Signs your man/woman loves you,,,

[LadyAKA]

Along the same lines of he likes you, maybe not loves you but at least likes you a whole lot

1) He lets you hold his pager or cell phone, for whatever reason you may need it on any given day at any time!!

2) You have been introduced to his mom and the rest of his fam and you can hang with them when he is not around.

And Sexy Mocha I like the point about taking the quizzes without complaining, but also does not mind reading those articles you pass him from all type of other women magazines

Oh and he has got to love you if he can watch Ophrah (sp.) and the stories ('All My Children') with you..... Love is a great thing !!

Good Evening Ladies-

I just could NOT pass this one up. I have a wonderful, handsome, supportive black man. This is a long one.

You know your man loves you when:

1. You wake up in the morning with drool on your pillow and your headscarf in the covers, looking like Lion King and he still thinks you are beautiful.

2. Your newborn is howling in the middle of the night and he tells you to go back to sleep even though he has to go to work in 2 hours.

3. You have had 7 hours of HARD LABOR and he thinks that you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

4. He remembers the anniversary of your first meeting/dinner and cooks that first meal to rekindle the feeling.

5. He suggests (and is planning) that we renew our vows in Jamaica so that I can have the wedding that I had always wanted. (we eloped)

6. He puts up with me logging on to the computer and chatting.

7. He will stop home and set the vcr because I forgot to tape Young and the Restless. (yes I am addicted)

8. (Before we were married) He takes you to his college homecoming and tells EVERYONE that this is the woman of his dreams! sigh...

9. He loves me unconditionally and knows that GOD comes first!

I love my man and he truly completes me. All you single folks, don't worry. God has a plan. I love you Big Dex.....

Your wife,
ryanzmom

Sorors and SF's,
All that I can say is that I want to be in love too!!!! You ladies have me over here crying because of all of the beautiful, caring gestures that the men in your lives have made. I am tired of being single and I want to experience a genuine love too. I know they say that there is someone for everyone out there, but I'm starting to think that my someone is either dead or gay (lol...I'm not so desparate that I can't laugh about it). I do have someone in mind and I'm hoping that something good will come from it. You guys wish me luck! Hopefully one day I'll be able to come back and share a romantic story with you all.

serenity i feel ya!! my fiance has no problem purchasing the feminine products if need be. dg, he also has no problem carrying my purse..lol. he says, "i lived with 3 women, 'nuff said!!" .

another thing i have realized is that if a man can get on his knees and pray with you in good and bad times, he is a keeper. that is from personal experience.

one last thing, yesterday was my b-day and i was very depressed...over something else...i am happy about my age . i told him i didn't want anything. he still came home bearing gifts, one of which was sorority sisters because he knew that the author was a lady of AKA. this is significant in that for a long time he was not supportive of my undergrad quest particulary after being around when my sister was on line for zeta and seeing how difficult she had it. so this book is just extra special for me!!!

anyhoo, i just thought i would share that with my sisterfriends!!! peace

[niceone]

ok.ok. This is a like,maybye not love dating one.

1. When you are states apart for the summer and he calls you everytime just to see how you are doing.

2. When he wakes up at eight o' clock in the morning to WALK to an office and take care of some business for you so you won't have to

3. WHen he tells you that his mother will like a certain quality in you(*blush*)

4. When he takes time out and helps you study for your finals

5. When he is not a church go-er but is willing to go to church with you(I am working on it ladies!!!!)

6. When you just have that gut-feeling that he is the one and you feel empty without him (*sigh* I hope so)

[Sexy Mocha]

Ok,... now what started out as a bit of light humor has turned into something really depressing for me! What's up with all of these touching love stories in this forum?? I tell you it's disgusting! That's right ladies, I'm officially hating on yall! WHEN IS MY MR. RIGHT GOING TO SHOW UP?!? Huh?? I ask you, WHEN?? Where is my prince charming? What are you guys doing that I obviously AM NOT?!? All I meet are *ssholes! Well, not all the time but, dang...just about all the time! I mean, is it me or what?? Jeesh! Ok, so now that I've vented...I have a question for all of you lucky ladies that have posted these tear jerking stories...How/when did you know your prince charming was the ONE? That's right, it has come to this. I have resorted to asking for relationship advice from people I don't know in a public forum. Can I sink any lower??

