i think youre a great person. at your age , you know what you want in a relationship and admire you for that.you respect the feeling of your partner and you find ways to make your partner happy to show her how much you really cared and i think most or should i say all women love that idea.

I think it's great that you know what you want, most young men your age don't know what they want and end up breaking a million hearts along the way.

Be cautious in saying what you're sure of. I felt the same way when I was younger, I knew what I wanted, who I wanted to be with, and how I planned on getting there, until my brother's death. I now have none of those dreams and desires, and my life plan has completly changed. John Lennon sang that "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

Devote yourself to your mate, but don't smother her. Devote JUST AS MUCH time to yourself, you deserve it more than anything. Women usually don't understand the giving male. He is seen as weak, sycophant-like, not worth of respect. Should something happen, if you haven't invested as much into yourself, you could lose these wonderful quilities you have. When you are ready to settle, you will know, and you kind nature will be able to cement your role as husband, and enhance your later role as father.

As long as you pay attention to her every day, you're relationship will not stagnate, You will continue to learn things about her, and this new knowledge should help guide you down paths that will keep things interesting and fresh.

i think you are fantastic and im looking for a man like you, but cant seem to find one.

I think many women your age might not be ready to settle down and get married.

In reality Scott, all men are like you. Women are just too dumb to know it! And many men, in a protective mode, will deny their feelings and attachment to the woman they love, and generally act a fool which also alienates her and ruins the relationship as much as being too clingy.

What I suggest to guys is that they show attention and devotion certainly, but that they balance that with independence and an enjoyment of "my own life." That means you go out with your friends, you go on trips with your buddies, you do things alone, you don't tell her every single move you make, you don't call her everyday just "to talk", you don't seek her approval for much of anything, and you are decisive and strong.

Women do not respect men that are indecisive. We view such mean as weak spineless wienies. Such behaviors do not inspire a woman's respect or passion.

I feel you, man. I'm the same way. I thnk that it's important that you maintain your sense of identity. Know who you are. You were an individual before you got involved, and you have to keep some things that you like to do exclusively, as should your mate. One of the biggest problems is when people become so wrapped up in each other that they seemed joined at the hip. You can show her love, but don't get to where it becomes "smoethering," if you know what I mean.

I don't think it is a bad thing. You're obviously an incurable romantic, and I love that in a man - so is my boyfriend. If you respect some boundaries and don´t become too dull, if you know what I mean, I don't think there is any problem.

One last thing, if you could give me some ideas to, like you said, "create new ways to show my lover how much I care and admire them", I'd really appreciate. I'm lacking inspiration... Thank you very much
