Of Romance

it's the day of my cousin's wedding dinner, and i've just stumbled upon this great facebook page. it's entitled " There Are Just Some Things Every Guy Should Do For Every Woman" and contains a list of thirty-eight things that women appreciate in a guy. to all the men reading this blog, read it!

for the benefit of those not on facebook yet, here are a some of the things listed:

1. Open doors, whether it be to a building or a car, that's just a given.

6. Find out what her favorite flower is & buy them for her randomly. Good rule of thumb: a single rose says more than dozens of anything else.

31. Always do everything in your power to keep her as happy as you can. And cheer her up in any way possible.

and the most important one:

34. Sometimes you have to take the initiative. Don't always wait for her to come to you, because if that's how it always is you're going to lose her.

there's also one for the women, so as a pre-emptive strike against any feminist accusations, let me list a couple of them here too. heh.

1 As much as you want to talk about past relationships, keep it to a minimum, unless he asks. You don't want him to feel like he's in competition with anyone.

2 Every guy has a 'geeky' side of him. Whether it be video games, DVD, WoW, anime, football among other sports, or whatever. Don't make fun of him if you don't like it, either tolerate it, or learn to like it. DO NOT try to change him. If he's constantly ignoring you for that hobby of his, tell him.

8 Any time your guy gives you a compliment, don't just roll your eyes. He means it, and you should smile and say thank you.

9 Guys are pressured to take the relationship to a "deeper level". Stupid society. Anyway, if you dont want that in a relationship, tell him before things get too complicated! You can compromise too. If you are uncomfortable with something, STOP.

couldn't have put it better myself.
