<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> Sorry, one last off topic post, so sorry again.
I know for an absolute fact that if I would have simply acted myself, I would have never hit it off with my beloved. She would have ignored me. She even told me so later in our marriage. Girls do the same thing by eating only salads on dates and then saying, "Oh, I'm to full. I couldn't eat another thing." What I said was not a game to string a lady along. My words were of pure sincerity. I was only talking about getting past that first hurdle. Then the two can grow closer in getting to know one another.
I admit I am not a touchy, feely, cuddly, kind of guy. But I always remembered my beloved's birthday. I always remembered our marriage anniversaries. I always remembered the anniversary of the day we met. I even still have the piece of paper she wrote her phone number on when we first met.
When she had a hard day I rubbed her feet. When she was late home I had dinner ready for her. Every single day before I left for work I wrote her a special I Love You note. Everyday and often I told her I Love You as I looked into her eyes.
Granted all of this is not first date stuff, but I would have never known that love if I acted like my usual self. But lucky for me I found love that day. I'll never be the same.
