There is a common misconception that our beloved Friends characters Ross and Rachel were absolutely made for each. Yes, it took them a while to both get there, but when they did, it was perfect, blissful, a match-made-in-heaven and so on and so forth.

Eh, wrong.

Here are just five reasons we think this whole made-for-each other belief is totally out of whack.

1. Rachel decided she liked Ross when she saw video evidence that he was mad about her.

Did she genuinely like him or did she really, really like the fact he really, really liked her? Oooh, interesting decision.

2. He almost sabotaged her career by acting like a lunatic and constantly showed up in her new workplace.

Is that the actions of someone who’s ‘made’ for someone else? Dear God, no!

3. When did they actually seem happy together?

If they weren’t bickering about Rachel’s co-worker Mark, they were disagreeing about how they visualised a future together. Just a little something to ponder.

4. OK, this is kind of a biggie, but girls, he did cheat on her mere hours after they decided to take a small step back from their relationship.

Does the person who’s ‘made for you’ jump into bed with someone else after an argument? We hope not!

5. Em, girls, she agreed to marry Joey.

If you’re made for someone, do you accept what you think is a marriage proposal off their best friend mere hours after you gave birth to your supposed soulmate's child? Eh, we think not.

So, he wasn't her lobster, he did not have her best interests at heart, they weren't exactly fun to be around, he cheated on her and she said yes to someone else.

Sorry to say it ladies, but the Ross and Rachel fairytale is just that; a fairytale. Sob!

We’re often made feel like our twenties are the time for non-stop sex, the years for wild bedroom antics and the decade to have a libido that would have rivalled Russell Brand’s circa 2006, but we know better than that.

We know that our twenties are also the time to acknowledge exactly what we want, how we want it and recognise that sometimes our bedroom is purely for snoozing, sleeping or sulking.

Here are just ten times (yes, just ten) that we knew sex definitely wasn’t going to be on the agenda that night.

1. When we ate so much Dominos, we felt about as sexy as a phonebook.
Rub my belly. Just my belly, you.

2. When we had our period and knew that any position, except foetal, would end us.
Sleep on the couch, please. No, you can leave the hot water bottle here.

3. When we forgot to shave our legs and we weren’t sure where our furry calves started and our boyfriend’s ended.
I think we’ll skip right to cuddling, let’s just rub our legs against each other.

4. When he annoyed you so much, you’d rather do time than him.
Please remove yourself from my eyeline, sir.

5. When you pondered the bizarre physicality of sex for too long, became totally weirded- out and zipped your onesie up to your neck.
You’ll have to excuse me, my brain made me think thoughts.

6. When you’ve finally done your hair and make-up and he’s suddenly like a dog in heat.
Could you not have decided this before I spent 45 minutes squeezing into this dress and perfecting my smoky eye?

7. When you have a pimple on your face…and your bum.
Turn out the damn lights and don’t look at me.

8. When it’s so bloody cold that deciding to get naked is seriously the behaviour of a lunatic.
I am not insane. Please see someone about your urges.

9. When he hasn’t brushed his teeth and is smothering with a cold.
Em, could you not?

 

10. When you were more in the mood to show him what he was missing than proving it.
It’s nice to keep them on their toes.

Alan Foran decided he wanted to pop the question to gorgeous girlfriend, Amanda Lavery and he didn’t want to do it any old way either.

This besotted boyfriend pulled out all the stops to make his proposal as special as possible and managed to give us all goose bumps in the process.

We’re talking flash mobs, brass bands and his girlfriend’s favourite Christmas hymn: here’s a man who knows how it’s done.

Guys the world over, take note.

Some people love sexting while other people would rather die than send a suggestive text to a random guy or even their other half.

Whether you love it or hate it, do any of us actually have any idea if we're even good at it?

Different strokes for different folks and all that, but there are a definitely few key issues we should ALL keep in mind before closing our eyes, internally screaming and pressing send.

Here are the top ten tips for ensuring a cringe-free sext-fest.

1) Don’t do it if you’re not comfortable.

