The Single Man The Uncles take us through the rough and tumble of single life, from building up the courage to approach people we like, to trying to get them interested and then, ultimately, being rejected by them. Along the way, the Uncles advise on who to avoid, the importance of the wingman and exactly how long to wait before making that first phone cal. |

Dating You'll probably never be under as much scrutiny in your life as when you're on a date. Everything's under the microscope from how you eat to how you behave, kiss and what personal information you reveal. In this episode the Uncles share their dating war stories as well as give us an insight into how to be a hero on a date, signs you're a friend and not a boyfriend and how to respond when they tell you they love you and you don't feel the same way. |

The Relationship So you've traversed the border from dating to relationship and you're feeling a bit jittery. It's OK, the Uncles are here to help us with the big questions of how to impress their mum, how to know if you're really in love, do your mates like your girlfriend and how would you know if they didn't? There's also that great philosophical quandary - when should you lie to your partner? And is withholding certain information a lie or sound relationship practice? |
