QI’m going to be alone on Valentine’s Day, again. Should I make an effort and go out on a date? And if so, is doing an online profile safe? ● Weary Heart, Auckland
AI wouldn’t use Valentine’s Day as the kick-off to an online date evening myself, but that’s not to say that you can’t use the date to make an anniversary of a new beginning. Is it possible to meet the right person for you on the internet? Of course! Will it be easy? No!

Not all love celebrations have to be romantic.

AIt’s tough to see loved ones suffer, especially your children. But you have to draw a line when you know somebody’s behaviour is causing agitation. He has to respect her wishes and go through the agony of grief and loss. There’s no way around the pain and he may need help beyond you in accepting that. Sexual connections can create a powerful narrative in the brain that make you feel that what you have with one person is “irreplaceable”. Truth is, even if it is special or remarkable, it takes more than that aspect to make a relationship prosper. I’d suggest you mention to him that he goes to his GP and explains his addiction to trying to win her back and his agitation. If you and your family can afford it, rally around and get him a therapist to help him make a coping plan in the next month or two. I also think it’s

QI’m getting married on Valentine’s Day and want to give my nearly all-single bridal party a cheeky gift bag afterwards to say a big thank you for being there for me. (I’m on a bit of a budget.) ● Happy Ending, Canterbury
AWell, for a summer wedding, why not go with the budget-friendly, very fun lubricant called System Jo H20 Watermelon. Apparently the flavour is good and it’s a very “silky” feeling product.
