I posted this under DO Right man also...but, a good sign is when he still visits your family even when you are out of town.

Total Elegance, one question were you able to totally forget about what you wrote down and placed in your bible? I mean I tend to write things (have yet to place it in a bible and pray on it) ... but I write things and move on but still in the back of my mind I think about it. I have read many time to let go and let GOD in, but I find it hard not to think about it, not that I don't trust him just can't get it off my mind. This is no longer about a man it is about life in general, anyone got answers to this??

Lady,

I understand where you are coming from. I have been a person who has hard time letting go of things and like to be in control of all situations. I find it difficult to let things go and I think it may be God's way of testing our patience. That is the hardest thing to do. I think that it is God's way of telling us that it is not us who are in control but him. If I may suggest this, try praying for just peace of mind, except that you can't control the situation. Find a scripture, poem or something that you can read which gives you comfort. Keep reading it until you truly understand what is being expressed. Then at that point I believe you will be at greater peace and understanding. Sisterfriend it will be alright!!!! You know you can always e-mail me if you need to talk more http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif.

Ahhhh.....Just listening to you ladies makes me impatient for my soul mate! I've prayed for him and my list - that I've gone over with God - is pretty long. When I am ready and my Loverboy is ready we'll meet and we'll have a beautiful marriage just like some of you all. You all have some wonderful hubbies/boyfriends!

He might be in a state NEAR YOU! ;-)

AHHHHHH, how sweet! There are really good guys in the world, including my man. He

1. Carries my purse.

2. Goes to weddings with me! He has no idea of who the people are!

3. He goes to see movies like "The KId" with me.
4. He ALWAYS surprises me with little gifts and roses at the job.
5.He keeps my car washed.
6. He lets me put my voice on his voicemail.
7. He calls me all the time just to tell me he loves me.
8.He buys my feminine products.
9. He holds my purse.
10. He goes shopping with me and even pays sometimes. To go shopping with me is a torture.
11.He lets me drive his SUV.
12.He washes my clothes.
13 He takes the cosmo tests.
14.He goes with me to get my nails done.
15.He would sit up with me at 4:00 in the morning and type a 17 page report for me that I waited until the last minute to do...and he can't type!

HE is truly 1 N A MILLION! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

To all who are waiting for their Soul Mate,


Just be patient. Because I can truly say that it is someone that you would never have thought. It comes along when you least expect.

Here are my "You know your man loves you when":

1. You wake up in the morning and your breath is on fire, he turns to you and says: "Good morning, baby, where's my kiss"

2. It sounds funny for him to say your name, because for 2 years he has been calling you, "honey, baby, sweetheart, sexy girl.."

3. He gives you those hugs that say: "You are the best thing that has happened to me since sliced bread"

4. Gives you a necklace that his grandmother gave him as a baby. And it just happens to be the key to his heart.

5. Your in the mall and walk by the Vikki-Secret store, and there is a big poster of Tyra Banks. And he says "I am over her, you took her place the day we met"

You know your man loves you when he babysits your son and changes *&#% diapers!!!!

OOHLALA!

yayyyyyyyyyyy!
 

When he leaves, he tells you to get the Sunday paper and look for positions (FOR HIM) in YOUR area!!!! :D

Re: yayyyyyyyyyyy!
 

Thats love.....anytime your willing to relocate!:cool:

1. He leaves a secure job to relocate and be with you in a city he's never thought of living in.
2. Although he typically works on Thursday, he rearranged his schedule to have that evening off so that the two of you could go to church/bible study together.
3. He won't leave the house without his wedding band, or a ring in its place if its been misplaced.
4. He kisses you in public when you know you look a mess (i.e. bandana and sweatpants).
5. He wakes up early on a day off to wipe off your car after it's been snowing so that you can go to work.

You know they love you when they're a vegan and you're a meat eater, and they cook you dinner. Especially when they ranted and raved how NO meat would EVER EVER be cooked in their pots and pans :rolleyes: :D. Tofu isn't the only thing being cooked now a days. I guess everyone will make exceptions for that special someone :)

Keys to the Crib
 

I knew it was love when he gave me the extra set of keys to his apartment. Before he got a home together, he would call me and tell me when he was leaving work so we would arrive about the same time. Well, many times he got delayed, and although other residents were able to let me in the building, I had no choice but to stand outside his apartment until he arrived. After this occurred several times, he gave me the spare keys.

Re: Keys to the Crib
 

:eek: Wow!, now that's some straight up old-school- remember-back-when-ya-mama-and-daddy-was-still-together love.

I ain't hatin, though; that's good stuff.

