Softly, softly, catchee monkey!

Pseudoscience of love - Softly, softly,catchee monkeyThere is a school of thought out there that to snare the target of your affection, you should use the softly, softly approach. This is primarily used by nice guys as a means of justifying their constant procrastination and is a ramification of their lack of cojones!

While it may be best for a guy not to prematurely inosculate with a woman (after all, "wise men say only fools rush in"!), if you dally too much you run the risk of entering the "friend zone". It is probably easier to escape from beyond the event horizon of a black hole than from this forlorn place! Another possible problem is that while you're beating around the bush (metaphorically), some other hero could usurp you to, err, the real McCoy!!

In trying to come up with the play on words, the only word ending in 'ulate" I could find that even remotely worked was "inosculate"! This can mean to come into close contact with or to kiss someone.

The line "wise men say only fools rush in" comes from the famous song, "Only Fools Rush In", sung by Elvis and UB40,amongst others.
