We’re all on different timelines for love and fun, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith. If you want a good dating life, focus first on creating a robust social lifeRead more Leading questionsI have a bit of an embarrassing situation: I’m 24, single, a lesbian, and I’ve never been with anyone! I have had depression for a few years – a combination of family losses and years caring for my terminally ill mother, only going out to work. It’s been a lot, and I’m only just starting to feel better.People I know either met someone in school and are happily coupled up or they were able to have wild “coming-of-age” experiences at university. Lots of sex, club nights and friends. I’ve got life experience some of those people haven’t had. But I feel as though I missed out on that opportunity to practise dating and sex. It seems that to meet someone nowadays it’s through work, apps or on a night out. I work in a male-dominated industry. There are no gay bars within 70 miles of me, but I’...

2 hours ago After Dad died I dressed like an extra from The Matrix. Now I’m blooming again like the flowers on my psychedelic new vest | Nick Buckley

For a while I lost my sense of self and dressed in void-core black. Finally I’m finding myself again in a new, colour-filled wardrobeFirst my dad died, followed by my gran, the resulting trauma forced me to quit my job, the love of my life left and before I knew it I was an only child who didn’t know who they were any more. All inside 18 months. I didn’t recognise the person who showed up at social gatherings, spoke for me or stared back from the mirror. That vanished person really enjoyed playfully dressing up but the new me only felt comfortable wearing black – an unconscious tonal shift to match life’s darkness.As a kid I’d often be deep in my puppeteer mum’s dress-up box, and she gave me a small clothing allowance from an early age (which I’m sure she sacrificed her own needs to provide) that gave me autonomy over my image. I was the only boy in my high school sewing class and for a time I wanted to be a tailor. I’m straight but my choice of clothing became a target for homophob...

4 hours ago How I learned to love people I disagree with (by dressing up as my mother) | Amrou Al

After years of militant bravado in my art and politics, I now seek to empathise with people I used to write off as enemiesWhen I look back at some of the opinion pieces I wrote and the art I made in the 2010s, I can’t help but cringe at the conviction with which I presented myself and my work. Like many of my twentysomething contemporaries, I spoke with delusional ferocity about the “evils of the straight cis white man” and described anyone who disagreed with me as an out-and-out enemy. As a queer and Arab person in Britain who had long felt excluded from the mainstream conversation, it was thrilling to be making forceful and oppositional interventions in public debate.Thinking back to this version of myself, I understand now that my combative approach to political disagreement – which was admittedly part of the spirit of the age, marked by culture wars escalating across the social media landscape – was, in my case, a response to personal trauma. In my mid-20s I was a struggling art...
