He Said:
Despite being a man, I'm an old fashioned romantic... however recently I learned a lesson that might have changed me. While I always thought, you can never tell a woman she's beautiful enough, I have learned there is a limit.
When you fall in love, you often feel so overwhelmed with emotion that you feel a constant need to tell them how much. Your conscience tells you to hold back, because you want to play it cool so instead you tell them how amazing and beautiful they are. At first this is great, who doesn't like to hear they're appreciated. She thinks you're romantic, her friends think you're romantic and you're pretty much doing everything right... but guess what in no time at all, it gets boring for her... My advice - hold back on saying anything at all, men who actually hold back on complementing the other partner last in relationships longer than those that do and you know what, when you do make that complement like the note above, trust me, means so much more.
She Said:
We all know the rules, don't kiss on the first date, let him call you, never be the first to say I love you. I'm definitely a rules girl. I stuck to the basic laws of dating and it worked. I never got hurt. But then I fell in love. And although the strict limits I set saved me from heartache, I will always regret not throwing caution to the wind. The thing is, when you hold back to get him, how do you know he is really falling for you and not the game you are playing? Better to cut your losses than waste time pretending to be someone you're not. And if you're not willing to take the risk, maybe he's just not worth it. In the interest of freedom and self-expression, tell someone they are beautiful today. Go on... rules are made to be broken.
