How To...

Deal with Cheese-y One Liners

"Do you have a map? 'Cause I'm getting lost in your eyes." 

"Excuse me, but I think I dropped something... My JAW."

"Well, here I am. What were your other two wishes?"

...

What are they thinking? Is it meant to impress you? Do you laugh it off? ...Or scoff? 

Fear not, I have the perfect tactics. 

Method One: Cheese vs Cheese

Like they say, fight fire with fire. Same goes for cheese... Kinda.

Line: "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

- "Yes it did, but I'd fall again if it meant meeting you".

Method Two: Cheese vs Sleaze

Let's just get straight to the point, you know what they're getting at.

Line: "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

- "So, so  much. Will you massage me?" *indicate to chosen place(s)* [use with caution]. 

Method Three: Cheese vs Freeze

Put an end to it. 

Line: "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

- "I'm in Hell, aren't I?"

All joking aside, look for the deeper meaning behind the [deeply unoriginal] lines. They're just trying to get to know you, be flattered! And play nice! 

Love,

Playing Games [with affairs of the heart].

Whether someone is doing it consciously, or subconsciously, I hate it. 

Y'all know what I'm talking about here, I bet we've all played games like:

'The Waiting Game', 'The Three Day Rule' and 'The Pursuit of Jealousy©' [*strongly recommended for two-players only*.]

I don't know whether it's just me over-thinking and analysing every little move, maybe they're not playing games at all and it's in my head. But I personally just prefer to be direct about my intentions, no messing around (I've actually been told that I have no subtlety). 

Although I can understand why we may resort to them, for whatever reasons: not wanting to look desperate and trying to appear cool(er) (definitely in my case). I guess the greatest risk is that someone could get hurt, hence all the motives. You may be secretly hoping that they fail the first round, to save your own feelings, but yet get disappointed if they do...

So, in the love game, when the stakes are high and your heart is on the line, will you fold, or go all in?

Love,

Timing

"Love is all a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late. If I'd live in another time or place... My story might have had a very different ending." -2046

Have you ever met any one, that under all the right circumstances, they'd be the one for you...? 

Or is timing just an excuse? 

To an extent, I think that if there was potentially something special you could share together, then you'd do everything you could about it and make it happen.

Alternatively, you could also meet someone wrong at the right time...

Does timing count?

Love,
