Student Kyle Berry wanted to show how reaching out to strangers in the simplest way, could go a long way in making new friends.

Truly heartwarming!
Ah, the friend-zone. It’s not only boys it happens to you know!
Here is a few of our favourite things that happen when you’ve been put in the friend-zone:
1. They’re never short of telling you about all the best bums and boobs in the world. Including those of your best friends and how incredible they are. But of course, never yours.
2. You keep thinking life is like a movie and one day you will gain the courage to proclaim your undying love for him. Never gonna happen.
3. You guys flirt more than you make normal conversation, but it doesn’t mean anything because you’re best friends *gritted teeth*
4. Every time people pick up on your high pitched voice when around the person that’s friend-zoned you, you have to reassure them you’re just friends and you would “never like them like that … gross.” *GULP*
5. On nights out, they are so much craic and you guys have so much fun together but they’ll always find someone else to go home with
6. You painfully see them with someone who does not deserve them and is annoying, desperate and clingy (at least that’s how you see them). But you can’t say anything.
7. Every time you have good news or something’s happening in your life they are the first person to come to mind.
8. They have called you “Bro,” “Pal ” or “Mate,” and for the ultimate friend-zone, “Sister.”
Admit your love, the worst that can happen is they will say they don’t feel the same … and that’s not so bad, right?

We all live in the delusion that things might be going well at home, but little do we know that we could be in fact the irritating housemate that everyone is complaining about. Here are few signs that maybe you should take your other housemates’ feelings into consideration:
You’re messy
Ever wonder where those dirty dishes disappear to? It’s not by magic, the sad reality is that your housemates are probably cleaning up after you and aren’t happy about it either.
Drink straight from the carton
It wasn’t even your milk in the first place!
You move your boyfriend in without asking
Oh, we all had a housemate like that. Yes, you are entitled to a love life, but perhaps it’s a good idea to give some consideration to the people you actually live with, instead of just focusing on your own needs.
Short on rent
You somehow have no problem showing off that new pair of shoes that you just bought, but might be a little late on this month’s rent.
Won’t buy utilities
Toilet roll does not appear by magic and neither does fairy liquid or any other necessary house utilities. You need to buy your share as well.
Never take out the bins
Yes, it’s disgusting but the bin is probably full of all your rubbish in the first place. So, unfortunately you do need take out the rubbish every once in a while.
If you fit into any of these categories, it’s probably time to do your share of housework and grovel for your housemates’ forgiveness.
1. Too much body hair
No, no, no. What IS that peeping out of your shirt? NO!
2. The smoker/drug user
Smokey breath? No thanks. Acting like drugs are the coolest thing on earth while dancing like maniac? Double no thanks.
3. The one in a relationship with his abs
He’s obsessed with himself, and the gym.. all he talks about is working out! Oh hey Mr.Abercrombie and Fitch.. did you buy you top in the children’s section so your muscles would try to escape out the sleeves? #weknow
4. No aspirations in life
So he’s left school/college, has no job, and has no intentions of getting one either.. This guy is more than happy to sign on each month, and get paid to drive around in his Passat, creeping 17 year olds. He doesn’t have a plan in life, or hasn’t set any goals.
5. Dirty Runners
Where will you get in looking like that? We’re not waiting outside with you #thatsforsure
6. The show off
No one likes a show off, so be modest and charming and you will win the race.
7. Poor Hygiene
This is vital. Smelly breath/underarms and anything else you may need to address is detrimental to how far you will get with us ladies.
8. The Gas Man
Okay so if we’ve been with you for like, 2 years, it may be something we need to live with. But on the second date? Seriously? It was one of those silent killers too…
9. Irresponsible
Grow. Up. Clean your house, pay your rent and your bills like a grown up.
10. The Beauty Queen
Oh, you take longer to get ready than we do? *closes door*

A new study has found that supermarkets are now the best place to snag your dream man!
According to the survey, one in eight (13 per cent) shoppers admitting to swapping numbers with a fellow trolley-pusher.
Six per cent have dated someone they met in the supermarket, and two per cent of those questioned said they had married someone they met at the supermarket!
It seems we can pick up a lot of clues about someone’s personality from what they have in their shopping basket.
Nearly two thirds (63 per cent) admitted they would be more attracted to someone if they shared similar shopping and eating habits.
According to data revealed by Shopitize app, 6.38pm is the best time to bag a beau with most singles hitting the shopping aisles in the early evening.
Psychologist Dr David Holme said, “Lust-fuelled moments in darkened clubs and bars are the worst times to be selecting a partner for life.
