I like it & respect it when a man knows how to butter you up. When he has intuited some spot of yours & shamelessly caresses it. Indicates a courage, a simplicity, a purity. You see & know what he is doing. You could say no, end it, but since he indulges you, you indulge him too.
People say there’s no magic in books but the fact that you can string words together to create a series of visions in someone else’s brain is still our greatest achievement as a species.
I also have learned the difference between wanting to have a baby and wanting to be a PARENT. Having a fat squishy baby would probably be cool. The cuteness factor is great. But that is not the same as the desire to be a PARENT.
