'Sorry boss, I can't come in today, I think I'm in love'. How much time should we devote to finding 'the one'?
There's sick leave, maternity leave and compassionate leave. Is 'I-just-met-someone-who-could-be-the-one' leave next?
Successful relationships require more attention than an unkempt public-hair and honey-moon in Bali, which is why more gay men that I know (and know of) are taking a leave of absence from work and play to stack the odds in love's favour.
But just how much time should you allocate to finding a partner and then working on that relationship to ensure it'll stand the test of time?
According to reports out of Hollywood, in order to shake the pity party after Mr Pitt left, Jennifer Aniston is now taking a year off and plans on becoming a full-time girlfriend, devoting her undivided attention to her latest squeeze and making sure their union blossoms away from the box office.
But where's the fine line between a little hiatus and full-blown hysteria? Call me single, but isn't this just a classic case of 'boy crazy' with a side of Botox?
Dedicating the majority of your time thinking about a significant other is cute at 17, but as the clock strikes 30 or 40, it's just creepy.
'I think about you all the time. What's he doing? What's he thinking? I think about us all the time!' Carrie screamed down the phone to Mr Big during one particularly hard to watch episode of Sex and The City almost a decade ago. And I still love to watch this part...
Fast-forward a few years and gay-life has been (Kuala Lumpur's gay life-style) has had so many waves we are practically wading knee deep in empowerment.
Not everyone is cut out for this all-encompassing approach though.
'I'm not single, I'm busy' and claimed I was torn between my personal desires and professional passions.
How much time should I invest into relationships these days? Will I take some leave from everyday life for love?
Let me think about it and made up my mind..