“In contrast, in the clear light of the supermarket aisle, the contents of our trolley will say more about our personalities and habits than interrogation by a dating website.”
Trolleys at the ready ladies!
Comedy actor and director Seth Rogan has shared his views on marriage, and said some really sweet things about his wife in the process!
Seth was talking about the way marriage is typically portrayed in Hollywood, and how that’s totally different from his own experience.
The actor swears his new movie, Bad Neighbours, will portray a marriage that you’ll actually want to root for!
Seth revealed how his wife was not happy with the original portrayal of Rose – who plays his wife in the movie.
“In early drafts of the script, she was cast aside as the naggy wife who was kind of trying to stop me and my friends from messing with the frat and having fun,” he said.
Seth’s real-life wife Lauren Miller read the script, and had a thing or two to say about the role.
“She’s one of the people who was like, ‘This isn’t how it would be. We get along, A., I want to have fun, too,'” said Seth. “And then as we started talking about it, that actually became the most exciting idea of the movie to us, really, is that we could portray a couple where the wife was just as fun-loving and irresponsible as the guy, and that they got along really well.
“In a comedy, that is almost nonexistent: an actual healthy couple that really likes each other.”
“With me and my wife, that’s the easiest part of my life is my marriage. Like if everything was as smooth and easy and fun as my relationship with my wife, then I would have a much easier time getting through the day. We really get along, and we like the same stuff,” he said.
Awwwwww!
So you’ve been going out with this guy for a while, but there’s no sign of his friends – what’s going on? Don’t be alarmed just yet, here are some perfectly reasonable explanations.
1. He’s embarrassed by them.
They’re not the most mature bunch…
2. He acts differently around them.
He might think you’re not going to like the way he is when he’s with them. Maybe they bring out the binge-drinking idiot in him, or the giant nerd, or the guy who can only speak in South Park references.
3. They’re dicks.
4. He’s not that close with them.
Some people don’t really surround themselves with close friends, just drinking buddies or casual acquaintances. He might just not have anyone that he feels is important enough to meet you and vice versa.
5. They’re party animals.
Maybe his friends are so YOLO-CHUG-THIS-BEER-BONG-HOW-MUCH-WEED-CAN-YOU-FILL-YOUR-LUNGS-WITH-AT-ONCE intense that he’s afraid of bringing you around and scaring you off forever.
6. They don’t live nearby.
Some people stay great friends with their high school buddies, and after everyone goes to school and gets jobs and shuffles around the world, meeting up with them for an introduction might not be that feasible. Don’t freak out if he hasn’t arranged for a visit by three months. You’ll meet them eventually.
7. He thinks you don’t want to meet them.
He might just assume you have no interest in meeting his friends. It never hurts to tell him, “He sounds fun. When can we all hang out?” Communication!
8. He doesn’t think you’re that serious.
Meeting his friends is like meeting his parents: he’s declaring that he plans on you being in his life for a while. If you guys are still in the casual dating phase, or he thinks you are, he’s probably not going to bring you around just yet.
9. He hasn’t met your friends, either. Even though they’re so nice.

It may seem like the end of the world right now, but there are plenty of reasons why you can be thankful for your latest heartbreak:
The worst is over
Even though you’re convinced you will never be able to overcome this pain, the worst is well and truly over. No more arguments, passive aggressiveness, negotiations and that horrible Facebook changing of your relationship status. It’s all over now.
You’re free
Initially it may not feel like it, but being single is definitely liberating.
You have more time for friends
It’s times like these that you realise who your true friends are. Let’s face it, while you were in your relationship you missed out on a lot, because you were spending so much time with your significant other. Now is the perfect opportunity to forget about your heartache and make up for all of that lost time.
The one
So he wasn’t the one, that’s ok, you now know more than ever what you really need to find in a partner.
Stronger
Cheesy but true. While the beginning of that nasty heartbreak is never nice, you will come out of it a lot stronger than you’ve ever been and of course, with a great fresh perspective.
A study from the online dating site, Victoria Milan, has revealed that the majority of women who cheat, do so because of certain irritating qualities from their partner.
Victoria Milan is a dating site specifically designed for those who are interested in cheating on their partners.
The site decided to conduct a survey on why some women are so keen to cheat on their partners by questioning their 6,000 female users on the topic.
The results were interesting.
The study revealed that 73% of women who were surveyed, decided to cheat due to their partner’s irritating qualities. But the exact irritating reasons for each woman’s partner, varied.
