I read profiles of how men say that they're hopeless romantics, a gentleman, honest, loyal, not afraid of pda, that they know how to treat a woman. It's not that I don't believe it's true, but if these things describe who you are as a man, qualities of which women would almost die for, it makes me wonder was there something wrong with the women that let you get away or are all these acclamations just shall we say, a bit over-emphasized?
I know that in the beginning it's like you're on top of the world. Those little post-it notes in the lunch box, a card left on the kitchen table in the morning. The little love pat while passing in the hall, the interlocking of your hands just because. The soft caress on the side of the cheek while at a resturaunt, the arrows on the floor that lead to the tub laden with rose petals. The phone call in the middle of the day just to say hello, the candlelight dinner for two on the floor in the livingroom. You did all these things in the beginning. Very impressive but let me ask you this. When the honeymoon stage is over, when it comes to the point of knowing that this is who you want to commit your life to, years later will you still do these "hopeless romantic" things? Or will complacency set in and "I've gotcha now why should I" become your way of showing appreciation? The bottom line is this, in order to keep me, will you do what you did to get me? When you see that older couple that's been together for YEARS and they're still holding hands do you hope that you'll have that one day? If you can without any doubts honestly say yes, then we want the same thing. For those that have it cherish it. For those of us looking for it, may we have the chance.
