5 ways to shake off a guy

Raima

(Can’t stop laughing) I am the best person to answer this question (winks)!

1) Be overpossessive and insecure.

2) Show lack of confidence.

3) Don’t give him space, which means not letting him hang out with the boys.

4) Be suspicious. Call him all the time to find out where he is.

5) Don’t be faithful! (Smiles naughtily)

Riya

Ignore. Don’t answer his calls most of the time and then make silly excuses! Sometimes being direct and honest makes a guy run away (laughs). But ignoring him

is the best way, actually!

5 tips to be in the dating game

Raima

1) Be popular, be loved by all.

2) Try to have a conversation with every man you meet.

3) Be attractive.

4) Be independent, not clingy. Men like women who can fend for themselves. Of course men like women who are slightly dependent on them too because they like being protective... but not completely dependent!

5) Have a mind of your own and when you go out, take some decisions yourself too.

Riya

1) Be yourself.

2) Don’t set any rules from the start.

3) Do not expect him to change.

4) Stop finding faults.

5) Breathe and let him breathe. But make sure you are his breath!

5 things you should do to get over a break-up

Raima

1) Cut off all ties with the guy for a while. Cut off ties with his friends too. Don’t go to the same places you went with him!

2) Go on a holiday.

3) Take your mind off by doing a course or getting busy with work.

4) Don’t call him even if you get drunk!

5) Have girls’ night outs and pamper yourself. Just know that there is plenty more fish in the sea! It’s his loss!

Riya

1) Go on a holiday.

2) Concentrate on your work.

3) Catch up with old friends.

4) Read.

5) Spend time with your family.

5 reasons why it’s great to be single

Raima

1) You are not answerable to anybody. If you feel like going on a holiday, you can just get up and go!

2) You don’t have to wait for his phone call.

3) You don’t have to worry about who’s looking at you at a party or who you are talking to. You are basically your own boss. You can talk to any guy you want. You can flirt, you can party. You don’t have to wake up the next morning feeling guilty. In short, freedom!

Riya

1) You have no one to nag you and you don’t have to nag anyone.

2) You don’t have to keep an eye on him or be watched when you are out.

3) You can work in peace. You can have a lot of me-time. You can just be yourself!
