love guru vs love victims

It seems that my once-in-a-blue-moon nocturnal appearances in msn have always been greeted by love victims. Never mind that I’ve no credentials in Psychology whatsoever or that I’m no love guru myself - they don’t seem to care.

I can’t help but suspect that few of them are lying in wait, all ready to test the threshold of my patience.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy to offer a listening ear and my honest opinion, especially so when a good friend of mine is concerned. But pleaaaseeee…. if you ever need to talk, don’t ask me for my opinion once and then again, and again, and again just cos my initial reply wasn’t what you wanted to hear.

Anyway, thought I’d compile a few of them here in case there were similar love victims.


........................................................................................................................
CASE 1:

Guy is interested in Girl, who is pretty and popular. Guy asked Girl out, she accepts invitation. Date went “alright” although “alright” really meant “different” which really, really meant “awkward cos there weren’t many things in common”.

Girl loves cutesy annoying songs which Guy absolutely detests. But Guy complements them anyway. “Nice,” Guy said. He even pretends to enjoy the music when he is actually gagging. 'Isn’t this what they term as “sacrifice”?'

Guy believes that love is blind and that he is behaving how he is because he is in love with her.

To guys:
Firstly, if there’s anything a girl hates, it’s deceit.
Secondly, please think with your brain, not with your …
Interest based on physical attraction alone cannot withstand the test of time.

To girls:
If a guy tells you that you both have lots in common, take it with a pinch of salt.
Then wait and see.


........................................................................................................................
CASE 2:

Guy likes Girl. But something came between them and they lost touch. Finally, somehow the friendship was rekindled.

Then Guy confesses to Girl that he used to like her. At the same time he assures her that the feelings are long gone – he lied. He didn’t want her to run away.

To guys:
What is the objective of lying again? A girl who learns that she has been struck off your list will similarly strike you off HER list.

To girls:
This is a rare case. If a guy says he’s over you, no need for second-guessing - he means it.


........................................................................................................................
CASE 3:

Guy loses sleep over quarrel with best friend, Girl. He is unable to focus at work, and is trying all sorts of methods to seek her forgiveness. He doesn’t even realize that he has stopped courting another girl he was interested in.

“She’s my best friend, my soul mate,” Guy said regretfully as he recalls all the hurt he had caused her. He explains that she know him best and feels terrible at the thought of losing the friendship.

To guys:
Best friend?!!!
If you’ve found a soul mate in a girl, that means she’s THE one. Don’t let her go.
Isn’t it obvious?

To girls:
If a guy fails to see or acknowledge just how important you are in his life, LEAVE!


........................................................................................................................
CASE 4:

Guy hits on Girl B only to learn that her best friend is his ex-girlfriend, A whom he secretly had never been able to let go since their break up. He had always regarded their split to be one of unrequited love.

He tries to find ways to chat with Girl A without Girl B’s knowledge but it seems like she’s avoiding him.

To guys:
Come clean.

To girls:
Good guys are hard to find but good friends are even harder.

........................................................................................................................

So there, hopefully, by doing this, I’ll be sparing friends of love victims the agony of repeating their advices over and over again.

Anyway, a couple of updates:

Case 1: Guy snaps out of love blindness and finally displays signs of common sense.

Case 3: Guy and Girl are now in a relationship – yes, they realized that they’re meant for each other… finally, heh.


Note: the love victims were males
