As Valentine’s Day approaches love is very much in the air here at Social Media Library Towers. In fact, one of our team even bought his partner flowers 7 days in advance so keen was he to jump on the love wagon. They’re cheaper that way, see. Anyway, here are our top relationship, love and dating blogs:

Baggage Reclaim – Written by a lady who wishes to convey the complexities of being a woman, this is a blog on all aspects of relationships, pre-, post- and during. Not a site for man haters, nor a site for those looking to seduce their ideal man, Baggage Reclaim instead provides real stories and sensible advice on issues that have affected us all.

Dating Diaries – Unusual, in that it’s written by a man, The Daily Mirror’s Dating Diaries looks at relationship advice with a celebrity angle, using real life celeb stories as hooks for features on romance.

We Love Dates – This blog, run by one of the many online dating sites out there, gives advice specifically on the dos and don’ts of online dating.

Love, Love, Love

Dating 4 Dummies – This blog collects articles that provide tips on dating from around the web, meaning it’s a perfect place to go the day before the big night.

Belle Du Jour – The diaries of this former call girl have now been published and turned into a BBC TV series. It’s fair to say she knows a thing or two about dating, sex and relationships and here, she reveals all in uncompromising fashion.

The Dating Diaries Of A 30 Something Woman – A 30 something female newly returned to dating after 11 years, this blog follows the classic dating diary template. It’s straight, honest (sometimes painfully so) and grimly fascinating.

The Divorce Doctor – And  if  it all goes wrong, we have The Divorce Doctor, here to provide advice and comment on the bit when the relationship ends and the fire is finally extinguished.

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher

And finally, the world’s longest married couple, Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher, will be answering your questions on Twitter this Valentine’s Day. Ask away @longestmarried
