It is interesting how many men respond to this question by joking...I know we joke a lot on the forums...but it seems most men can't take this question seriously. Is it because the question, the idea of them crying, makes them uncomfortable? That's what our culture tends to do, teach the males that crying is not okay...so though they may actually cry at times, or want to, they don't like to admit it, at least not on a serious level.
I agree. Seems like your dating this woman is kinda like kid's stuff...she's the girl you are intimate with for now...is pretty much how you put it..so it's as if you are not that serious. If she is willing to accept such a superficial situation and attitude, I guess she should not be expecting too much in the way of real love and affection.
However, if she is important to you, and you do feel real love and affection for her, then you would respect her feelings and sensibilities. Being with a guy, going out and about with him, and every time he comes across an old girlfriend they are hugging and stuff...that seems a bit much. I think it is okay to be friends with people you used to date, but maybe you could tone down your hugging and kissing or whatever,tone down the enthusiasm, when you run into them...how would you like it if the shoe were on the other foot...if when you were out with her and she kept running into old boy friends and hugging them and so on...would you be cool with that, and be honest, would you?
Shhhhhh.....Steven is under surveilance and the gendarme are just about to nab him....the rollers, the dressing gown and the fuzzy slippers are my disguise. I carry a loaded weapon and handcuffs under this bulky bit of flannel. So, shush....You are gonna blow my cover....
