I am no expert on women. In fact, I think that I can’t understand them at times, and I believe that I’m not the only man who thinks this way. It’s as if the brains of men and women are wired so differently that when they receive information, from men specifically, they compute it entirely against the intended meaning. It’s mind blowing, really. Take for example this one time I tried to say sweet things to my girl. She reacted in a way so unexpected to me that made me think, “wait, are we talking about the same thing?” Apparently, I was not usually generous with compliments that when I was, for no other reason that because I was feeling happy at that time, she thought that something was up. Sometimes, I say good things about how I feel (at least I thought I said that in a way that it meant something good), but then she apologises for it. I thought, “What? No! I meant that in a good way!” Those times make me question my feelings sometimes, and you know that guys aren’t that in touch with their feelings, right? Those times make me think that maybe I shouldn’t even be speaking at all! Geez! And then when I’m done trying to get over the little “fiasco”, she brings the subject up again because she was just done with ‘overanalysing’ the conversation. I am often tempted to dismiss verbal communications entirely. Especially when my chat messages or in conversations seems to be perceived differently than the way I had intended. However, communications is a vital part of a relationship. And when we communicate well, good things can actually happen. Through good communications, we can actually make our girls feel great about us, about herself, and about our relationship. We just need to learn how to do it right so that the intended meaning don’t get lost in her ‘overanalysing’ habits. Don’t be discouraged by one time, two times, even three times of misunderstandings. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from the things that worked too. Never stop learning, because in learning to talk to each other properly, good things will come to your relationship. Just like everybody is unique, every woman is too. The way you communicate must be tailored specifically to her. It’s a very personal thing so there is really no one way to do it. You just have to find what works for the both of you. You don’t have to be an expert on women. You just have to be an expert on one woman, yours. So there’s my two cents on relationship this morning. Of course, this topic is totally unrelated to the video I’m about to share with you. This one of Phillip and Fiona is special to me. I love Fiona’s carefree spirit and how Philip tries his best to accommodate it. I love how they talk to each other, with emotions bursting expressed in their own ways. It’s sweet and so heartwarming to witness. I hope you will enjoy this video as much as I had making it. Love, Garry