Like all sex, it’s meant to be a mutually pleasurable endeavour

2) Don’t get his name wrong.

This is vital

3) Don’t laugh at him.

Yes, he misspelled his own body part, but no one’s perfect.

4) Don’t mention the cringy move he tried in bed last week.

You didn’t look so hot that time you got stuck in your own bra, ya know.

5) Don’t promise a sexy photo and then send a photo of a cat.

Hilarious? Yes. Mean? Definitely.

6) Don’t take forever and a day to reply.

No likes to have sex amongst the tumbleweeds.

7) Don’t do it in the same room as anyone else.

Yes, it’s a little wild, but it’s also a lot weird.

8) Don’t be disappointed if he’s failing to turn you on.

Your ‘sexy’ puns and ‘saucy’ gags mightn’t be as stimulating as you think either, ya Casanova.

9) Don’t somehow find a way to argue in a sext, even if you think it’s cute.

It’s not, you’re being annoying.

10) Don’t forget to relax, have fun and practise as often as possible.

If you get good enough, you could soon add it to your CV. (You could, but don't.)

We’ve had amazing kisses worthy of a Hollywood film (if shifting in torrential rain counts). We've had mediocre kisses that take place when we’re both rushing out the door. And we've had woeful kisses we’d much rather forget. Be gone, GAA disco memories.

But how much do we actually know about the art of puckering up?

Here are ten super-important facts that you should commit to memory now before it’s too late.

1) French kissing, which uses all 34 facial muscles, burns 26 calories per minute!

That’s why making-out is so important after a romantic four course meal and calorie-laden cocktails.

2) The world’s longest kiss lasted a whopping 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.

Take a bow, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat of Thailand!

3) Approximately two-thirds of people tilt their head to the right before going in for the kill.

The other way feels like head gymnastics, right?

4) Chimpanzees often smooch each other after a fight.

We’re not the only ones who need to kiss and make up every now and again!

5) The fear of kissing is known as philemaphobia.

We kinda wish we’d suffered from that during our school discos. Blergh.

6) Kissing is good for your gnashers.

So, don’t beat yourself up if your dental floss is gathering dust in the bathroom.

7) It has been known for some women to reach orgasm through kissing alone.

Even more reason to get back to basics with your boyfriend, right?

8) An Eskimo Kiss is the act of rubbing your nose off your partners while snogging.

It’s weird and, inexplicably, cute.

9) When two people kiss, they exchange between 10 million and one billion germs.

Moving on. Moving on NOW.

10) People tend to remember their first kiss more vividly than the first time they had sex.

Spin the bottle. Third Year. Hot.

The story of Irish couple, Brendan and Maeve, will warm even the coldest of hearts this Christmas.

Maeve, who moved to London for work, was struggling being away from home, family and loved ones, so Brendan knew a big, romantic gesture was needed and man, did he deliver on it.

In a bid to make the transition for his girlfriend easier, Brendan presented the lovely Maeve with something so stunning that the only reply she could muster was “Are you having a laugh?”

Romantic, touching and classically Irish!

Apparently, us ladies are famed for constantly asking our other halves what they’re thinking.

While we’re not sure we’re quite as interested in their thoughts as we’re made out to be (unless it’s to do with dinner), we seem to have a rep for only dying to know what’s going on inside our boyfriend’s heads.

Do they have the same inclination? Probably not, and frankly we’re lucky because we’ve had some seriously whopper thoughts and random questions pop up when it comes to them, us and general…stuff.

Questions and thoughts WE don’t even want to have, frankly.

Here are just twenty (yes, just twenty) musings that have flitted into our head without warning and flitted back out when we talked some sense into ourselves.

1. Can I see him standing in the kitchen at 3am making a bottle?

What! Why did I just think that?

2. Will I be able to say the words ‘my husband’ without giggling?

Probably not.

3. Is he the last new person I will have sex with?

Woah. Hold up.

4. Does his surname suit me?

This is merely a curiosity.

5. Will our sons look like him and our daughters look like me?

Thank God, he’s gorgeous.
 

