Word on the street is that John Mayer and Katy Perry may be back together. Who knows if that’s true? I certainly don’t know for sure. But, I will say that it’s a scientific fact that John Mayer is the most charming man on the planet. He has a magnetism about him that no woman seems able to resist. Wish he would do some private tutoring for a few of my clients! Anyway, he infamously dated Taylor Swift and then Katy Perry. If you aren’t as into Taylor Swift’s 1989 as I am, you might not know that Taylor and Katy have some serious bad blood between them. (Also, you should definitely get into 1989. It’s such a good album!) John, Katy and Taylor have a classic love triangle going on with a lot of unresolved feelings among them all. And even though these three are megawatt celebrities, the situation is way more common than you probably think. It’s a small, small world and your love relationships and friendships are bound to overlap. If you find yourself in a love triangle situation, here’s what I think you should do.

This year Valentine's Day falls within days of Chinese New Year, which I think is very auspicious for all those looking for love or embarking on a new relationship.
Both events are symbolised by the colour red, which represents romance and passion. And also good luck, good fortune and longevity in Chinese custom. I love the idea that both symbolise an exciting new beginning, hope and prosperity. Isn't that what we are looking for when we are looking for love?

Recently, an article published in Thought Catalogue called This Is How We Date Now kept popping up in my Facebook newsfeed. My friends and colleagues were sharing it like crazy! Intrigued, I clicked the link and gave it a read.
I was immediately into it. This piece of writing described something that I’ve been seeing a lot of over the past few years as a matchmaker. People have stopped committing. With so many options out there readily available with the swipe of our finger, our sense of how to fall in love and keep it close has been warped.

I received an e-mail from my buddy Andy the other day. She was casually seeing a guy for about four months. She made the mistake of sleeping with him the first time they went out.
Let me clarify, this isn’t a general mistake. There's no correlation between when a couple consummates a relationship and how long they stay together.
Congratulations singles! You have made it through the couple-heavy holidays and all that’s left now is the home stretch. Hold your single self together through Valentine’s Day and you’re worry-free until Thanksgiving rolls back around.
So with less than a week left to go until your official re-emergence into the social world, you’re probably looking for some new solo activites to keep yourself busy. Should you dive a little deeper into your Netflix queue? Or take up a hobby - Crocheting has always seemed relaxing right? Anything to take your mind off the candy hearts and happy couples parading down the street.

Presidents’ Day and Valentine’s Day fall over the same weekend this year. For those who are coupled up, that means romantic long weekend trips, lazy afternoons cuddling and basically, just a full extra 24 hours to feel in love. For single girls, an extra day alone over the most romantic weekend of the year could be kinda traumatic. More time to think about being single can be really crappy. Fear not, single gals. I got you! Here’s how you should spend your love weekend.
