It’s amazing. This is why I started blogging I think. I love the variety of responses, advice and anecdotes/quotations that each person’s blog trigger. And to all the people who took the time to post a comment, I am truly grateful, Thank you.
So the advice was varied. One person said – don’t wait for it, if you stop looking it will come to you. The other said, don’t wait – but don’t stop either, don’t peg every guy you meet as Mr. Right, but as Mr. Right Now. The third says, just don’t sit around and wait, go and actively look for it, nothing comes by sitting around and pining over things lost – there is a split milk quote that goes something like that...
After all that, it’s now time for my cat theory: you guys asked for it ;-))
Ok, so there is this cat. He loves milk, as most cats’ do. Sometimes, the cat has to venture into the kitchen to get his milk. So the cat sees milk on the stove. The cat goes to the milk but accidentally sits on the flame. Now this cat has been burned in the ass. And instead of watching where he sits the next time, he vows never to sit again.
Wait!! I don’t think there is milk in the story. The milk came from the not crying over spilt milk.
Basically the advice is, don’t be the cat that sat on a stove and vowed never to sit again.
Still not getting it? If you’ve been burned in love, don’t vow never to love again, cause everywhere you sit may not be a stove.
I’m sure where the theory fits in terms of your comments. But basically we all feel the same thing. Expressed in different ways. Which is why this is so much fun. Please don’t stop the comments. You guys make me smile.

22 reasons (see, numbering is contagious) I could have asked in response to your theory :
1. why cat?
2. what kind of a stove?
3. does this theory have a pattern check on other members of the cat family?
4. is theory applicable only to cat?
5. if human, masculine or feminine?
6. was it day or night, when the cat entered the kitchen?
7. did the cat live in the immediate or alternate vicinity of the kitchen?
8. how, in heavens name, do you manage to ‘accidentally’ sit on a stove?
9. why sit at all? Do cats usually sit while dinking / stealing milk?
10. if the milk was on the stove, why not take off the lid, drink and run away with it?
11. was the milk hot when it fell off?
12. at what point of proximity did the cat realize that it had cooked it’s rear?
13. in most cases it would be from a few inches away. How many millimeters deep for this one?
14. for a species with the fastest reflexes, for how long was it in contact with the stove?
15. why sit at all? I really just can’t get it…???
16. was it fatal to any vital cat activity.
17. what vital activities does the cat perform with it’s ass?
18. do cats have kinks?
19. why does the cat even ‘think’ about sitting, ‘from next time’?
20. after such heated instances with it’s posterior, does the cat still like milk?
21. so is there really some milk in the theory?
22. in theory, did the cat cry over the spilt milk?
Then I thought, to each her own. Moreover, we are saying the same thing at the end of the day right? In Punjabi, there is a saying that goes “nathha singh- prem singh, one and the same thing”. Moreover I don’t want to come across as mean.
But then again, the subject is not the cat. It’s love. And if you plan to apply this theory in the environs of love, it fails to hold true. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a thought. Nice one. But it cannot be the kind of theory you should be making if you are searching or hunting for love. Simply because the cat has 9 lives to fall in love. You have only one.
May I suggest an upgrade to le comportement d'une tigresse?
:-)
Analogy wise milk and love is the same thing as per your theory. It’s just not there.
Then why ever cry in the first place for a love that never existed. Save your tears.
When you get real milk (and your ass remains intact) you won’t spill it. Hence it won’t make you cry.
Have fun...
