Boring Valentine? Get a ‘social coach’

Ever heard of a ’social coach’ device? Suzanne Harrington has and she’s here to tell you all about it in time for Valentine’s Day.

So you’re off out for Valentine’s. Dinner a deux. Great. But what if it’s not? What if it’s boring? Even with the roses and candlelight and romantic shellfish —because nothing says love like a giant prawn — what if the conversation is a bit flat? A bit yawny?

You might be with your long-term partner, who hasn’t said anything interesting since 1998, or a new date who enjoys talking about their gluten intolerance — so what do you do? Fake your own death?
