… for example, is so in love with two dates (3)
I believe the answer is:
odd
'for example is so' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'love with two dates' is the wordplay.
'two dates' means two replacements for 'date'.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'date' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation eg in DOB, date of birth).
'date' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation eg in DOB, date of birth).
'o'+'d'+'d'='ODD'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odd that I've seen before include "Peculiar or unpaired" , "Matchless" , "Strange, bizarre" , "like half the numbers?" , "Not even? That's peculiar" .)
