‘Wait and watch, keep your cards in your pocket’

I am in love with my school friend. But, he is very difficult to understand and too different. Our common friend likes him and has already confessed her love for him. He hasn’t replied to her. I have heard that he likes her. I don’t want to hurt the girl who likes him as she is my bestie. He doesn’t know that I like him. I feel he is drifting away from my friendship. What should I do other than confessing my love to him? Bunny Bunny, in the words of Elvis Presley, ‘Don’t’. In the words of Beatles ‘Honey Don’t’. She’s made the first move, first let’s see how that plays out. Let’s wait for his response. Your spies says that he is interested in her. As you are unpaid ‘honorary’ love manager, I have to advise you to stay put. Besides, he’s also simultaneous by pulling away from you. So, I say, please don’t confess anything to anyone. If you feel stiffed talk to a plant. Plants, I have found are very good in keeping secrets. After a few relationships you may even find you prefer plants to men, and rightly so. For now wait and watch. Keep your cards in pocket.

I saw this girl at a place and managed to get her number. I chatted with her on Whatsap for months. We never met. When I asked her if we can start dating, she said she wasn’t interested in a relationship. Nowadays, our chats are confined to wishing on birthday and festivals. I like her but don’t know what to do. AM AM, your crush has already declined your request, You, only greet each other on special occasions, and that it appears is fixed to respond. This kind of cordial response means nothing. She is not interested. You’ll have a better chance going out with a festival. So please Whatsapp the next one.

I dated my first love for two-anda-half years. We broke up three years back. He was emotionally and physically abusive. He recently contacted me and asked for my forgiveness. I’ve forgiven him. If we continue talking, I’d fall for him, yet again. Should I trust him considering what he did to me in the past or should I move on and just be friends with this person? Confused soul Confused Soul, I believe everyone deserves a second chance. But I also believe that people should roam around only with one shoe, and that all Hip-hop music should be expunged and destroyed. So, let me give you the politicians answer. Which is Yes & No, or 50/50. Or maybe you should give him a second chance. You seem to really like him, maybe he has changed. Some people get fatter, some thinner, and some stop behaving like psychotic nutcases. I say video tape his promise to be kind and nice to you, and keep it as collateral. Chalo, just to get me to stop writing anymore, give him a second chance.
