I know there are good men out there.

My husband Rob, who I married when I was 53 is one. Unlike most of the men I ended up with when a bit younger, he’s kind, considerate, someone who’s got my back. I always feel comfortable introducing him to friends and family because I know he’ll be generous and...

Have you been on any dates lately?

If so, how did the conversation go?

If the experience of many of my clients is anything to go by, there’ll be a good chance you didn’t get a word in edgeways. Many men on dates, especially first dates, hog the conversation, regaling you with stories about themsel...

When I’m dishing out dating advice, I talk a lot about NOT relying on “the spark” on a first date to tell you if a guy is a keeper. 

To find a good man you might have to ditch the idea of your “type” and give someone that doesn’t immediately float your boat a chance to grow on you. Maybe someone th...

This week is a biggie for me and Dating Evolved.

It’s now a full 4 years since we kicked off the pilot for our flagship small-group program with two groups of 8 women.

I’m so grateful to these lovely ladies for letting me try out my ideas on them and for giving me fantastic feedback, allowing me t...

When we’re perusing men on dating apps, or checking out the talent at a singles event, the first thing we’ll tend to focus on is how a guy looks – and that tends to have a pretty big influence on whether or not we’re open to getting to know him.

But it’s worth bearing in mind, that a guy’s physical...

Dating Evolved is all about giving you good dating advice – how to find a man you can be happy with. But to be in a healthy place for dating, and to be able to give a good guy a chance, you’ll need to get over any exes lurking in the background - even in your mind.

Why so important to get over an e...

Many women, when they first start dating, particularly if they’re online dating, they often say that it’s exhausting. They spend a lot of time and energy meeting up with men, only to find the date doesn’t go anywhere or it’s so boring they want to stick pins in their arms for a bit of diversion. Bas...

For many, online dating can be a rough ride. I’ve lost count of the number of women who have initially come to me saying it can never work.. The men on the sites are awful… They get horrible, disrespectful or mind-numbingly boring messages.

But I also have many, many women among my clients who are ...

When I’m in the initial stages of talking with clients, or when we’re having discussions in the Dating Evolved Facebook Group about online dating – a common refrain is that all the guys on the sites or apps are awful…

There ARE definitely a lot of decent men out there though - really! I know this b...

Would you go for a guy significantly younger than you?

As someone happily partnered with a guy several years younger than me, I'm very positive about relationships where the guy is younger than the woman.

And I feel my view is somewhat validated by research on couples with a 10+ year age differenc...

During calls with my clients we regularly talk about exchanges they’ve had with men online or things they’ve noticed about a guy on a first date, and it seems that many are very ready to write a man off because of a “red flag”.

Of course I absolutely agree that it’s important to notice things that ...

If you’ve been following Dating Evolved for any length of time you’ll know that I advocate a “slow burn” approach to getting together with a guy.

I didn’t always think like this. Like many women I thought there had to be “chemistry” at the beginning to make a man worth pursuing. If I didn’t fancy a...
