Picture this: you’re dating someone new, and, not for nothing, you’re excited about them. They do things like chat to you all the time, texting and checking in with how your day is going.

The shops are the new place to find love

Aug 29, 2024 | metro.co.uk | Aidan Milan |Kristina Beanland

Forget that rooftop bar, or joining a run club, apparently there's a new place to find romance: the supermarket. We can't be the only ones who've spotted a hot guy in the fruit and veg aisle and hoped we might lock eyes. But this is levelling up the supermarket meet cute: now, people are going to the shops at specific times, purely to land a date.

I don't feel bad about not inviting my dad to my wedding

Jul 30, 2024 | metro.co.uk | Aidan Milan

'Why are you texting me, why are you calling me baby girl? How did you even get my number? I do not know you.'As a teenager, those questions swirled in my head as I stared at my father 's rare texts to me. Those messages were so jarring.
