The singletons of the city do not have it easy, explains dating guru Jo Barnett. Disastrous dating stories fill the corners of buzzy gastro pubs and stylish rooftop bars – where gaggles of exhausted girls and frazzled guys entertain their friends with their ‘love’ woes.
Debates on where to meet the perfect person continue fervently into the night. Can you really meet your future husband in a crowded club? Is the slinky wine bar with the glowing reviews the best place to meet the girl you finally take home to meet your parents?
Finally, some clever soul suggests that everyone can help out with this matter by introducing a fabulous single friend to a beloved single chum. After all, isn’t it more likely that you will get on with someone your wonderful fun friends would hang out with?
Matchmaking between friends can seem like a good idea, but heed our warning – it can have its pitfalls.
Kiss & Tell
The fresh breath gurus at Dentyl Active, the alcohol free mouthwash with a two phase bad breath busting action, asked 1,000 British men and women revealing questions about their dating habits.
They discovered:
· Only 23% of people polled claimed they had asked a friend to set them up on a date
· 45% of the singletons quizzed stated that they don’t like being set up by friends because they would much rather do it themselves.
For many single somethings, they want to be in charge of setting up their own dates to avoid things going wrong between friends. Think about it, if you and your new lover end up falling out in the most epic of ways – and let’s face it, this happens, your poor buddy will be caught in the middle.
No wonder so many of us follow that old saying, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
KISS & TELL: The Dentyl Active range of mouthwashes is scientifically tested to kill and remove oral bacteria, leaving teeth and gums protected for up to 18 hours so that your breath is blissfully fresh…and you are ready to get up close and personal.
SAY HELLO TO DENTYL ACTIVE – SHAKE IT. SEE IT. FEEL IT. ®
The Dentyl Active range of alcohol free mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients – natural essential oils and Cetylpyridinium Chloride – CPC. Both ingredients, which have to be shaken together before swilling the mouthwash around the mouth, are proven to ‘bust’ oral bacteria which cause nasty breath. The bacteria and debris then stick to the clever mouthwash solution. When you rinse Dentyl Active out from the mouth you can see the bacteria, food debris and other deposits, removed and highlighted as small, brightly coloured masses in the sink. Now that’s just plain smart thinking from Dentyl Active!
