9 Things You Do For Love. by fajani(m): 9:48am On Apr 22, 2015
1.Go to places you wouldn't ordinary be caught dead in.
To be with him you'd go to a dive, play pool and drink beer
despite your refined qualities and Vassar diploma. Sure, you'd
prefer an elegant candle-light dinner for two at a 5-star
restaurant. But the lava lamps are amusing, especially when they
shine against the tequila bottle with that little worm inside. And
you don't mind the musty smell, the sawdust on the floor and the
bartender who speaks gibberish. Why? You are with him at "his"
favorite place. If you consistently lower your standards to honor
his comfort zone, soon you'll tolerate anything. Love is an
environment you create between you.

2Pretend you enjoy watching brutal sports.
In the name of togetherness, you put on a football jersey,
memorize NFL statistics and root for his favorite team. Every time
the offense tackles you grimace, close your eyes and feel pain in
your bones. But you realize football is a religion and women only
"rise from the fall" by joining in. So you echo his cheers, mimic
his groans and settle in for a few hours of brutality. You vow later
to light candles for the injured. Love tolerates no brutality.

3.Get a tattoo to match his.
Yes, you want him to think of you as his soulmate. So, you get a
tattoo to match his or one that is complementary and have it
inked on a discrete spot. When it's revealed he'll think, "What are
the odds of that?" He'll naturally claim you are "the one". Playing
a cosmic joke just to be cute is one thing, but tricking a guy into
thinking you are his destiny, may force fate to reveal the truth in
way you won't like. Love is etched in the heart not on your skin.

4Spend two hours in front of the mirror so that you look adorable.
Pigtails in the morning, hair draping over your shoulders in the
afternoon, hair up in the evening, you change your look to suit his
mood. There is nothing wrong with wanting to put your best face
forward, but never allowing him to see your blemishes or hair
mussed only proves that you believe beauty is only skin deep. If
it is love you are after let him see you "au naturel". Loving eyes
see no imperfection.

5.Put up with a boyfriend's rude friends.
Yes, crude, sloppy and unruly is the way you'd describe his
friends. And their disgusting "women jokes" make you choke. But
they are your love mate's choice in friends after all and
confronting their rudeness might upset the apple cart. So, you
bite your tongue and serve them plenty of snacks. Occasionally,
you even laugh along as they Insult womanhood. Yes, it would be
nice if he would confront them, but he only smiles and winks at
you. If he truly loved you he would stand in the fire of their
disrespect and ask them to stop. True love never tolerates
disrespect.

6.Ooze pleasantries.
Yes, nice girls say only nice things, flatter their man, and sing his
phrases. No, you don't want to say the wrong thing. So, you put
on a smile and tell him you had the perfect day at work when in
truth it was the worst workday in your history. Maybe your
mother told you a man doesn't like a complaining woman or one
who is opinionated. So you stick to the pleasantries until you can
trust he can handle a complaint or two. Love isn't always about
saying pleasant things. Nor is love oozy and sticky. Love is
powerful and says it all.

7.Drive across town for his favorite pizza when you are in the mood
for Chinese.
There is nothing wrong with going out of your way to please a
guy. But when you drop everything and hit the Los Angeles
freeway during rush hour driving 20 miles in the pouring rain for
his favorite thick-crust pizza, don't you think you are going
overboard? Proving your love for him shouldn't be that much
work. You want to wet his palate for you not for pizza. Love is
food.

8. Overspend on his necessities.
Maybe your motto is: "Bar no expense to make him happy." Sure
you'll consider his expenditures on your credit card a loan. And
why not cosign on a car loan because his credit score is 300, the
lowest score possible. And just because he always seems to
have forgotten his wallet when you go shopping doesn't mean
he's dishonest and a leach. You're sure he will reciprocate as
soon as he finds a decent job. If your guy thinks your bankroll is
his "destiny", he'll consider it his "privilege" to sap you dry.
Remember! "Money can't buy you love."

9. Befriend his parents thinking they hold the key to his heart.
You make it a strategy to befriend his parents. Your thinking is
that if you can win their affection, he's in your pocket. So you
spend more on them at Christmas than on your own parents,
drive his mom anywhere she wants to go, paint her toenails to
match yours and rethink her wardrobe to give her a boost.
Finally, you tell her you always wanted a big sister. And dad?
You let him think you need his fatherly advice at least twice a
week. The funny thing about it all is that you do like them.
Therefore, it is easy to schmooze them and slide into the security
of knowing you won their hearts. But this strategy may backfire if
your guy thinks you have teamed up with his parents against him.
Love needs few reinforcements.Ultimately, if it's love you want
then love for yourself comes first. Consider your needs before you
consider his. Rather then moving into his life bring him into yours
so that he can see a woman's world is soulful. Then feed his soul
not his habits.