...(she got her own key, yall!!) :D

Well, I knew that the guy that I was dating *really liked* me when he started calling and asking how my little dog was doing during the conversation. LOL

Update: I was re-confirmed that he really liked me when he called to apologize for something that he could have just glossed over. :)

2 signs
 

1. For 2 nights in a row I was craving chocolate. It was happening at about 10:00pm. For both those nights my husband kept telling me that he wasn't going to let me leave out the house that late. I was furious:mad: :mad: ! The next day when I came home from work there was a basket filled with yoohoo's, kitkat, butterfingers, snickers and trix...and a card!!!

2. Whenever we go out to eat and he wants the last bite of anything and I want it, he still let me have it.

oneinamillion: that is cute.

My man helped me develop a budget for this month. Part of my expense cutting is not driving to work and parking next door to my building. I have to ride the train, especially since the job pasy for part of my commuting expense. To help me get through the long train trips (~45 mins), be bought me "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" to read while I am in transit. :)

And today, he got me a dozen white roses for no reason. :)

awwww
 

I just had to write in here because i was over here reading this and i was crying just thinking about my boo and how much sh*t we have been through and the love we share.

My baby came down to me from God when I least expected him not to. I had just broken up from my ex of 5 years cause i caught in the bed with another women and i was torn up about. My head, my health,Ii was just a mess. One day i saw this dude i had been knowing since forever and we just started kicking it as friends. He was there for me during my crying seasons, depressed moods and willing to listen to anything i had to say about my ex. I prayed to God to send me somebody who was go love me like i should be loved. And low and behold i saw my friend in a different lite!! It was like a mircale!! All this time he was right under my nose.
True he wasn't the pretty boy type that i was used to, and in high school he was ok looking, but now, he is the best looking man in the world to me. :D I have a key to his house, his parents house, and his truck. I can list so much stuff that i love about him but it would take up the wholeeeeeee page.:p

We go through our ups and downs but I love him and I know that he is the one for me!:D

Re: yayyyyyyyyyyy!
 

I like that one Soror AKA2D'91!!! :)
SC

You hop in the shower at his place, and there's shampoo and conditioner for dry/color treated hair [he's seen your roots! :p ].

He's bald, and doesn't use shampoo and conditioner, so he went out of his way to buy stuff that he thinks will work for your hair type.


Also, if he brings a fresh towel while you're in the shower, and refrains from using the sink/kitchen, so you can hog the hot water.

this thread is so sweet. *sniff, sniff* :)
any more stories?

He calls before your big exam just to wish you luck and tell you that he KNOWS you will ace it. :D

When you're discussing whether to have a ceremony or elope, he says he doesn't need a ceremony; you are the ceremony.

He'll take a day off work when you are sick and actually take care of you. :-D

He'll make you a drink when you come home from a bad day at work.

You didn't question his sexuality right then and there?

-Rudey

LMAO you hush Rudey!!!

Oh the things I could say. . . but I won't.:p

^^You hush too!! lol

Aww these are sweet...


1. When you are in the hospital and he comes down after his first day on a new job and stays from 6-10 because you are having a baaad reaction to morphine. He walks you back and forth to the bathroom and holds the plastic cup while you upchuck from your meds every 20 minutes. (we had just started dating exclusively for a month back then). I knew he was a keeper then (5 yrs before we got married)

2. He let me not only answer his phone, I got to leave the outgoing message on the machine years before we got married


3. He won't go out w/out his ring and he is not the jewelry type at all.

4. We usually kiss each other goodbye in the am, hello in the pm and before we go to bed. If I forget to kiss him he finds me and tells me I owe him something...:D

Okay, should I slit my wrists now or what? No seriously, these are great stories and I wish all of the happy couples the best. I can't wait until I have something to share.

***Sadly exiting the room....

Sitting back and enjoying the stories.....still waiting for my chance at romance

<silently wipes tear and exits>

Allright - this is just for a friendly love, not a romantical love.......They will listen to you rant and rave over how much your parents drive you crazy, and tell you stuff to distract you when you're really worried about the aforementioned parent

:eek: :eek: ...yeah, you betta keep him.

end hijack. :D

He asks how your day was and actually LISTENS to the answer.

He calls/texts just to say "I Miss You".

*sigh*

He still goes to the movies with you knowing that you are going to fall asleep

All of your mama's numbers are in his cell phone

:) These are all so sweet!

He's willing to move to where you are and take ANY job just so he could be with you and his child. :D

Aww! I have a man moving from the South to the North for me. He also calls when he promises (I've never experienced that before) and has never spoken a harsh word to me. We 'fuss' but never raise our voices. It's such a calming relationship for me. It's my haven!
