As they say, there are plenty of fish in the sea. The question is, did you get the right catch? This Valentine’s Day, we run through a few of the possible types that might have bitten your bait – in a manner of speaking, of course.
Sea Star
Pointing five ways all at once, he is not exactly good with directions. And like most men (so this is not a unique trait), he simply refuses to ask.
Sea Jelly
He does not have a nasty bone in his body, and you can often see through him (so who says all men are hard to read?). Oh, and the way he moves! So gentle. So hypnotic. You may well be tempted to reach out and touch those dangly bits… Big mistake, girlfriend.
Mudskipper
Land or water – he cannot decide. He wants the best of both worlds. Two words: commitment issues.
Dolphin
This one enjoys hanging out with his pod – or posse – a little too much, poking their noses into every nook and cranny, popping their heads out of the water to whistle at birds. On good days, his behaviour strikes you as playful. On not so good days, you wish him a little less flippant.
Octopus
He has two arms but it can sometimes feel like eight (especially when you’re alone together). Apparently he has a knack for betting on soccer matches.
Shark
In possession of sleek good looks and one hell of a sporting grin, he is always on the move and on the make, as ready to give chase as to sink his teeth into any opportunity that swims by. It is easy to get caught up in the feeding frenzy.
Hermit Crab
Not only does he insist on living inside a shell, he gets snappy at anyone who tries to come close. And do not expect him to share anything with you either – he is a little shellfish.
Nautilus
Fossil records suggest the nautilus has not evolved much during the last 500 million years. So what makes you think dating him a few months is enough to change him?

It’s all tongue in cheek of course. Here’s wishing you and your partner, a Happy Valentine’s Day!
