The first love

Every girl remembers her first love and it sets the scene for all your future relationships. It\'s a time of romantic fantasies, experimentation and hopes and dreams for your life together. You may have learnt a lot since then but there\'s nothing quite as special as the first time.

The holiday romance

The fact that he doesn\'t speak English shouldn\'t stop you! Having a holiday romance with a sexy señor can make the most boring destination come to life. Get cosy on the beach, watch the sunset go down and have a secret smile every time you look back at those holiday snaps.

The bad boy

Treat \'em mean, keep \'em keen is his philosophy and guess what? It works. Well, until the thrill of the chase wears off and you realise that being treated badly is not as sexy as it first seemed. Every girl needs to date a bad boy though, even if it\'s only so you can finally see the attraction of the nice ones after all.

The older man

He\'s mature, sophisticated and has lots of money - which he\'s willing to spend on you! After dating men your own age who don\'t know what they want or how to get it, the intelligent conversation and charm can be enough to forget about the receding hairline, mid-life crisis and ex-wife!

The one night stand

The simple pleasure of no-strings-attached sex is a liberating experience. It\'s about enjoying the moment, being sexy, confident and not caring if he calls in the morning - in fact not even giving him your number. Enjoy the night, guilt-free, for what it is - pure, unadulterated fun!

The long distance relationship

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and writing love letters, intimate late night phone calls and the anticipation of seeing each other again is enough to make all the longing worth while. Just make sure that the reality of the relationship lives up to the romantic ideal you have created.

How to survive long distance relationships

The one who breaks your heart

Yes, it feels like your world has ended and no, it\'s not a pleasant experience, but as the old saying goes - what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger. Experiencing that intense low only makes the highs higher and helps you to appreciate the love of your life even more when he does come along.

The unavailable one

Whether they are married, live a long way away or are just emotionally unavailable, there is that constant challenge and hope that you will be one to transform them. Unfortunately, you probably won\'t, but you will have a lot of fun trying and enjoying the exhilarating thrill of the chase.

The friend-turned-lover

He\'s seen you when you\'re hungover, he knows all about your embarrassing habits and former failures and he loves you anyway. The friend-turned-lover is the most comfortable relationship as you know he likes you for who you are. Just don\'t let it become more like sister and brother than starry-eyed lovers.

The one

This is what it\'s all about. All the dating, all the heartache and headaches will finally lead you to the one. The conversation is easy, the attraction is magnetic and you both want the same things in life. Enjoy it, nurture it, and use all your experiences of other relationships to keep hold of this one and make sure it lasts the distance.
