It wasn't until I married Randy that I fully appreciated how special/cherished it makes me feel. It started while we were dating and I kinda expected it to stop once the 'new' wore off, but it hasn't! <br /><br />I think there is something to be said about 'old fashioned' stuff and a couple being their own island. I think too much separateness and 'independence' has something to do with so many relationships drifting apart. I know you were talking about a casual relationship, but what if it turned into more? It's pretty impossible to know what 'could' happen. I say start something the way you want it to continue, but be yourself, that way it won't feel like an obligation, it'll be something you WANT to do :)Leah Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858711309943352195.post-31246602713757970632013-03-15T17:53:58.008-07:002013-03-15T17:53:58.008-07:00My guy and I love doing old fashioned things for e...My guy and I love doing old fashioned things for each other like opening the car door and walking each other to the door. I had surgery yesterday morning. When I was wheeled into the operating room my guy bent over and kissed me just before stepping into the surgery waiting room. It was a wonderful send off knowing that my love would be there when I awoke.Deanhttp://www.restlessnoun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858711309943352195.post-87452627281923085412013-03-14T16:40:56.641-07:002013-03-14T16:40:56.641-07:00Haha, thanks for reading!

But like I said, I feel differently now ;) I'll watch the video when I get home!Ditto Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589264707442251699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858711309943352195.post-76414230422072456602013-03-14T16:17:31.816-07:002013-03-14T16:17:31.816-07:00I do not know you, but I saw a link to your blog o...I do not know you, but I saw a link to your blog on a friend's facebook page. When I began reading this post it was a little upsetting that you- and 95% of other human beings- have no concept of what chivalry is, but I kept reading. I was pleased to discover that ThisBoy changed your perspective on that. As a female, it is a great feeling to know that someone cares for you enough to want to constantly serve you, even if it is simply holding open a door. I am never above asking someone on a date; I am not one to sit around waiting for a guy to ask me to dance, because I know that most guys feel that it shouldn't be their responsibility. The concept of "Ladies and Gentleman" hardly exists anymore.But it is great, as you have witnessed firsthand, to be treated a bit above average by someone. It shows that they truly care.
