I LOVE YOU

I still dream of hearing these three words from a special someone. Some how these three words tend to elude me. Now that I am in my 30s, it is still eluding me! Women yearn to hear it from the special men in their lives. See this is the point, even if they had someone special in their heart, they aren't hearing it or getting enough of it from their mate. But if the women said it, they probably won't see their men again. It backfires. Being an expressive person, do you know how difficult it is for me to hold back these three words when I mean it and wanted to express it to that special person in my life?

I was surfing the net and I came across a website on dating advice for men. An entire article was dedicated to advising men not to say these three words when they are dating! The reason given was that the lady would think less of the guy because he was too quick to say " I love you". Males and females have probably been engaged in the dating game since ancient times. Now there is a dating 101, is it time for another rules review? Wouldn't it have been easier if both parties were forthright when the feelings are mutual ? Wouldn't it be practical if they were frank where they were not meant for each other, so that they can move on?

Sometimes guys just don't want you to fall for them. In this case, what should you do? Run or live in denial and think that platonic friendships can actually exist? I think the world is tough enough for men not to play hard to get. Same goes for the women. Why introduce more stress (as if the world is not already clouded with it)?

My ideal relationship is one that is expressive and dedicated, and it is simple. One that is frank and open just like the love of a child. It means no harm but just wants to share the beauty of it. But my dreams seem to conflict the guys dating rules 101! The life of a single just got harder as more rules are being introduced daily. Why should we be so cautious and stingy in the application of these three words? Do you have to pay a hefty exercise price? LOL . (Ok, I think the stock option policies are getting to me!) Everyone gets bored hanging out in the cold. Remember, you only have a lifetime to say these three words to people you truly love. Life is short, so be generous with it and make your day a loving day by telling them " I love you."
