One of my last girlfriend's thoughts: "If he doesn't send me copious amounts of cards, mail, IMs, emails, flowers, and compliments everyday, that means he doesn't like me."
Is this a result of years of conditioning from romance novels/movies, or is it rooted in self-esteem issues? Someone please tell me.
I wanted to throw up when she would talk about real-life romantic scenarios that she heard/read about and silently expected from me without outright saying it. If you are waiting for these outrageous gestures in order for you to fall in love, you might find your life disappointing. I'm not punished you, that's just how I roll.
