>Have you ever wondered why men rarely marry the women they date for years?  You date a guy all the way through campus, see him through the roughest times of his life and stick with him when the world is against him then he suddenly dumps you only to marry a girl he just met 3 months ago?

It’s like you’ve lost your favourite jewellery. Sofa cushions are turned inside out; dusty corners of the room are massaged for the clue that will lead you to that glint of silver. Spotting the place where the ‘Afropolitan’ girl is comfortable, where the ‘Afropolitan’ male is content in our cities is times like finding that missing jewel.

>I had never given much thought to the art of not caring until a few months ago when my mother awakened the concept in me.

>Two days after a devastating breakup, I had lunch with the biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, the person who probably knows more about the science of romance and long-term love than anyone else on the planet. Our meeting wasn’t a ploy for tips on how to win him back but to discuss her latest study.

>When it comes to dating; we have all done some really stupid mistakes. But don’t you worry about it, each one of us makes these stupid mistakes; we have all been there.

>I used to cling to the idea that a great partner – one with no flaws will come and sweep me off my feet, on first encounter. But that notion seems to be far-fetched and I learnt to push it under the rug lest it led me to a life of constant illusion.

>Life doesn’t always pan out the way we hope it would. From our career goals, up to the more personal relationship issues, everything seems to head downhill. I’ve always been a compassionate woman, I’m known to many as the kindest lady one can be, for this, I find myself vulnerable and a little naive.
