[THIRD POST. I must really be on a roll.]

So. I've established with a Brother that, wanting to be romanced is not frivolous.

And. I've also established with another friend that, when they don't have even voice contact for a day, it feels weird.

I'll just add for him that the day is incomplete.

Like something crucial is missing.

And. If you're dismissing it as HoneyMoon-Behaviour, you're wrong. They've been together for five years.

.

I've also established there are guys on the other extreme.

.

Actually why am I so 'surprised'? Haven't I known all along, even read, scoffed, laughed at, bought into, the idea of the Detached Male? That the regular Joe is precisely that--commitment-phobic, needs his space, please don't be too clingy, loves his Warcraft, don't touch his car, what's with shopping, A-B-C-then-D = logical sense, . . . etc.

Oh and please don't even expect just-because gifts/surprises.

Flowers???

Ok that's not really the complete picture. It's a general picture. He did knit a scarf for me once, which touched me to my fingertips and toes. But I destroyed it when I tried to clean it so maybe that's why.

we should not try to change people because that is really low so i guess i will have to decide if i can accept this ability to forget about me for days and somehow connect that to the fact that it does not mean he cares or loves me any less probably that is just how he is and so i guess at the end of the day someone has got to give some

Compromise is awful sometimes. Maybe that's why he doesn't agree to it at all.


And then there are girls who don't care for stuff like these. Yeah, "stuff".

Ok I'm going to sleep.
