I don't think boys are as intune to these things as women, because we seem to know how to make people feel special, and thrive on doing it. |
I also think women (not saying you, Zanny!) think their men will just know intuitively what they are needing. - For instance, flowers or a little token of love. But that isn't true. Men don't know that because they aren't thinking in that way. We can't hint at it, we have to come right out and say, "GET ME SOME DARNED FLOWERS ALREADY, SHEESH!"
That taking care of others thing is part of what makes us female. And a huge part of the difference between the sexes.
Sorry if that sounds sexist, but it is true. Men don't know what we don't tell them about us. We, of course, would spend all our time analyzing him and we, in turn, would know exactly how he wants his coffee, eggs and toast in the morning. But chances are, he has never even noticed we don't eat toast. (FYI: it took my husband 12 years -I'm not even kidding!- to notice that I don't eat the mushrooms on pizza. I eat mushrooms, but I don't like it on my pizza. When he finally noticed he was like, "Huh, when did you start doing that?" I said, "I've done it forever!" He argued with me and said he never noticed it, so of course I'd always eaten them. Pfft.)
Moral of the story: If you want something from your partner, mate, husband, significant other - tell him.
Also tell him if you don't like mushrooms. Because maybe he'll start to order pizzas WITHOUT them. I learned my lesson.
