Love, love is strange, a lot of people take it for a game

Once you get it you never wanna quit, after you've had it, you're in a awful fix

Love is Strange (Dirty Dancing)

FOR some men, it seems as if reason goes out the window the minute they think they are in love. Below are some sure signs that the man is too wrapped up in love that he "can't see for looking".

1. Put her through college, when he can't even read himself

Love has him so consumed that he can't even spare a thought to his own improvement, he will instead focus on the needs of the woman he loves. It doesn't matter the risk he might be taking, that after all that, she could walk away from the relationship.

2. Cut off friends and family

The term 'love is blind' would be apt in this case as he will literally turn his back on his friends and family if they dare to criticise or point out some unpleasant truths to him about the woman he loves.

3. Marry in haste

Marry in haste; repent at leisure... that's the situation a lot of men find themselves in because they were too hasty in trying to make it down the aisle. The rush of hormones temporarily blinded them to the real deal, and by the time sanity returns, it's just too late.

4. Uproot from stability just to suit her

The carefully mapped out plans for his life is thrown out the window for the chance to be with that special someone. She can convince him to put his plans on the backburner while she forges ahead with hers.

5. Getting into debt because he just can't say no

The word 'no' doesn't seem to have any place in his vocabulary when it comes on to her needs. He will sink himself into debt just to ensure that all her wants are met. Never mind that he can't afford to satisfy her every whim.

6. Watching Lifetime and soaps

It is almost the norm to find women hooked on soap operas and Lifetime channels, but when you find a man really getting into them too, chances are he is just trying to impress the woman in his life about his 'sensitive side'.

7. Jeopardise his marriage or leave his decent wife for a 'skettel'

He has a wife that many men would envy him for, she is devoted, loving and is there for him in every way... yet somehow the attraction for the loud-mouthed, non-ambitious woman proves too much for him to resist.

8. Go to church

When all else fails in getting the committed Christian women, some men will pretend they have now 'seen the light' by going into church. There is only one purpose in mind for this move - to win over the woman they are wooing.

9. Pretend like crazy

When a man wants to impress a woman, he will do all kinds of silly things to achieve this goal. He will drive his friend's car and pretend it's his and take her to his cousin's house and brag how he managed to acquire it so early in life.
