My closest female friends (I really have no male ones ) often complain that they can't understand their guys or they think those men don't love and court them enough and properly...
I'm sure this is not like this. To be a woman is a special art!!!
I don't really know why they're expecting some steps and attention from men like a lambs. That's too boring for me! I do prefer to be more active and declare that woman must encourage her man, court him the same way, surprise him, adore him, say compliments to him - and consider - not in response but just without a reason, why not girlies? Girls, don't be afraid to take initiative in close relations - men like it, but don't confuse it to the things that I call men's personal affairs like friends, football, hobbies and some other.
