gym-potato.jpg

Assuming all of you fitness fanatics are fit as fiddles, are you fussy about finding a partner who is equally as fit? Be it a physical connection or more of a meeting of fitness-wise minds, do you feel that someone needs to be at the same level of fitness as you to be able to see eye-to-eye? Do you think it is difficult for opposites, in this sense, to attract?

Idle Musicians?

Idol.jpg

Along with the overload of reality television, comes the overload of reality musicians. Whilst most contenders on shows such as Australian Idol, Australia's Got Talent and The X-Factor etc. appear to be mindlessly fame-fetching or seriously deluded, some of the emerging talent can be quite impressive.

Here is an opportunity for what could be a cathartic and educational discussion to recognize your own blunders in relationships. Why do you feel your partner disconnected with you? Why did you disconnect with them?

Lucky in love?

writteninthestars.jpg
There has long been a fascination with serendipity - destiny or fate bringing you to the love of your life without your power or choice intervening. Whilst luck in love has been pondered by many artists, musicians, film directors etc. there are certainly people who would strongly challenge this thought, not due to pessimism, but because they have been there, done that!

Sports or Sun?

Many people love the great outdoors, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they are particularly 'sporty' by any means. Are you an outdoor lover for the sheer pleasure of feeling the warmth of the sun? Or do you love to get out there and get competitive in grueling game of footy?

Parental Guidance

singleparent.jpg

Every parent differs in their styles of guidance and protection towards their children. This becomes a convoluted process when that parent is single and also on the dating scene. Obviously the age of your child plays a huge part in your decision, but at which stage do you let your kids in on the fact that you are seeing someone new? How quick are you to explain the scenario to your child?

According to recent research, the place to hunt down hot, athletic single guys - that not only like a good party, but also earn a good living - is in a lift queue in a ski field! Evidently, this stands for those in favour of finding a man, as reports have shown an average of 6 men to every 4 women on snowfields worldwide!

The Man Drought!

Recent reports have suggested that Australia is in the clutches of a 'man drought.'
It has been shown that particularly for women over 30, finding an eligible male is proving a difficult task as females are deserting rural areas for city life. While women outnumber men below the age of 34, 'the tipping point' begins to occur in large cities causing a gender imbalance. Is the shortage really as dire as the studies suggest?

Risky Life!

Risk.jpg
Living life is a risk. Taking chances on a relationship is a risk. Opening our heart is a risk. Skydiving and bungee jumping are both risks. So how do you decide what risks to take if any at all? Is risk part of doing things like having your heart broken is a risk you need to consider when entering a relationship? Is risk created to make our lives more exciting?

What does your dog say about you?

mananddog.jpg
Can someone's choice of dog tell you quite a bit about their personality? Let's say a person prefers the overly active Border Collie or Dalmatian. Does this tell you that they are outdoorsy and energetic? What if they prefer the high-maintenance Pomeranian or Shih Tzu varieties that require professional grooming? Does this tell you that they themselves need extra pampering?

Intimacy, Is it easy to have it?

Couple---Sleeping-in-Bed.jpg

Attracting and maintaining a loving relationship is a major priority for many singles and couples. But why do some people have long-term intimate relationships that last for years, while others struggle with intimacy of any kind? Have you ever been on a long term relationship that you struggled with intimacy? Is intimacy something that you lose over time?

Does time really tell?

time.jpg

When you first meet someone, do you rely heavily on an instant connection, refusing to explore a possible relationship any further than the first coffee? Or do you give people the benefit of the doubt, even when you don't feel instantly 'connected'? Are you quick to decide someone just isn't right for you - or are you happy to go along for the ride to see what time tells you? Can you measure your compatibility with someone by the number of dates you have with them?
