Can money buy love?

moneybuylove.jpg Some say it's the root of all evil and some say it can never bring true happiness. Do you agree more with Paul McCartney who sang "I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love". Or are you more likely to agree with English poet Christopher Marlowe who said: "Money can't buy love, but it improves your bargaining position".

A study by the University of Nottingham proves that money can in fact lead to love! The poll surveyed lottery jackpot winners (those who have won more than one million pounds) and found that 15 per cent of winners classed themselves as single before their win, dropping to 12 per cent post-win. Marriage was also on the cards with 68 per cent of respondents being married pre-win, compared to 74 per cent afterwards!

Now who do you agree with on this argument? Do you believe that money really can buy love or is there something else going on here?

Do we still expect men to make the first move?

13858673-1131x1697.jpg So when it comes to asking someone out on a date, who should make the first move? Traditionally, women shied away from making that nerve-wracking first move from a fear of rejection. But isn't rejection just part of the dating game? Surely it's just as daunting for men.

Well, do men just simply prefer to call the shots when it comes to dating? And are women perceived as 'too aggressive' if she makes the first move?

What are your thoughts?
