'Love may be blind, dates should not'

As Valentine's Day is approaching, you might be wondering what kind of man to put on your romantic menu. As I'm named after a diary, it's no surprise I've had many dates (not to mention entries, but I won't go into that, ha ha!). So here are my top tips.

Love may be blind, dates should not be. I've been on so many blind dates, I should be given a free dog. You'd think that being set up by good friends would guarantee an arrow from Cupid's quiver, but the worst thing is realising your friends don't know you at all.

They'll ask you for dinner and by the entrée, you'll have discovered you're incompatible. Your star sign is Aquarius. His? Utter ratbag. When a particularly egotistical blind date started monologuing about astrology, I replied tetchily my sign was 'Do Not Disturb'.
