When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind. When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply. When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around. When a GIRL answers ' I'm fine ' after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine. When a GIRL stares at you she is wondering why you are lying. When a GIRL lays on your chest .. she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered. When a GIRL says ' I love you ' .. she means it. When a GIRL says ' I miss you ' .... no one in this world can miss you more than that. Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person .... a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot. who calls you back when you hang up on him. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. a guy who kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Who turns to his friends and says, ' That's her!! ' Thats what a girl wants in life...lol

Thanks BP....yes i am full of it! Spirit, that is!! Adapting is the name of the game at this juncture. Status quo too boring...started out rolling with the punches (cleaners complained of too many grass stains) now...stay on my toes and keep moving..not to fast though, since i prefer to be caught at some point...

Brian. ¿You're welcome. I also¿enjoy reading those passages myself, sometimes we need to substitute the word I for Love, or we need to substitute our name where it says Love, and sometimes we need to remind ourselves these truths on a daily basis.¿ It's so easy to let ourselves becopme discouraged, but when we really know what's going on in our head, well thate negative does not last for long. ¿ Cheri¿

Bri,.....Methinks you have chose WAY too broad a topic !!!!!!!!¿ . And¿Tink, ,,Now what manly man is even going to admit we know what tactile means????......We're even a little scared of the word itself, sharing a suffix as it does with erectile.....which only gets paired with "dysfunction" these days ¿(never with "surplus" or "prowess" or any of the good words that could go with it.)

Conversation and communication is huge with me. I have dated men (briefly) that have a don't ask don't tell mentality to men who want to pour out their every secret and moment to moment thought (also briefly :)) Can there be a middle of the road please? I want to be able to exchange wants and desires, dreams and goals, daily view points. Which probably encompasses the honesty and openness part. If there is good communication then the other should come fairly easy. For me the financial support, while you say comes from what you have read, is probably not high on the list. While my ex made vastly more money than I, it was not a reason to stay with him. The journey getting to that point was more exciting. I would say we had better moments earlier in our marriage when we had nothing. What we did have was goals, planning, hard work and drive as a couple. That kept us moving and together. When he found the top of his mountain he quit searching and growing, and rediscovered vises and addictions. Combined finances certainly allow more flexabilty. I still plan on retiring at 55 but am socking more money away now and traveling and spending less than before so i can. Always have to have a plan! As my children are all grown and devoted to their families my commitment to them hasn't changed, it's just not dictated. I would hope if my partner has children they would be a priority as mine are but don't determine our lifestyle. I always try to view this path as a learning experience... There just seems to be times when it's difficult negotiating the learning curve!