[AKA2D '91]

RyanzMom, your #s 1 and 9 hit home with me....
Niceone: I can attest to your #s 1 and 6

Signs your man loves you...

He leaves me messages throughout the day telling me he loves me, misses me... etc etc etc,. So when I am at work and during the day, when I check my messages, he has left something on the voice mail, which cheers me up! He has me grinning from ear to ear! Especially, when he ends the message(s) with "Bye, Mrs. (add his last name)! The thing is, we are not married!

Also, he starts singing a song and puts our names in it, for no reason.

He goes to events with me even though he really is not interested... and vice versa..;

He got on me when I didn't go to church...I was backsliding ya'll.

To all those sorors and sisterfriends still waiting for that special person...it's coming! Don't give up! I have been there where you all are. I was so messed up from previous relationships, that I almost let this one slip out of my hands!

When it is your "season", then it will happen. Just make sure you are "together", first. Also, watch your "friends". I almost let him go again. I try to associate myself with people who are in good, whole relationships. Cause, there are haters out there...haters of every caliber, and they will try ANYTHING to make sure that you are miserable like them.

Good luck, he is on his way! Trust me!

[Sexy Mocha]

Thanks for the inspiring words AKA2D'91! There's hope after all!

[Serenity]

Same here. Thank the Lord I decided to let go and move on. Sometimes the hardest part is allowing yourself to love another person without the fear of being hurt. But when it happens and they love you back, well....it's a beautiful thing!

Serenity,
Truer words have never been spoken!!!! It's so hard, but so necessary to forgive, in order to love again.

[LadyAKA]

Sexy Mocha I feel ya girl, I got a man and he is good to me but he is no prince charming ...as soon as I saw the love stories (and ladies you know I am happy for you) I just continued to read and not post, I am sure I will get there one day, but for now I am still learning and like a baby, I have fell a couple of times but the lord picks me up and I know that soon he will let My Man be 'THE ONE' or let MR. RIGHT walk in!

ryanzmom,
I hear you on number 1, girlfriend!!

My husband's refrain is (when discussing some one like Jada or Halle or Vanessa) "They alright, but they ain't got nothin' on my baby" While I grin and make my double chin EVEN more pronounced!!

Oh! and Number 9 is certainly the blessing of ALL blessings!!

[darling1]

To my sisterfriends in waiting .

Take care of you in every way. That MR. RIGHT is probably under your nose.

BE Honest with yourself in what you want.

Write down your requirements...if you will for what you DESIRE that special man to be. this is something a friend of mine told me to do. write it as if you are talking to God. Write down everything down to the most intimate detail...God knows our intimate thoughts so there is no need to lie. Once you finish, put the letter in your favorite bible verse, pray on it and let it go.

I did it just for the heck of it. After I started dating my fiance for a year I just happened to look at the letter and everything I wrote is what I was blessed with.

Sisterfriends, stay encouraged .

Sisterly ALways

Darling1, that was SOOOO deep! I'm going to right out my list as soon as I get home!! You know, as I read the different posts, I'm beginning to see a pattern. Most of you ladies seem to be in touch with your spirituality. I have to confess, my personal relationship with God (sorry if I sound like that Power For Living commercial), is not as tight as it should be. I was brought up in the church from the day I was born, yet I realize how much I take the spiritual part of my life for granted. Dang, I didn't mean to get all serious on you guys...anyway, I'm bringing my butt back to church! My mom always told me that God has a good man waiting for me, all I had to do was give Him praise (not the good man, but God). Though I still think that's just her way of getting me to start going back to church on a regular (not just on holidays, when a big dinner is being served, etc.) Thanks for the enlightenment once again guys!
