Cyber cuddles - can you feel the real love?

If you are reading this now, it is likely that you are fully aware of the You’ve Got Mail-style relationships that are formed and fostered through a multitude of social networking programs.

Falling in love too easily... what's with it lately?

Falling in love too easily… what’s with it lately? Known to many, I religiously watch that ‘bear-bating’ daytime television show, featuring Mr Jeremy Kyle and a host of Great Britain’s most troubled inhabitants. What can I say; at least I’ll be happily entertained if I’m ever unemployed/on maternity leave! I have noticed that so many of its guests seem to fall in ‘love’ after weeks, and seem to get married after months, and I have a feeling that it’s not particularly healthy, or particularly rare.
