At Kulu Kulu you sit around a conveyer belt and wait for your food to come to you. It’s reasonably healthy, quick and tasty Japanese faire, with a selection of sushi, sashimi and a few pleasant surprises.

Face up to your fling
New year blues aren’t the only thing you need to worry about this January. If all that mulled wine meant you got a little carried away with someone under the mistletoe at the work Christmas party, it may be embarrassing to face them in the office on your first week back. Unlike a random snog in a nightclub, you have to face your ill-advised fling five days a week.
While you may have acted on a mutual attraction, you are not always mutually agreed on where it will end. Media executives Beatrice, 28, and Andrew, 31, got it on at their Christmas party last year and now can’t stand the sight of each other. A tricky situation as they have to sit opposite one another every day.

Jealousy: how to cope
If you’re jealous of other men
Instinct may tell you it’s OK to punch someone for looking at your bird, but better judgement should tell you otherwise. Here’s a newsflash, if you find your girlfriend attractive, undoubtedly other men will too.
Relationship and psychosexual therapist Mo Kurimbokus says, “jealousy needs to be nipped in the bud, before it becomes destructive. You should talk to your partner about how you feel and they, in turn, should be able to reassure you.”
And if you’re just not one of those touchy-feely blokes who can open up easily? Kurimbokus suggests, “if you don’t talk about how you feel you’re left with two choices – the relationship will end up running into difficulties or you will have to put up with a bad relationship.”

Upping the ante in the dating stakes
Betting on the unknown is something poker players and singles do every day. Both involve big risks, and you'll crash and burn if you can't tell the truth from a bluff.
So in an effort to help the capital's singles improve their love chances, online gaming site PKR and dating website Lovestruck.com have set up a poker school, where techniques such as reading body language and spotting a bluff are applied to dating.
Patrick Binding, a 30-year-old education consultant from New Malden, went to the first event at the Hoxton Pony Club on Thursday to see if Lady Luck was on his side.

Dating double standards: now men are just as likely to get judged on their sex life
If there was ever a dating double standard that needed busting it was the one that decreed women who slept around were sluts, but men who did it were studs.
Well, things have moved on – men are just as likely as women to find themselves snubbed for having had too many sexual partners.
Calum Best is trying to shift his sleazy reputation in the MTV series Totally Calum Best. The show sees him trying to abstain from sex for 50 days to prove there’s more to him than just womanising. And he’s not the only one trying to put his sexually charged past behind him.
Christopher James, 26, has lost count of the number of women he’s bedded. As the man behind a club photography website, he gets to meet lots of beautiful women, and has taken full advantage of his opportunities. There is, however, a downside.

Romantic Hypnotherapy - curing shyness at The Summit Clinic
‘Relax and look into my eyes.” No, it’s not a date making a move, but it might help you get one. Hypnotherapy helps the love-shy to conquer their romantic fears.
The same techniques that help smokers quit and fatties lose weight are being used to boost confidence.
Hypnotist Philip Rainbird says: “Shyness is often compounded by low ego and poor self-image.” This can be helped through hypnosis.
“It can float the conscious mind out of its negative habits,” Rainbird says. “It takes the negative power out of images of others, particularly of desirable people.”
We sent two nervous singletons to The Summit clinic in Highgate to see if hypnosis can help you romantically. Rainbird used a combination of visualisation and relaxing techniques.

Love advice: The pitfalls of going older or younger
When super-producer Mark Ronson, 33, started dating 19-year-old model Daisy Lowe, the age difference raised a few eyebrows.
Now it seems the 14-year gap has proved too much. The couple have split after six months and Daisy was reportedly comforted by her ex-boyfriend Will Cameron, also 19. So does a decade between lovers mean it can’t work?

I don't want to kiss my boyfriend
Dear Amy
I have a boyfriend, who I’ve been 'going out' with for about 7 weeks. But I don’t feel right with him, and he wants to kiss me but I don’t want to. Not because I don’t know how to, I just don’t want to. I want to finish with him, but I no he'll be upset when I tell him. What can I say? By the way, I’m not the type to tell him over text or email...
Confused ..., 13
The simple answer to this is: if you don’t want to kiss anyone, then you don’t have to kiss anyone.
You obviously care about this person because you’re concerned he’ll be upset, but guilt is never a good enough reason to stay in a relationship.
Just because you don’t want to kiss him, it doesn’t mean you don’t like him. You might just not like him in that way and there’s nothing wrong with that either.

My sexuality: Am I gay?
As if life wasn’t confusing enough, your sexuality comes along and starts playing havoc. But what makes someone gay? Is there a specific turning point? How do you know if you’re gay?
People have been studying these questions for years and no one has come up with a definitive answer yet. Some people think being gay is down to genetics, others because of an event and other people think it’s down to the way you’re brought up.
No one really knows what make you attracted to someone – the same sex or otherwise. It might be the way they look, or their sense of humour, the way they dress, or none of the above.
