Love at first sight - is it the beginning of the end?
Men who believe in 'love at first sight' and 'instant chemistry' are three times more prone to infidelity in their next relationship than men who take at least two weeks to fall in love.

When it comes to love, men need to get creative
When looking for a potential partner, British women lead Europe in the importance they attach to a man's profession, according to a new survey by PARSHIP – Europe's largest scientifically based online dating service.

One third of women in their 40’s vote yes to the younger man
One third of women over 40 say they are now looking to date a younger man, according to a new survey, but these women are no longer looking for a quick fling to boost their confidence: they want romance, lasting love and even marriage, just like celebrity role models Demi More, Amanda Redman and Joan Collins.

British bosses feel the pinch - in more ways than one
Economic uncertainty, a slump in the housing market and UK inflation hitting a 15-year high ... Tough times could well be forcing people to go that extra mile to increase their earnings -- but just how far would you go to get ahead at work? Well, according to a new survey by online dating firm PARSHIP.co.uk – one in five British workers (22%) - double the number recorded in 2004 – would flirt with the boss in order to get a promotion, with men (25%) more willing than their female colleagues (19%) to use charm to get ahead.
