Newsflash!!! Its Exclusive!

For those who've been keeping up. It's Official. We are "Exclusive." Meaning we aren't dating anyone else, but each other. And we are dating with "marriage" in mind. We both have the mindset that dating, just to date, is something we don't do. And if we are going to date each other, its because we see the potential to develop into something much greater.

Thanksgiving was wonderful, and he spent it with me this year. He loves my family, and vice versa. My older brother had the "brother/man to man" talk, and he actually feels at peace with me seeing him. Major cool points! To be quite honest, I wouldn't care if anyone else in the family liked my sweetie or not with the exception of my immediate family. That includes my mom, dad, and brother. Everyone else, I could care less how they feel about him. My baby has gotten the official okay from my family, and that's all that matters.

Out of everything that occured this weekend, this took the cake. I had a discussion with him on his consideration. Basically, I need to see more of it. Open doors, have an attentive ear when it comes to the things I like etc. Instead of saying something like, "What the Heck do you mean I'm not considerate, I do this and that for you?!" (I was used to getting that from people) He was highly receptive, apologized, and WANTS to please me. Ladies what we have to realize is that sometimes your man may not have been taught by a woman in his life, the correct way to treat a woman. Or he may have been with women whose standards are not as high as yours, therefore, he was never taught to open your car door, pull up to the front of everywhere you go so you wont have to walk the parking lot in your nice stilleto heels, etc. So don't catch an attitude if he doesn't do these things. Simply ask him, and tell him that you like it. And remember TONE is important. And ALWAYS start off by uplifting him and telling him the things that he has been good at. Trust me it works! If it doesn't, then HE isn't really concerned about pleasing you, so I would keep it moving. Ladies remember, this goes BOTH ways. Treat him the way you want to be treated. Its important to cater to each other.

Aww....Divyne has a man!....Wow...A good one too...That's a LONG way from where I was a year ago. To God be the Glory!
