Here's a little hint

This is written to guide these poor shmucks we call men into the real execution of romance. Some of you think romance belongs in the physical world, but with women it's different. You have to satisfy her needs emotionally before you are able to breach the walls of any physicality. Personally speaking, I am not a hands-on person. I can be further into the relationship but to be touchy-feely at the beginning, I think it's too much and usually I run. Touchy-feely is supposed to build gradually. You cannot grope a woman and think she will fall for you. You can't be too annoying or she will eventually say "Enough". BUT, as a woman that enough doesn't mean enough for all time. It means while we are trying to get to know each other, I want to know you for you. When we fall in love, by all means, show the whole world I'm yours and I will be grateful.

Now, guys, what to do when a woman cries? To ignore it is the ultimate WRONG thing to do. She doesn't need you to fix the problem. She doesn't even need you to understand why she is crying (we all have issues for God's sakes). What she does need you to do is comfort her. Depending on your woman, you might have more of a win with holding her hand than hugging her. You have to know your woman and what she likes, but either way, physical contact when she feels upset is very important. She then knows you're there and she knows that she'll make it through. Don't be surprised if she pushes you away. Don't get your feelings hurt by that. She's feeling vulnerable, and if she is anything like me, she doesn't like that feeling. She doesn't like feeling like someone is pitying her, BUT the fact that you tried anything at all, goes a long way.

"You are beautiful."
"I am extremely happy to be with you."
"I cherish our moments together."
"You amaze me."
"You look amazing today."
"I am so glad you are mine."
"You make me happy."
"You complete me."
"You inspire me."
"I feel like the luckiest man alive for being with you."

These comments can make my day, my week, even my month! But don't say it unless you mean it. Don't be sweet because someone told you to be. Don't be romantic because you feel like you have to. Do it from your heart. Do it 120%, because the woman you're with deserves it. Do it because this woman makes you so happy and words cannot describe how you feel about her.

It is not enough to just love someone. That crap is for little girls who don't know any better. Love has to come with respect, trust, honesty, compassion, care, unselfishness, communication, and many other things. Saying I love you will make that person warm and fuzzy for a day. How about tomorrow? You can say it again, but eventually words will become unfit for description of your love for them. And then what? Here's a little hint. If you can't say it, how else do you communicate what you're wanting to say? Hmm..that's a tough one.  Maybe some flowers? Too cliche? How about a romantic dinner? That cliche too? How about a small gift; doesn't have to be expensive.

If you're one of these guys who thinks cute stuff is too cliche or too "p***y like for you to do, get off my blog now and go kill yourself.
Being a gentleman doesn't make you a p***y, it gets you p***y. Remember that.
So back on track. Go do something nice for the person you love. Don't get comfortable in the relationship. JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT THE WOMAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED TO STOP CHASING HER!!! And if you have a real woman on your hands, she will do the same.

This is a neverending topic, so I will stop right here.

Maybe I'm too old to believe in fairy tales. Maybe. But, I know one thing. A love story may begin as a fairy tale, but will end as a true story. The reason I say this: no relationship is perfect. They will fight. They will disagree. They will argue til they feel like giving up. But they will love each other regardless and will fight every day to keep one another.There is no "I fell in love with you at first sight" or "I believe we're meant to be together". The world has changed. Relationships have changed. However, one thing remains true. As long as you're truly trying, there is no end in sight.
