Here in the UK, we are being drenched with Prince William and Kate Middleton stories in the media. They are everywhere!
Unlike the loved-up celebrities who can’t wait to show off the latest in a long line of soul mates, what’s different about Prince William and Middleton is their quiet togetherness. They already exude a sense of being an ‘us,’ rather than part of a ‘me + me’ relationship. Their focus is on each other, and they’re not trying to convince their friends or the world that they’re together. They just are.
They royal couple each have what I describe in my book, How to Be The One — a well-developed Emotional Core, the emotional equivalent of a strong physical core stability known to anyone who has ever practiced Yoga or Pilates. The emotional ‘muscles’ they have developed in life include: a healthy self-esteem, an appealing attitude to life, a deep sense of inner happiness and kindness towards others.

It looks like even the busiest Olympic athletes are finding time for some romance these days! Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps, has been spotted around town with jewelry designer and reality TV star, Brittny Gastineau. According to TV.com, a the duo appear to be in the early stages of their relationship. This seemingly unlikely pair have more in common than just their good looks. Gastineau’s father is former Jet’s play Marcus Gastineau, which allows her to understand Phelps’ athletic background. However, sources say that Gastineau has been in long-term relationships her whole life and is just looking to have a little fun.
We all know that dating is a minefield, right? But here’s the thing; getting older doesn’t help. A lot of 40-year-old men only want to date 25-year-olds. And here’s why: a woman in her 30’s or 40’s knows what she wants. She’s been around the block a few times, and she’s less willing to compromise. She’s less easily impressed and she is, in a word, more discerning.
Now that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make dating harder. Also, when man hunting at an older age, you tend to want different things. At 24, a cocktail and a great make out session will suffice; at 40, not so much.
