So we've all heard the famous saying Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Why in the world are we from different planets when we're supposed to be getting together? I am having a struggle right now with this whole situation. I know that men and women are different for a reason, but come on, wouldn't the whole dating thing be much easier if for a portion of your life, you could each be from the same planet?????? All I'm asking is for men to think like women for a short time peiod so that they can understand our feelings and think about how the things they do or don't do are affecting us. I know this will never happen, but it's nice to dream about.
I found a quote from the above mentioned book, and I quite like it. I guess I'm going to try to make it something I think about before I react or assume. "We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways--the ways we react and behave when we love someone."

I love that book too. I read it a couple years ago - it was actually "mars and venus on a date" or something like that. It was great to read and helped me to understand guys and dating them a little more. I love your posts girl!
Great quote...I would add that we also mistakenly assume that our partner's motivation for doing something is the same as ours. Like, if I don't return a call right away, I'm upset, but if he doesn't, it's probably just that he figures he doesn't have to because I didn't ask him to and we'll see each other later.
No, there's no one right now, but this has happened in the past.
That is so true. HOWEVER - I DO think that as 2 friends (boy and girl) spend more and more time together and fall more and more in love - it SHOULD be easier to know how each other will react to certain situations - and then they can be more sensitive to each others' needs. Holicow - did I really just say that? BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH ... there - that's just as good!!! :) Sheesh - BOYS ... if we didn't love 'em so much ... oh - just use your imagination.
Love ya, Kenj. Please disregard the retarded parts of this comment (so, you know, the majority of it). Okay, I'll stop now.
What can I say? I don't have anyone in the works so I don't really know what it's like. But I do know that it would be sooooo much easier if men did think like girls. that would be nice.
