15 Signs You’re With A Good Man

by

James Michael Sama

When it comes to dating and relationships, I often find myself wondering how certain people end up with others. Wondering why they don’t walk away if they don’t get what they deserve and hoping that they truly appreciate their teammate if they are getting what they deserve.

I think a big part of the problem blurring this line is that many people aren’t even quite sure what a healthy relationship looks like these days or how a ‘good man’ (or woman) should act towards their partner. To help clarify, I have put together this list of how a good man should act while in a relationship.

A good man never lets you forget how much he loves you.

I cannot tell you how many conversations I have had with women who tell me that there is no affection in their relationship. The man in their life does not make them feel…

Pick Me

I’ve found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said “Journeys end in lovers meeting.” What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said “love is blind”. Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades. For others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there’s another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love.

Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of them? What about their stories, those who fall in love alone? The victims of the one sided affair. They are the cursed of the loved ones. They are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. 

When you fall for someone whom you know has no intention for you in that sort of ways, its just sad. The way we hope and keep believing that MAYBE in a parallel universe that they would have the same feelings for you too.

Like when you fall for a friend. You may or may not always together but they’re there. Hanging out, having a meal or two, or maybe going to the cinemas together with all your other friends. You could feel like there’s something there. You may or may not be imagining it.

That we’ll never be certain unless something happens.

You worry when they’re not feeling well or when they have a problem. You love seeing them and even if it’s just for a few minutes you smile like an idiot. It’s not even voluntary anymore. You accept what they are for who they are. And not to mention the request they ask you to do but you do it because why not. You tolerate the annoying things they do because you’re probably used to it by now.

I know I am.

And in a parallel universe where Im upfront about my feelings towards you, this is what I’ll say.

Okay, here it is. Your choice, it’s simple, pick me. And I’m sure whoever you’re into right now is really great. But, I like you. In a really, big really big pretend to like your taste in sports, listen to you rant about the same thing, do things that I don’t normally do, unfortunate way that makes me hate you… like you. Like a lot. So pick me. Choose me. Like me. In some weird way, I think you’re fantastic.
