Falling in love and entering a relationship changes your life. Whether you're a man or a woman, that's one thing you can count on. Some of the changes are obvious. Things like having to share your living space, cooking for two instead of one and paying attention to the toilet seat are just a few examples.
There are also some less obvious, but no less important, changes, especially if you're a guy. You might be surprised at some of them. Then again you might recognize yourself;
Television
Okay men, here's a question for you. Do you know what "smiling with your eyes" means? Can you explain the difference between a cat walk and a cat pose? If you can it means your girlfriend's favorite show is "America's Next Top Model". Signs that you're hooked include evenings spent alone wondering if there's a new episode tonight; a repeat will do in a pinch.
Letting your money to the talking
Men who give their wallet a workout are men who'd rather keep their mouths shut. You avoid in depth conversations like the plague, and when you're in love with someone you let your wallet do the talking. Because you're not too good with words (or simply think you're not), you think nothing of dropping large amounts of cash on perfume and jewelry.
Yoga Anyone?
Women have long been told that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Likewise, men are under the impression that they can impress a gal by pretending interest in her hobbies, like yoga. You overheard her say she loves her yoga class, and the next thing you know you're one of only two men in the entire class trying to contort your body into the shape of a pretzel wondering if this is what love is all about.
Of course I'll drive you there.
This is one of those things that starts small and ends up big. Small as in offering to pick her up for dinner at your place. Big as in she's going out of town for a family visit and you offer to drive her because, well, you love her and want to spend time with her.
Chest thumping
Ah yes, the chest thumping; a leftover courtesy of the caveman. While men have thankfully left the whole dragging her off by the hair thing behind them, chest thumping appears to remain popular. Case in point. You're at the movies. In front of you is a bunch of loud, foul mouthed teenagers. Rather than asking management to deal with it, you deal with it yourself. And they deal with you after the movie is finished. Get my point?
Location, Location, Location
This is one that confronts both men and women. You've met someone you really, REALLY like, as in "I could have a future with her" kind of like. But she's moving across the country in two months time. Do you throw caution to the wind and start packing, or do you cut your losses now and say adieu? No one can decide this for you but you. - 31991
