The Love Clinic team spoke to Ms Woon Seik Yen, a charming young lady who’s currently working in the financial industry, for her views on dating and relationships.

Good temper, trustworthy, able to maintain his cool when things go wrong.

9. How would you advise a 30-year-old lady who has been single all her life, who's now wishing to find a life partner?

COMMITMENT!
