With all the smart, sexy and feisty women in the house chatting them up can be quite a challenge. Especially, it seems, if you are Pumba. While the courting process can be intimidating, our guy Pumba here seems much too weary of rejection.

He and Tiffini were spending some quality time together of late, cuddling on the couch and sharing their last cigarette, flirting and soaking each other’s company up. They were getting closer by the day.

So why wasn’t Pumba making his move? How many signs did a guy need? The girl was all rosey-cheeks and giggles around him for Pete’s sake!

While she might have had the hot’s for goner Ex, Tiffini had moved quickly on to Pumba and boy was she feeling him. He had clearly developed a crush on her and it was growing. He gravitated towards her and lagged behind her every chance he got.

He’d given her a timid peck on the cheek, in the late hours of last night, and this morning he couldn’t tear himself away from her while she cooked the housemates a breakfast for champs in the kitchen. He looked on like a love-struck teen as she gracefully did her thing over a pan of eggs. They sang along to a couple of ditties, and flowed seamlessly in and out of conversation with comfortable and affectionate silences in between.

He did mention that the kind of guy he was, he found it near impossible to approach a girl and worse off to then woo her.

Was Tiffini the girl to break his walls?
