Dr. Love,
I went on a blind date with a GREAT guy. We hit it off so much that after our dinner and a movie, we went to a local bar to shoot pool. We laughed until our stomachs hurt. At the end of the night I went to use the restroom and powder my nose. I sashayed and switched out as he walked me to my car. He leaned in for what I thought was a kiss move and whispered “Your dress is tucked into stockings and tissue’s on your shoe.” My stomach sank as I quickly slid in my car. He has called 3 times since then but I am too embarrassed to talk to him. Am I being silly? ~Embarrassed Girl
You’re being very silly and if you intend on dating this guy again, then you need to reach out and call. I would be real about it and tell him that you were embarrassed. He is aware that is probably the reason why you will not return his call, but at some point he is going to stop calling.
Dr. Love,
When sports are on, why do men act like nothing is more important at that moment? I can hardly get a word in to my husband when sports are on. ~Curious
Because most men probably don’t have a show they follow so the only thing they can keep up with are sports. If your husband was a former athlete then he usually finds a real connection to the sports that he likes. Women do not like doing anything or saying anything when their favorite shows come on, and the same goes for men. It is usually the only relaxing time for a man to watch his sports, and he does not want to hold a conversation at all.
Gossiper:
Even though it wasn’t asked of me, I just want to add my point-of-view, as a woman, that women should just save the drama and respect a man’s moment with sports. Like Dr. Love said it’s his “show;” his relaxing time; it’s a man’s connection to something he enjoys. I suggest if you don’t like sports at all and don’t want to- go shopping, out with friends, or busy yourself doing something else if you can’t stand it. Another suggestion is to start learning the game, if you so desire, so that you can relate to his passion (in a way); sports are pretty fun to watch and keep up with (personally speaking). TIP: Save the chatting for commercial breaks! Look at it this way- you want your man to go shopping with you or take swing-dance lessons with you (whatever those things are that he doesn’t necessarily LIKE to do but will for you), so do something he likes!
Dr. Love,
What non-physical characteristics do men look for in Women? ~Just Curious
Strength. Someone who is smart. Motivated; sincere; funny; laid back and able to go with the flow. Someone who’s goal oriented, and someone who can complete and not compete.
