Growing up I was always told. Be the man who brings her flowers to work. Be the man who always opens the door for her.
Be the man who buys her gifts to show how much I care.
But what you’re never told, is to wait for the man who does things for you in silence.
The things that almost go unnoticed because they weren’t flashy, expensive, or done in front of others for the public eye to see.
What I should have been told was this….
Be the man who gives her affection without sexual expectation.
Be the man to apologize when you’re wrong.
Be the man who invests his time in her.
Be the man who stays true to his character.
Be the man who listens to her.
Be the man who protects her.
Be the man who doesn’t mind hurting other women’s feelings to protect hers.
Be the man who wakes up everyday looking for new ways to love her.
Be the man who goes to church with her on Sunday morning.
Be the man who continuously shows effort.
Be the man who wakes up every morning and says goodmorning to her while gently kissing her forehead.
Be the man who refuses to entertain any woman that isn’t her.
Be the man who stays true to his intentions.
Be the man who respects her wishes.
Be the man to ask her how her day was, and genuinely care about the answer.
Be the man who makes her a priority rather than an option.
Be the man who knows it’s not about giving her the world but making her feel like she’s the only one in it.
Take my advice ….. and wait for the man that will never let you go to sleep at night wondering if you still matter.
