few things working in its favour. Namely, very good looking surrou...

In a marriage or a long term relationship it is not always as easy to just up and leave a relationship, there are usually other factors that mean you stay in the relationship and end up overlooking the fact you are missing out on the romance of Valentine's day.

I've never really been a 'faking it' kind of person. I understand the need to sometimes temper our behaviour and adapt to certain situations to 'fit in' but it doesn't take a genius to find out when someone's being disingenuous.

Punctuality is the politeness of kings, my grandmother always used to say, and while I'm not particularly regal, I do believe the least you can do on a date is get there on time. 'Fashionably late' is a flawed, dangerous concept. One man's height of style is another's fashion faux-pas. You mustn't leave anything to chance.

I couldn't work out what to write. Do I write as Kristie the slag? Amelia the anthropologist or just plain old me? But most importantly did I even want to find out who DKeats really was?

I wanted Kristie Kreme to be the kind of girl who could read Naomi Wolf's new book without blushing repeatedly at the word 'vagina'. The kind of liberated feminist who had no qualms about knowing what she wanted and taking it. A girl who would turn a walk of shame into a march of glory.