19% felt that their partner’s poor sense of humour was a good enough reason to cheat. While 16% of women decided to stray due to a lack of understanding from their current partner.
The dating site also revealed other reasons for why some women are so keen to cheat on their partner, from not being good in bed, to being lazy, lack of manners and their partner’s poor attention to detail.
But Victoria Milan revealed that what drove women onto the site in the first place was mostly their desire to find a lover who has polar opposite qualities to their current partner. Ouch!
He asks you to hangout
A sure sign that he has no romantic plans for the evening. Even though we can spend hours trying to figure out guy code, sometimes there is no code and your fella simply just wants to hang out.
No touching
If he was remotely attracted to you, he would make some subtle or sweet attempts to embrace you. Sometimes, it can be intentional and sometimes, it can be done subconsciously. But if you give him ample opportunities to make a move on you and he doesn’t oblige, safe to say he’s not interested.
Your one of the guys
If you hang around with his friends a lot, especially if he isn’t there, that’s a sure sign he doesn’t view as a romantic partner. If he was really attracted to you, for the first few weeks anyway he would definitely want to keep you to himself.
No effort
This is hard to tell, as a lot of guys don’t make an effort in general. But if he really liked you, he wouldn’t definitely go out of his way, to woo you off your feet.
1. The attention seeker
Every gang of girls has one of these, the one who always has to be centre of attention. She’s loud, and tries to be ‘like sooooo funny!’ Especially around boys, everything is about her, she has to look the best, and pull all the good lookin’ lads on a night out, her eyes turn green if the best looking guy in the pub is talking to your other friend. They’ll always act really dumb and be all ditsy and girly girl.
2. The clingy one
The one who is just slightly obsessed with you. She makes plans for you without even asking are you free, she texts you 24/7, just to let you know she’s eating Chinese and oh oh will you go for a run with her tomorrow to burn it off . She gets jealous if you make plans with other girls “like, why didn’t you invite me??” even if she doesn’t even know the girls.
3. Two faced
Every girl bitches, about everything and every one.. but some girls just take it to a whole new level. She will jump at the chance to bitch about a mutual friend, so what makes you think she doesn’t do the same to you? The Regina George kind who will tell you your top is just fab and as soon as your gone say “that’s the ugliest top I’ve ever seen” You don’t need these people in your life.
4. Drags you down
These type of friends are difficult, it’s like they do it so sneakily but they will break you. These kind of girls just hate you doing better than them, and will always try drag you down.
5. The Bad influence
Okay so your friend is a slut, doesn’t mean you have to be too. She wants you to go to house parties so she can get the shift with a ratio of 10:1 on boys to girls, and you’ve a boyfriend, sorry no. They try make you do all the bad stuff they do, regardless of what you want to do.
6. The copy cat
We’ve all been there, the one who has everything you have, wears everything your wear and does everything you do. No one wants to go out dressed like the Olsen twins.
7. The user
So you got a new car – and she’s back in your life again! There’s also the kind who literally uses you as a friend, and makes you do stuff with them because: “come on, no one else will come.” They will drop you like a plank of wood once something, or someone better comes along. They text you for the first time in weeks and how convenient those new boots you got would go perfect with her new dress.
8. Anything you can do I can do better
Having a friend like this can be exhausting. It’s like you’re in constant competition even if you don’t even know it.. you finally got that perfect matte shade of red you were looking for, but oh wait hers is MAC. Your going on holidays with your boyfriend and staying in a really cool hotel with.. “I know but OURS has a pool view room with stools in the water. Your doing sunbeds while she’s secretly doing an extra three a week on the sly just to be darker than you. #exhausting
9. Having to tip-toe around them
This type of friend probably doesn’t even realise they’re doing any harm, but they’re the most difficult friend to have. You literally have to watch EVERYTHING you say around them in case they go off on one. They ask for your opinion, and then get bad if you tell them something they don’t want to hear. You feel you have to think before you speak for the fear of: “whaaat?? what did you say??” They can also be an emotional mess, and cry at the slightest thing. Or the opposite and roar and shout at the smallest thing, either way.
10. The flirt
These girls aren’t really friends, they could be part of your group, or someone you hang around with from time to time, but you wouldn’t trust them as far as you’d throw um’. You already know they’ve slept with your friend’s boyfriend and is seemingly proud of it, so what makes you think she wouldn’t jump at the chance to get up on yours? She uses Snapchat like a porn site, and craves attention off all your male friends, It’s ok to be worried if she’s constantly texting your boyfriend ‘for a lift’.
