Dear Donna, I’m a perpetually single 30-something who’s never had a long term relationship because I just haven’t found anybody who I’ve really wanted to be with for more than a couple of months. However someone who I’ve been good friends with for over four years now has admitted to me that he does like
How can I advise you on something I am still struggling with? I am the friend people come to for the advice and I don’t mind that, I am good at helping other people. I am full of solutions, the voice of reason, yet when it comes to listening to my own advice I ignore
One thing I have realised since becoming single is how important it is to be able to spend time by yourself, and not just at home in your own bubble but actually take yourself out, eating alone, going to the cinema alone – all the things we do when we’re in a relationship or with
Dear Donna, I’d really appreciate your advice. I’ve been feeling very low lately because my best friend, who I’ve been inseparable from for over two years, has become a very different person.

Dear Donna, My ex boyfriend and I have been at university together for 3 years and we were in a relationship for 2 and a half of them. He decided he wanted to go to China for a year to teach English. I was a bit heartbroken because of the distance between UK and China
I can be sure that you’re not where you thought you would be in life, or where you thought you would be by now. Because I am the same. And I know how hard it is no to not completely discouraged by that realisation. Everywhere you look you’re just reminded of what others are doing
Inspiration is an odd thing. Just like motivation, it is powerful when it’s there but it is also fragile and fleeting. Whilst I generally believe that we should never rely on inspiration to get us closer to our goals – as habit, strategy and planning will get us much further much faster – it is
With the weather starting to warm up, I can’t help but hate this time of year. Don’t get me wrong, I love feeling the sun on my skin, but I dread having to wear clothes where I have to show a little bit more skin. There is really no escaping having to wear a skirt
