Happy Valentine’s Day to all my reality chicks and reality dudes! Scroll down for messages of lurve...

Firstly, I hope you’ll all forgive my extended hiatus. Even superheros need time out from dealing with the lovelorn, but now I’m back and ready to tend to your every need, blog my little heart out and think up polls to tempt and torture you when you probably should be doing something else. Like finding true love, filing those reports in your ‘ignore’ pile or figuring out how to cook the perfect risotto. (It’s all about a sneaky glass of wine, folks. One for you, one for the rice. One for you, one for the rice. One for you... OK, OK, you get the picture.)
Where was I? Ah yes. During my break, I was deluged by a number of nakedly honest queries (sadly, via email) from readers about a variety of topics – everything from how to talk dirty in bed, to guys and gut feelings and whether Grey’s Anatomy season 3 has really jumped the shark. For RSVP veterans convinced all blokes online are either a) married, b) freaky psycho stalkers or c) going to turn up to first dates wearing socks and sandals, I’ll also be revealing a nice, novel way to hook up online.
Ask Reality Chick is also going to get a helluva lot more action this year. People, I’m here to help. I can’t stress that enough. And my voyeuristic side is, frankly, desperate to hear what the heck’s going on in all your relationships, so bring on the curly questions. Stat.
So, here’s to V-Day – a time of joy and heartache, cheesy cards and whinging maitre‘ds. Apparently restaurants hate couples. What’s up with that? If you’re coupled, you have my blessing to demand the window seat, feed each other and smooch away to your heart’s content. If you’re single, you don’t have sit at home and watch Remains of the Day. V-Day parties are bound to be bigger and hopefully better than last year. (Two words: pole dancing competitions.) And if not, a vodka shooter or ten will make it all better.
I’d love to hear what you got up to – drop me a line. And don’t forget to pop in next Tuesday for all new blogs, Q&As and much more.
Love,
reality chick

Oh Owl, my elegant fowl. Let's go to sea in a beautiful pea green boat. Love you madly, your pussycat. x

nat... I know you know I think its a marketing ploy, but L-O-V-E, I love you, even when you burn my toast all is forgotten when you bake a delicious roast. Even when you accidently kneed me in the balls I know it was because of the rush to get off my clothes. So when I say I love you, its not just you but everything you do! pip

Love you truly, madly, deeply for always. Happy V Day, Anon.
P.S. and I don't even mind that you gave me the clap.

P...Whoever invented long-distance lurve is a real a-hole! So good thing you're here, rocking my world with your baby blues and berry smoothies in the morning. Love you chicken licken. Rx

DD, Roses are red, violets are blue, without you, I’d be in the poo. Love you bub.

To Bib, from Bub: It's been 44 years and in the dance of life, lets keep on twirling. Happy Valentine's Day.

am I too late? ...Hey D, you're the apple to my pie, the gin to my tonic. I'll be your daggy valantine anytime. P
