Jumping to the end???
Do we jump into a relationship to meet the status quo? Marry because our friends are getting married? Overestimate our feelings for someone based on the need to be in a relationship? I sometimes have to wonder if people just pretend to be happy to get married, or rather, not pretend, but actually convince themselves that they are truly happy, not knowing what else is out there. In the orders of one of the Bachelorettes “I feel like I’m just setting myself up to get broken hearted, but I haven’t been in love in so long that it’s just fun to feel it.” I’m sorry, it’s fun to feel it?! WHAT??? Seriously, that is not love people, that is purely lust and desperation to be in love. So put your little hormones on ice and figure out if you have a real connection with that special someone that you’re interested in before you start ncmo’ing it up and proposing marriage.

Except---What Men can do to create romance.
"When a man doesn't understand a woman, he tends to focus on the big ways to fulfill her all at once but will then ignore her for weeks. While good communication provides a healthy basis for a loving relationship, romance is the dessert. The way to a woman's heart is through doing lots of little things for her on a consistent basis. Here is my "short list" of twenty "kitchen-tested" things a man can do to create romance.
1. Buy her cards or write her a note.
2. Bring her flowers.
3. Buy her chocolates.
4. Bring home little surprises that say you were thinking of her while you were away.
5. Give her random hugs.
6. Be affectionate at times when you are not wanting sex.
7. Light a candle at dinner or in the bedroom.
8. Put on her favorite music.
9. Notice what she is wearing and pay her a compliment.
10. Take notice of the foods and restaurants she likes.
11. Plan dates ahead of time.
12. Put the remote control n mute at the commercials and talk with her instead of scanning through the channels.
13. Look at her when she talks.
14. Don't interrupt her or finish her sentences.
15. Notice when she is upset and offer her a hug.
16. Help her when she is tired.
17. Help her with her domestic chores.
18. Call her when you are running late.
19. Call her just to say "I love you." (OR TEXT...that works too!)
20. Plan little celebrations and do something different."
