All right, it’s about time we view our love lives with the help of geometry. Believe me, this is the funniest our relationships are ever gonna get!

Hehe! Caught up in that bubble of the dream of first love? This is right where your journey of love starts. For me it was a planet shared by SRK and Mr. Mission Impossible. But it could even be the hot math teacher for you. Just make sure you’re making the sweetest mistake, and we’re good to go.

Now, this is the time when the symmetry of your love is as perfect as it gets. She’s just like the girl you wanted, and he’s exactly the guy you dreamt about and all the purposely fueled coincidences always lead the two of you together. Well, take these as the signs from the Gods of love; you’re in love – a love that’s meant to be.

That’s when the sparks of your relationship start to fade and you try to work things out (calling the awesome friend patrol to rescue!). The cycle starts and repeats itself over and over again and you run in those circles. Your relationship finally gets dumped down the steep to the point of no return.

Now this is when the dreamily perfect (and initially square) symmetry of your love expands to accommodate more. ‘Oh! You’re so much like me’ takes you to ‘we’re just meant to be together’. Now, this is when you strengthen your relationship with the practical (rectangular) harmony of your differences and common interests.

Do you like someone? Just carry on waiting and this is what your love triangle would swell up into. You like her, she woos him, and he hits on her friend, who BTW is hooked up with another guy, that guy’s in a sexting relationship with the girl you like in the first place and the fixes go on till you don’t get over keeping your feelings mummified!

I just love this one. Imagine the Bollywood’s cliché BFF romance – you share an epic relationship, understand each other, care about each other and even see through each other’s feelings but the risk of losing this precious friendship never lets you try and see what more you could be. A single tear and silent applause!

Only us Indians would get this joke. You love someone so dearly, but a traditional life (as always) isn’t that easy. Your love is out of reach, and lover out of sight. But hey, you still spend the days, with all your heart and hope, waiting just to get one glimpse of your ‘Eid Ka Chand.’ Isn’t it adorable!
8. A Circle

This one’s for all the self proclaimed hunks. I can tell these people from the smoke their pants exude, coz, hello, they are lying all the time. Speaking with an ‘18+ only’ subtext, these people think they are some studs and thereby, entitled to get into the pants of all girls they talk to!

You are the geeky genius who, by the virtue of all his good deeds (or the 90+% and sure prospects of a 7 figure package) has ended up with the most glamorous girl of college. FYI, the multiple sides are a direct reference to the many (multiple many, like a lot many) suitors and love interest of your beloved, and you, hon, are now also weeding out the others reaching the side of your hon, while keeping her. Haha! Never thought of that one now, did you?

Everything starts from a dot they say, but sadly for you, my friends, looking from the vantage point of your non-existing love story; it looks more like a dead end. This is the situation I love to call the ‘Forever Alone Zone’. But if you’re here after all (like so many of us) love yourself to make the most of it.
Cheers!
