As usual, we're rounding the week off with another mysinglefriend.com success story. We hope this one will warm your cockles throughout the weekend, as apparently it's going to be very chilly indeed. If you're going on a date or two this weekend be sure to wrap up snug and indulge in some warming beverages. Whisky mac anyone?

If you're a confident flirter then you've probably been charming the pants off of everyone you met since you stepped out of the house this morning, so you can stop reading now and go back to batting your eyelashes at Wendy from accounts . A bit of friendly flirting can put a ray of sunshine into the darkest of days, so don't hold back; it's almost a public service, really.  If you're not quite so much of a smooth operator and haven't made eye contact with anyone today apart from your Hello Kitty screensaver, why not use National Flirt Day to galvanise you into action? Follow these few simple rules and you'll be knee deep in phone numbers in next to no time. 

mysinglefriend.com is awash with brilliant profiles. They might be funny, clever, sincere, strange or just have a really great photo, but something will make them stand out. Each week we're going to be picking our favourite profile and sharing it with all of you. But this isn't a one way street; if you've seen a really good profile or even if you'd like to nominate your own, you can get in touch with us at blog@mysinglefriend.com and tell us all about it.

So it’s Valentine’s Day

Large bunch of roses. Yawn.

Tacky card with slightly sick-making message. Yuk.

Dinner a deux. Zzzzz.

It's not that we hate the big red day, but, to be honest, we’re just a little bit fatigued by all that stuff  that has been festooning the shops since before Santa could make his way back up the chimney. 

There are so many fluffy bears, yucky cards and horrible ‘valentine's offers’ around that it may make you feel more aligned with Al Capone’s version of Valentine's Day than the Romancing Chancers who once had ownership of 14^th Feb.

Last week we gave you some advice on Knowing What You're Looking For; that is, approaching your time on mysinglefriend.com with a clear objective, whether it's marriage and babies, some brilliant dates, or just a bit of a giggle. Once you've sorted out your priorities and joined the site, the question is, how do you pursue your goal?
