It’s Not Love, but Loneliness

Attention breeds affection. And almost everyone has too much time to give and throw around right now. Many of the folks chatting with you late into the nights and in the early hours of the morning aren’t really into you; they are just bored, lonely, alone and most likely, IDLE.

Post COVID-19 will be the true test of whatever you think you have or share with that fellow right now.

In reality, many people are just using each other to while away excess time, catch fun, cure boredom and feel wanted. You would just be too wrong to interpret their attention to mean “love and a deep interest in you” without first considering that there is a lockdown in their house and COVID-19 out there in our streets. Understanding this variable changes everything about your interpretation.

See, I don’t even think you really care about him/her as much as you fantasize. COVID-19 is the one making us mushy-mushy up and down. This is not our real face/heart/attitude/predisposition o. Na condition make this crayfish bend. And once the pandemic condition goes away, all of us will return to default factory setting mode. All this love love na wash, na face mask, na an idle heart is the romantic adventure workshop. Post COVID-19 will be the true test of whatever you think you have or share with that fellow right now.

Here is my counsel — don’t commit to any relationship until COVID-19 is over. Until normal life resumes, you cannot really interpret how much they are into you. You cannot tell how much time and attention they can really sacrifice for you. YOU DEFINITELY DON’T WANT TO BE GHOSTED.

And if anyone tries to be super-duper romantic towards you, you need to read DEFINE THE NICENESSso that you can know how to DEFINE THE NICENESS.