6. Has he EVER thought about our wedding?

STOP! YOU haven’t even thought about your wedding…much.
 

7. My God, his friend is seriously good-looking.

Damn, did I just cheat with my emotions?

8. Am I better in bed than his ex?

  You’re better than that THOUGHT, damn it!

9. Does he know how lucky he is?

Jeez, seriously?

10. Does he know I KNOW how lucky I am?

Yeah, he must do.

11. Will my dad kick up a fuss about having to wear a waistcoat at the wedding?

What?! What wedding!

12. Am I the kind of daughter-in-law his mum would want?

You’ve met her once and you forgot her name with nerves, so probably not.

13. I wonder what that friend of his is like in bed.

Yep, definitely emotionally cheated with that one.

14. Do his mates prefer me to his ex?

Have to, surely.

15. Will he be nervous before he proposes?

Where will it happen? Will I expect it?

16. Should I break up with him… for…just…you know… no reason.

Why? Why?
 

17. Wait, do I still fancy him?

Oh my God, that’s the meanest thing I’ve ever thought.

18. Are that couple jealous of us right now?

Ah here, get over yourself.

19. Why does he make that unfunny joke ALL the time?

It makes my teeth hurt.

20. I love that colour on him.

His wedding tie should be that colour.

If they only knew.

Oh don't get us wrong, we love being girls. It’s fun, it’s glamorous and…OK, fine…sometimes we’d like to be our boyfriends for a day. There, we said it.

Just look at the ease with which they glide through life while we suffer through car-to-bar shoes and monthly mini breakdowns.

Here are just ten reasons those lads of ours have it easy!

1) We wake up and mentally put aside at least half an hour to wash, do our hair and put on our make-up; this is before we even get to breakfast.

They wake up and mentally put aside eleven minutes to eat, wash, dress, scuffle with their flatmate over COD and still manage to leave the house before we’ve even located the damn eyeliner.

2) We alternate between three different outfits in one hour when deciding on an ensemble for a night out.

 They alternate between three different shirts in one year and no one seems to notice.

3) We suffer through an existential crisis once a month.

They suffer through an existential crisis when the off- licence is out of craft beer.

4) We must tend to our nails, eyebrows, hair and waxing appointments while also maintaining a normal work/life balance.

They must go to the barbers once every six weeks for approximately fifteen minutes.

5) We are always cold. If our pumps aren’t keeping our feet warm, then our bangin’ leather jacket is doing nothing to keep the breeze out.

They are always comfortable. If their snug trainers aren’t keeping them warm, you can be damn sure their fleece-lined jackets are.

6) We panic over every little quibble among our friends.

They panic over every little piece of food that goes missing from the fridge.

7) We wash our teeth, remove our make-up, brush our hair and apply our moisturiser before we can even THINK about getting into bed.

They wash their teeth, drop their trousers, tumble into bed and start snoring before we’ve even located the cotton balls.

8) We constantly have sore feet.

They NEVER have sore feet.

9) We wake up and look like a different person to the goddess that got into bed.

They wake up and look the same as they did when they got into bed, if not cuter. Dammit!

10) We get to date someone who considers Call of Duty a suitable dinner topic.

They get to date US!

We demand some changes.

We’re told that homemade presents are often the way to go if you really want to wow your significant other. They’re considerate, they show you care, and if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body, they’re hell on earth.

If you’re a pro with a glue gun and a pair of scissors, then spare a though for the rest of us who try to impress our other halves with badly drawn cartoons, ice-pop stick boxes and dodgy-looking knitted hats.

Frankly, we’re lucky they stay with us considering some of the junk we proffer as ‘gifts’.

Expectation: You’ll melt his heart with your thoughtful, loving present.
Reality: You’ll melt the counter-top because you thought a blow torch might be necessary.

 

Expectation: You’ll make a CD of all his favourite songs.
Reality: You’ll make his life difficult by forcing him to climb into the attic and search for an actual CD player.

