It sucks that I always seem to be the one who screws up when all I need is to be heard. For someone to listen, acknowledge and understand my feelings (ok maybe the understanding part is not always necessary). I admit that I when I get emotional when I talk, I tend to say things that contradict myself, and I end up sounding ridiculous. But I think a secret every guy should know is that sometimes, all we need is a good listener. No advice or solutions needed, just your undivided attention and a fair bit of patience (and maybe a shoulder to lean on after). I think it's not hard to find a guy who is romantic or charming or witty, but it's much rarer to find someone who can truly listen. Just like it's quite rare to find a girl who is straightforward about her wants, needs and feelings all the time. These would probably lessen half the fights couples have ha.
As if things are not complicated enough, the way guys and girls communicate and interpret what's being communicated is so different. It's almost like these things were wired to clash with each other. Ultimately, we're all trying to say the same things but in different ways. It's all the same love, only expressed differently.
I hope you'll be patient with me, just as how I will try my best to be with you too. It's difficult but I believe it's worth it cos you mean a lot to me.
