My horoscope for the week:

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, but that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anyone, deserve your love and affection. -- Buddha

Which reminds me of a letter from a reader a couple of weeks ago, in response to this Agony Aunt column I do:

I am 40 yrs old and still single. Mr L and me have been working together in the same company for 20 yrs. I have known him from single to married and father of 2 now but my interest for him is growing stronger each day.

Specially so when I have slimmed down since 3 years ago. I have more confidence with my appearance and look now. I have tried getting close to him with the help of my company's secretary (as I am shy) by organising more official outing like lunches (sometime I'll cook for him cos I want him to enjoy my food) and I'll always sit next to him when he drived.

During our D&D, my "invisible hand" had helped me to get a ride from him. I wore a low v-neck top which can show my cleavage but he has no expression, only hold my shoulder when taking photo (with the help of my "invisible hand" urging him to hold me). Immediately after the dinner, he fetched me home and rush back to his wife.

With all my efforts in slimming down and looking prettier has not help him to notice me. He only look at me when my "invisble hand" urge him to. I am saddened and depressed by his "unappreciative" behaviour.

Please do not print my email address or my name for fear my colleagues may read it.
