One of the best things a man can do for his children is to love their mother.

Steve, I see your point but why is it that some men choose to show their love to their woman in ways that often are not interpretted as love?

The ultimate cause of that is sin. As to a more proximate cause, I honestly do not know the answer to that. Based on my experiences of almost 20 years as a prison ministry volunteer, I can say that men who did not have a loving father tend not to be loving themselves. I'm not saying that is the case here; I don't know. And I offer this not as an excuse but as an explanation. (having written this, I feel as though words are so inadequate  )

It isn't love, it is control and manipulation.

I agree with Mark. If you don't interpret his behavior as love, then it isn't. If you have to watch everything you say and do in fear that he will blow up, you are not in a healthy relationship.

You think you have problems...well, my wife won't even let me date. I keep telling her that my pappy also told me, "You might be on a diet but you can still look at the menu."

So, say you get a number from a guy at a bar, he has your number too. He seems really intersted, but he was joking around about the waiting 3 days to call rule. When is the appropriate time for, say me, to call him first? I want a guy to call me and so some interest, unlike that cop. Should I keep holding off? Or should I call? I'm thinking by Wednesday, as my good friend JLJ advised.

I've been out of the dating scene for awhile (approx. 10 years) but when I was single, I would NEVER call the guy first. No matter how much I liked him or wanted him to call. There's something about the chase that the guys like--you act like you don't care if he calls or if he doesn't--they like that for some reason. Once he called me the first time, I might call him after that but generally, it was several weeks of dating before I ever called him. I'm by no means a dating expert but in my experience, playing hard to get worked!

Don't know what type of guys you usually like, but this is the most absurd statement I have ever heard made. Mature men like mature women, not ones that play games...act like you don't care if he calls or not? Mature men wouldn't call a second time, but if you are dating boys, then maybe they would call back.
That is almost as absurd a statement as the one about all women with tatoos are easy.

I already told Ang this story, but I'm going to share anyway.
I met a girl a few weeks ago. We exchanged numbers, and I was going to wait to call her - I had school work to do, so I figured I would call her the next day.
Surprisingly, she called me first. She just said she didn't feel like playing games.... I'm glad she did, cause we talked for a really long time. We are now "officially" dating (so yes, I've fallen off the couch).

I think if you are interested in someone that you shouldn't play games with that person. That just gets you no where.
