Anniversaries are supposed to be a celebration of the love between two partners. It's not just a marriage thing; it's a human thing. Not belittling any who is married - I'm getting married next year, and I am looking forward to it. Fundamentally though, anniversaries are a true celebration. My personal opinion is that anniversaries are the most important (of all important) annual events. It is a chance to focus on, reflect and appreciate our time together, the friendship, the

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. Unfortunately, so many men are clueless about what they should be wearing when they are out dating. If you get it wrong on a first date then you’re unlikely to ever get a second. Just because you feel comfortable in t-shirts and trainers doesn’t mean you should wear then when you meet someone.

Britain’s first matchmaking agencies started in the 1600s when vicars played a key role in matching their parishioners with a partner from the same social class. Back then, being single past the age of 21 carried a great stigma, so although it wasn’t publicly discussed, this form of matchmaking was something that people often turned to. The first non-religious agency appeared in London in 1825. It still matched based on class and was largely used by men who were looking for

Our recent survey asked men, both single and in a relationship, for their views on modern dating and it shows that they value the services of a personal introductions agency over online dating. 85% said that they believe people lie on their online profile. This really causes problems as internet dating agencies rely on algorithms to match their members - algorithms are great but only if the profiles are accurate in the first place.
