Life with all the boring bits cut out
Article Abstract:
The romantic fiction genre has developed a rather negative image, with heroines and heroes being far removed from ordinary people. However, a new approach to the genre is now emerging, in which the characters have a more realistic background and the relationship between men and women is much closer to ordinary life. Some readers still prefer the traditional type of romantic novel, using it as a form of escapism, but the new type is becoming popular too.

I'm just a girl who can't say no
Article Abstract:
Many women find it hard to tactfully reject advances from men whom they find unattractive. They often find themselves accepting invitations from such men, and it then becomes much harder to refuse subsequent invitations. It is much better to be honest right from the beginning, as this saves embarrassment later on both sides. In order to do this, many women need to train themselves in honest self-expression.

Be gentle with him, it's his first time
Article Abstract:
One of the most important considerations when preparing for a first date is to choose clothes which are both flattering and suitable for the environment in which the date is to take place. Once on the date, it is best not to drink too much alcohol, as this can produce uncharacteristic behaviour. If a first date includes a meal, it is important to choose food which is easy to eat.
