Nyall Sharp and Mike ‘SWAJ’ Yorke are here to give advice for all the un-requited lovers this Valentine’s weekend
To those reading this on the 15th February, you will be very tired. You have either a) spent all night eating ice cream or b) spent all night up with your Casanova/ squeeze-piece. This edition is the Lonely Hearts edition. If you are like me (SWAJ), you will have no room in your heart for anything apart from profuse love for your spouse. If you are like Nyall, you will have a copious amount of room in your heart, currently being used only to pump blood around. If you are in the latter category, this may be your guide for next year.
Dear Nyall and SWAJ, I’m in love with a girl who has a long-term boyfriend. I think she needs a new man and I want to be her knight in shining armour, what should I do?
SWAJ: Unfortunately, this sounds like my favourite fairy tale, Rapunzel. I often empathised with the protagonist in the story, and felt his pain for his lust to be with Rapunzel. Unfortunately, it isn’t always meant to be at first. However, hopefully you will have the brave heart that my esteemed knight possessed and persevere in your constant battle with love. I have certainly persevered, and the feeling is euphoric. It was worth the long wait - I saw many moons, many seasons and many battles. But at the end of it, I saw her shining smile. Nyall: Back yourself.
