You would think....but more than a few women I know continually fall for a guy for all the wrong reasons then can't understand why he ended up being Mr Wrong....I know I know, women like the bad boys but I think they also like to bitch about them too....
I live by the adage: actions speak louder than words. If they aren't acting like they love you, then they don't. I'm not talking about buying gifts or anything, I'm talking about those little things that add up to the one big thing. Well, little things to you I mean.
Here's something that I did once:
I was dating this YL and he father passed away. Unfortunately I was having health issues at the time and I was hospitalized when the funeral was to occur. So she had to go alone. She was upset about it but totally understood why I couldn't go.
Her parents lived in Quebec City so she flew up a couple of days before the funeral.
I was in the hospital the morning before and was feeling a little better and asked if I could leave. Nope. I was sitting there stewing and thought, they can't force me to stay, so I said I wanted to leave and they made me sign a release stating that I was doing it against their wishes. I drove up to QC (about 8 hrs), arrived around 9 that night, and pulled into the drive. Her mother was taking out the garbage at the time and didn't recognize the car....when she did she started bawling. She said the GF was inside, upset about what happened, upset that I couldn't make it, upset that I was sick and she told me to wait outside for a second.
She went in and I heard her say that they had a visitor and flicked the lights to have me come in, the GF burst into tears. I'm glad I was able to do it and everyone, and I mean everyone in the family heard about it and all came up to me and hugged me.....
It wasn't really anything to me, it was something that I knew I should do but boy, was it something for her (which is why I did it).
I checked myself back into the hospital when I got returned to T.O.
