‘Loneliness can be fun; partnershi­ps can corrode’ SERIOUSLY CYRUS

- Over the past six years I’ve been in a string of relationsh­ips which usually last three or four mushy meetings, because I get bored of people. Lately, a woman called up my mother and revealed my escapades. What followed next was a motherly outrage. How do

PN, this is one of the strangest questions I’ve ever received. Almost as strange as the one that asked me why I don’t use conditione­r in my hair? Which, frankly was uncalled for, as I do apply conditione­r, albeit on a yearly basis only. Why feel guilty, when your only crime is breaking up quickly? The Romantic Almanac, penned by Timothy Albright, clearly states that all parties have the right to break up with other parties, and on any day off the week, barring Sundays. Please don’t bother with the identity of the complainan­t. Instead pacify and convince your mother that you respect all, but can’t stand to be with anyone for more than 15 minutes. And remember do all this on any day, barring Sunday.

Mr.Love, getting numbers of posters and then actually calling is generally quite creepy. It’s good however, that you started talking about the photograph­y competitio­n. After 3 or 4 calls you could ask her out for tea or coffee, to discuss and fine tune details. If she says yes, please carry money for the coffee. If she is vague and hesitant, it means you’ve crept her out calling the number from the poster. So far so good. Take the next step and let’s hope you get your, ‘kodak’ moment.

AA, normally, with a little rejection, I’d give it a chance. But there is something in your letter which is making me panic. You mentioned that when you try to approach her, she runs away. She flees from you. ‘She’, runs like a deer from a predator. Or Priyanka Chopra from quality cinema. Take your pick. Your ‘I Love You’ has terrified her. And her running away, has terrified me. She avoids you like you are Kim Jong Un’s haircut. Please leave her alone. Please.

XYZ, don’t knock loneliness. It can be fun. Partnershi­ps corrode. After sometime together, most couples have nothing to say to each other, in any case. there is no such thing as I’m too busy, or I’m too unlucky, to find love. At least not with the amount of dating websites out there. In the digital age, in fact, there is too much love, available. So stop feeling sorry for yourself and, put yourself out there more. Even people who appear on in Big Boss House find love.
