Honey, this is how it's spelt-l-o-v-e. Why are you so shy? Or are you cynical? Or is it that you haven't found the right person to fall in love with? You gotta learn to love. And who's gonna teach you that? Surprise, surprise-you!

Come on, start collecting some fun-what are you gonna tell your grandchildren? That you never fell in love? Love is worth all the hurt in the world, pal. Get looking!

Look, search, research and then, love. Hmmm, nice going, since there are too many spurious goods floating around. You hit the bull's-eye every time you venture out. Caution breeds experience, which in turn gives you intuition you can trust. It's just that sometimes too much caution can lead to heartbreak even before you get started. Have your escape routes charted out in advance!

Hold on to your horses! What's the hurry? You might just lose out on the real thing if you keep falling in love left, right and centre with every Tom, Sally, Dick and Maggie. Must applaud your stamina though! Love is not a fastfood joint, it is a gourmet restaurant. Savour it instead of bite, gulp and wipe. You are the only one who is going to lose out if you don't slow down. Know how bad indigestion feels?!
