The Phase

The Moment

'Timing, timing, timing' is the dating equivalent of 'location, location, location'. With all other factors being perfectly equal, sometimes the match will come together beautifully and at other times it won't. How therefore do you know when the time is right?


 * The Foul Weather Friend. Be around for him when he's just been rejected for all 150 jobs that he's just applied for or embarrassed himself in public.
