Don't Buy Me Love

Now that Christmas is fast approaching, I better blog about this...

I just read this from a Yahoo article. Cut off most of the parts. Just retained those which I know would kick some sense into friends. Hehehe.Ü

For a lot of men, emotional language simply isn't something they're entirely fluent in. And like any traveler in a foreign land, men often look for simple ways to translate what they're trying to say into a lexicon that's more familiar and comfortable.

Language of physical contact - what a man can't express verbally, he expresses physically
Language of frequency - lots of phone calls and emails
Language of currency - they communicate love by throwing money at it

Unfortunately, a man expressing affection with money can lead to a woman feeling like she's being seen as a commodity, not an individual. It's a tricky balancing act for the guy.

My heart goes out to the guys whose language is currency. You should be very wary. There's a very fine line between investing on your special someone and trying to buy her off.

Difficult I know, lalo na if you want to show off. Just keep in mind: Money shouldn't ever do the work of relationship building; your words and your silence ought to do that.Ü

Hope this helps.Ü
