Great expectations

Single in the City Posted on 03/11/2011 by Single in the City
There comes a point in every relationship when the expectations of both partners collide. Make or break time, as priorities are laid on the table and it becomes clear whether a relationship has a future. This can come at one week; one year; even one decade. For one friend, it came relatively early. Six months in, there was a row. So far so ordinary. And it was a very ordinary row, about something not very important.

  • Think outside the confession box

    Single in the City Posted on 03/11/2011 by Deirdre O'Shaughnessy
    You always hear from single women that there are no men around, when that is quite clearly not the case. There are men everywhere! Obviously, what they mean is suitable, good looking, available men.

  • Over thinking the situation

    Single in the City Posted on 27/10/2011 by Single in the City
    We all have one. You know, the proverbial "one" that got way. But what happens when that one that got away refuses to go away? I’ll tell you, we turn into hopeless, lovesick idiots.A friend of mine is currently facing that particular dilemma.

  • Old man trouble

    Single in the City Posted on 20/10/2011 by Single in the City
    Women everywhere, in every culture and of every age and description, must have translations for the phrase 'man trouble'. There are millions of ways of saying it, like that old chestnut about all the Eskimo words for snow.

    Single in the City Posted on 13/10/2011 by Louise Cashell
    I recently went to the cinema with a friend, who happens to be a girl. Nothing strange about that. Tickets bought, popcorn in hand we were just about to head in to the film when next thing I know, I was being yanked in to a corner by my friend.

  • Hindsight is 20:20

    Single in the City Posted on 06/10/2011 by Eoin Weldon
    It’s easy for us all to pass judgement and ridicule someone for a relationship boo-boo when we are looking objectively. We all tut and moan when a friend is made a fool of or loses all sense of dignity in the throes of pursuing someone.

  • Troubles in paradise

    Single in the City Posted on 29/09/2011 by Single in the City
    The early parts of any relationship are fraught with difficulties from the mundane to deeper, more far-reaching consequences. While in the early throes of a new relationship, it's often enough work just getting to know someone, but perhaps some of the bigger issues should also be broached?

  • A guide to blind dates

    Single in the City Posted on 22/09/2011 by Single in the City
    It's hard enough to get up the nerve to go on a first date, but with the added thrill of never meeting the person before it can be fairly traumatic.There are a few rules I live by in this situation but the first (and most important, in my book) is to make sure that the friends setting you up don't have any ill-feelings towards you.

  • The hardest word

    Single in the City Posted on 15/09/2011 by Single in the City
    No, it's not 'sorry'. Sorry to say, but Elton John was wrong about that one.It's the L word.No, not the L Word from the TV. These days, we can all say the word 'lesbian' without blushing.I'm talking about the four-letter L word, the one that causes shivers to run down the spines of casual daters, and even of some long-married.

    When you're single and you meet someone you could potentially like it's great. The excitement of any new relationship is a fantastic feeling that should be absorbed and appreciated because soon, it will more than likely be gone.

    We've all been there. Jealousy is a terrible thing, but once it gets its claws into you there is no escape. It's relentless. I recently heard from a friend who is living blissfully in sin with her lovely boyfriend.

  • Adventures in internet dating

    Single in the City Posted on 25/08/2011 by Single in the City
    An attractive friend of mine lives a busy life, doing hard work that she finds interesting and fulfilling. Unfortunately her job means that she works unsocial hours. When so much socialising in Ireland is done by meeting someone randomly in a pub or nightclub, her work schedule means that it’s difficult.

    Have you ever been to the zoo and seen an animal pacing its enclosure? In many cases, if you get a chance to look closely, you’ll see grooves or paths worn into the ground. There are a number of reasons why animals do this.
