My partner and I have a great long-term relationship, and I feel very lucky for that. Don't get me wrong, we have to work at it and we have our ups and downs just like everyone else, but we have such a strong connection and love for each other that we value above ourselves and our own egos.

Because of this, we sometimes get called on to give relationship advice for our friends and family, which can be a challenge! I'm not exactly a relationship expert or counselor or anything, and every relationship is different so it's really hard to offer valuable advice.

However, a friend of mine recently asked me what he was doing wrong with dates. Once I heard his technique it was a bit of a no-brainer really. Without going into specifics, I'll just say that I advised him not to introduce his Vibrations Direct Shop collection on the second date, as it might scare some ladies off!