 

Expectation: You’ll blow his mind by referencing a cute in-joke from your first date.
Reality: You’ll blow his mind trying to figure out why there’s a bad sketch of a pug dog saying ‘Remember?! Har har har”

 

Expectation: You’ll create a photo montage of all your favourite relationship moments.
Reality:You’ll create fear in his heart with badly hacked photos more akin to a stalker’s lair.

 

Expectation: You’ll shock him with your creative flair and eye for detail.
Reality: You’ll shock (and mildly frustrate) him with your inability to stay within the lines.

 

OK girls, we can't be expected to be amazing at everything.

We console them when their team loses, we let them make us dinner 'cos we're nice like that and we laugh at their jokes (Because, well, they're hilarious) so don't beat yourself up if the last present you gave him was met with confusion and a whispered "Awwww, baaaabe…what is it?"

Weekends away with your other half are a chance to relax, unwind and reacquaint yourselves with each other minus the stress of work and responsibilities.

Oh, why can’t we have a weekend away EVERY weekend? Well, because they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, that’s why.

Here are just a few reasons they don't pan out as planned.

Expectation: Your hotel bedroom will look like the suite in Pretty Woman.
Reality: Your hotel bedroom will look like the €59.00 room you paid for.

Expectation: You will have a long, lingering, romantic bath together.
Reality: You will have a bruise on your bum after slipping in the broken shower.

Expectation: You’ll order room service and have breakfast in bed.
Reality: You’ll order your boyfriend to give you the energy bar you saw in his sports bag last night. Mmm… squishy.

Expectation: You’ll languish on your kingsize bed in robes and chat about your future.
Reality: You’ll languish outside in the hall because staring at that brown swirly bedroom carpet is making you claustro.

Expectation: You’ll take a long romantic walk on the beach.
Reality: You’ll take a long, romantic walk around the Joe Dolan statue…which is nowhere near the sea…something you knew when you booked your €59 room in the midlands.

Expectation: You’ll swan through the hotel lobby like that couple everyone wants to be.
Reality: You’ll swan off furiously because he lost the damn swipe card for the room.

Expectation: He’ll meet you in the hotel bar and you’ll gorge on each other’s fabulousness all evening.
Reality: He’ll meet you wandering around the lobby looking confused because the bedroom carpet gave you a mild migraine.

Expectation: You’ll have mad, passionate sex on your king size bed, then the floor, then the bed again, then the chair…
Reality: You’ll have mediocre sex once all weekend because the damn mattress is squeakier than Joe Pasquale.

Expectation: You’ll want to do it all over again.
Reality: You’ll want to do it all over again.

Awwww!

With phrases like ‘swiping right’ and ‘POF hook-ups’ becoming part of our daily discourse, we were eager to find out just how many of you have taken the plunge and uploaded a personal profile in a bid to find Mr. Right…or in some cases, Mr. Right Now.

You ladies were split almost directly down the middle about whether there was a stigma attached to this modern dating method and yet a massive 71% of you have tried it! 

Even more impressive is the fact that 40% of these dates have turned into serious relationships. Not too shabby!

Curiosity was the main motivator for all you online daters out there, while in true Irish form the notion that it was bound to be a bit of craic came in a close second. We’re just slaves to the banter, aren’t we?

The majority of you use Tinder as your digital cupid and your response was overwhelmingly positive, but we weren’t surprised to hear that some encounters were a little less than perfect!

Declarations of love on the first date (no, really) and confirmation that guys have no problem lying about their height online were just some of the deets you generous girls disclosed to us.

Looking out for your fellow ladies, you advised each other not to be too trusting, not to message the guy for too long before eventually meeting and to remember that many wonderful relationships all started with that first swipe right!

After seven weeks of dating, an Australian woman received a text from the guy she was seeing which told her in no uncertain terms that her behaviour was inappropriate and would not be tolerated.

What had she done? She hadn’t updated her relationship status on Facebook for one, that’s what! How DARE she?

Here girls, is a list of reasons this lady was given her relationship marching orders.
 

Man, dating is hard!
