In the film, Failure to Launch, Matthew McConaughey dates women, they start talking marriage, and he gets cold feet.
He decides they should break up with him. His strategy? Invite the girl to his place - only it's not his place. It's his parents' family home. The girl's dreams of an independent man are shattered. She dumps him and he's off the hook.
In real life, however, many men still live with their parents and are actually interested in developing long-term relationships.

Recently I discovered that my partner's ex-girlfriend Jen - the girl who broke his heart - was Jenny Summers, the beautiful blonde girl the year below me at school. It shattered my illusions about my partner's previous life being dead and buried. Here she was, alive, still stunning, and catching up with us over coffee.
Discovering that our partner - the most special person in our life - has been someone else's special person before us is an awful feeling. It's made worse when that someone el...

It had been the perfect start. We'd met onoine, courted (as you do these days), met up, and as the classics say the rest is history.
Some may say it was all too fast too soon, but if you'd been single as long as I had you learn to tune out to those types.
Three months into our relationship, my boyfriend broke my heart: he took a job interstate.
We agreed to see each other every two or three weeks at weekends. We reassured ourselves we were strong enough to survive the separation. I'd a...

Sleeping Beauty knew the power of a kiss. Fated to sleep for a hundred years, she was awoken from her trance by her Prince's lips, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Kissing, snogging, smooching, is an integral part of fairytale mythology, romantic novels and famous films. Who can forget Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the dying moments of Casablanca?
But in Western sex-obsessed society, kissing is overlooked as an end in itself. Be honest. When did you last enjoy a really p...

When we're on a date, we tend to focus on looking good and sounding sultry (or at least engaging). But the food and drink that pass our lips can turn a standard night out into a sexy culinary experience.
For your delectation, here are ten tastes to tempt even the most reserved dinner date:

Having interviewed dozens of men on topics they rarely discuss, Maggie Hamilton, author of What Men Don't Talk About, has discovered that men, like women, long to be heard, accepted, loved and understood by their partner.
"In our desire to grasp the differences between the sexes, we as a society have come to focus on what separates us, rather than what joins us together....

Have you ever held your partner's hand and felt a tingling sensation through every cell in your body? Ever yearned for a hug from your partner, more than anything else in the world? Is it an essential part of relationships?
Humans thrive on touch. Research has shown that, for humans and animals, a lack of physical contact can lead to emotional disturbances, reduced sexual interest and even a weakened immune system.

A 32-year-old single graphic designer from Brisbane recently offered $40,000 to anyone who could find her a life partner.
"I did it as a bit of a joke, but there is a serious side to it," she explained.
"I'm getting older and, to be honest, I'd rather spend my Saturday mornings at open for inspections with a partner than getting over another Friday night with all the other singles from work."
Her proposition seems to stack up financially too. Studies around the world show that marriage...

Paradoxically, despite being a city of over seven million people, it's often said that finding love in London is not easy. Although Londoners are likely to come into contact with hundreds of different people everyday whilst they battle through crowed tube stations and busy streets, the hours eaten up by the daily grind of travelling to and from work mean that time for dating is limited.

Although it might signal the end of the relationship, forgetting Valentine's Day is a crime that can be atoned for. Flowers and chocolate are certainly the ticket for a safe Valentines Day, but unfortunately these simply won't suffice for the crime of forgetfulness.

The question of Valentine's Day will most likely garner a sigh of a response or even worse from many men out there. There is no reason for this, however, as long as a little forethought is used to plan ahead while keeping your sweetheart firmly in mind.
A major concern regarding Valentine's Day is the cost. Although some might consider a lack of funds unfortunate - or even an obstacle - it should not be considered as a necessary stumbling block to the holiday. In fact, Valentine...

Maybe the reason is genetic or maybe it's environmental conditioning, but it seems pretty much fact that most women choose their gifts very carefully, giving a great deal of time and thought to getting something which is 'just right'. On the other hand, we probably all know at least one man who does his entire Christmas shop at his nearest BP forecourt.
We often laugh when we are regaled with stories of the guilty culprit, who has slunk home on Valentine's Day with wilting carn...
