Take It From Me

When

Event Status

Modern love is a minefield, and trust us … the last thing you want to do is turn to Yahoo Answers for advice. When you have a romantic problem, it’s best to ventilate it, get it out in the open, let that conundrum breathe! With this in mind, we present the return of Take It From Me – a forum for strangers to dissect your love life and dish out ill-informed and context-free advice.

Anonymously submit your romantic quandaries and quagmires and our panellists will puzzle over your problem before setting you on the path to happily ever after. Did you first hold hands and cuddle during a screening of The Commitments – only to realise they were merely the frightened actions of a commitment-phobe? Are you searching for the best way to slide out of your crush’s DMs and into something more ‘comfortable’? Our advisers will bring their wealth of experience from mostly irrelevant fields, and nut out some solutions to your dilemma.

Those who are smugly and insufferably coupled-up can come along, too! What better date night activity than smirking into each other’s eyes while listening to the woes of the lovelorn?

This event will be Auslan interpreted.

Presented in partnership with The Toff in Town.
