singles with dogsSingles with dogs know that their pets make for great icebreakers when you’re looking for love. When you take your dog to the park, you easily meet other dog owners; a cheeky dog who likes to sniff strangers’ crotches can kick off a flirt (even if it’s embarrassing) and most singles can draw the connection between a cute dog and its cute owner…

But did you know that dog-lovers have certain qualities that make looking for love a lot easier? Obviously, dog-lovers are good at relationships – they already have a pretty serious one with their dogs, after all. In addition, they know a lot about behavioural psychology (let’s face it, humans aren’t that different from dogs when it comes down to it. Dog-lovers also learn to adjust to the needs of others and a caring streak will come in handy when their partner needs pampering.

At the end of the day, dog-lovers may go on about „man’s best friend“, but it’s just not quite the same as looking for love – human love. So even the biggest dog-lovers want to find a two-legged friend. But singles with dogs have to realise that any potential partner will have to put up with a lot: lack of privacy, competing with a dog for attention… and of course no end of dog hair. So it makes perfect sense for singles with dogs to go looking for love online, where they can „sniff out“ other singles without their dogs interfering. At be2 you can menyour dog in your profile and see if any of your matches are dog-lovers.

This summer love quote is a month late, but if you replace “June” with “July”, it still works perfectly. Summer is a time for romance…

A big age difference in a relationship isn’t a new phenomenon, but somehow it remains harshly judged. Bystanders quickly form an opinion on the relationship of an older man or an older woman with a young partner. An older woman seen out with a younger man must be a nymphomaniac, a younger woman with an older man is suspected of being a gold digger. The older man is looking to recoup his lost youth with a younger woman, while a younger man wants to brag about sleeping with an older woman. Pop psychology at its best. If you’re lucky, your friends will support you, but if there is a considerable age difference between you and your partner, be prepared for disapproval to some degree.

There are three ways to deal with a big age difference in a relationship: Read more

green-weddingEnvironmentally friendly blog treehugger writes about all aspects of green living. This post about non-green weddings got us thinking: What would an environmentally friendly wedding look like?

These are the top tips for a green wedding:

  1. An environmentally friendly wedding begins with environmentally friendly wedding invites: Print your invitations on recycled paper or, even better, hand-write them. Don’t worry; recycled paper needn’t look horrible – these days it comes in any design or colour you could ask for.
  2. Bonus green points for handing the invitations to friends personally. That doesn’t just save you postage, but also the carbon caused by mail.
  3. When looking for the perfect wedding location, remember: a green wedding means minimum travel for a maximum of your guests. Read more
