We managed to still do our weekly walk even though it was 39 degrees!  So after Ms J took the plunge and experienced a few RSVP eclectic dates, the topic for the day was articulating what the "perfect" man for Ms Jennifer would be. I have often said I know exactly what she needs (not that she agrees with me) but nevertheless, after lots of "perving" (by Ms J) on the walk this week, I have put together a list of what I think the ideal man for Ms J would be:

Another week and another walk dedicated entirely to one topic - Ms Jennifer's date to someone she met via her RSVP trial. This was her first date with (let's call him) Mr. D and it wasn't long before I realised that I had failed in my duties as a best friend for she broke most of the First Date Rules that all women should know. Now for those who don't know what they are - I have listed them below (detailing with ones Ms Jennifer passed and failed).

The lovely 'mrs' recently requested I try out online dating sites seeing as though I wasn't having any luck in the 'real' world to find myself "the one".  Yes, I was thinking what you are - nice friend, and how desperate do I look!  But, being the dedicated all for the empowerment of others type  I thought I would embark on this journey to spare you all from repeating the same mistakes.

Ok, you have all no doubtedly read the commencement of the saga I developed  in Men Are Definately From Marks Take One - here is what happened next.

Friends are great for advice - they love to give it and they always tell you to do things you know you should do, but don't have the courage to do.  So after telling them what had happened I had a few mixed responses, some saying just get over it, it was 6 months ago - he's a guy - he surely has moved on and doesn't remember you. Others were saying if you had such a connection with him don't let it go, that doesn't come around too often...no regrets in life - don't go through life thinking about the 'what if'. Read on...

Each week Ms Jennifer and myself (Mrs Amanda) do the Bay Walk at Leichhardt. We also talk the entire time about a range of topics that are important and not so important. I will now be sharing with you what we discuss with 'The Weekly Walk' posts, this one being the very first.

When you get engaged the whole world seems to glow and you become overwhelmingly excited about the opportunity to organize your very own wedding – just how YOU want it.

You feel deflated but don’t worry, there are ways to cut down your wedding costs without reducing its quality. Read on...

For the life of me i am never going to understand how the mans mind ticks. Having been single now for nearly 2 years, coming out of an 8 and a half year relationship, I obviously have a lot to learn about the singles life. For instance,  since when does the female have to make the first move?

Recently, well I'm going to call 6 months ago recently, I went out on a girls night out and met someone.  Although it was a tad messy I still remember a lot about him...except the most important part - his name.  With that aside I know that he is English, 39, a photographer...I know what you're thinking, I had the same thoughts...apparently he takes pictures of landscapes? Goes to bars a lot...and lives in Balmain, to which I corrected him when he told me the street name because its really Rozelle...did I mention I had had a bit to drink?? My honesty will get me into trouble one day, but he seemed to think it was funny - go figure. Read on...
