			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst I&#8217;d love to tell you that girls can&#8217;t wait to be asked out and willingly oblige, the truth is, this isn&#8217;t the case. There are times, believe it or not, where we actually don&#8217;t want to. You might have 3 heads. You could have terrible B.O, or just spinach between your teeth. All this and yet somehow we always find ourselves saying yes, when what we actually mean is no.</p>
<p>Fear not girls, I&#8217;ve compiled a list of believable excuses that will get you out of this very situation. They took quite a while to think of. I&#8217;m here to look after you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, after last week&#8217;s video&#8230; it appears that more and more of you are venturing into the land of online dating and I&#8217;ve had lots of emails asking for advice. I should point out that whilst I used to work for a <a title="Global Personals" href="http://globalpersonals.co.uk">dating company</a>, I&#8217;m completely clueless and thus single.</p>
<p>However, experience alone tells me that there are certain things you should never send in a first email. Before you press send, you might want to check out these things to avoid:</p>
