For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

I don't think it's behaving like a woman to have emotions any more than it's girlie for NFL players to celebrate winning a game. It is important to learn to control them though, and it's not easy, and women do hold it against us when we show emotion toward their bad behavior.

I don't think it's right for a man to constantly express his emotions through speech. To me this is what women do, I show my emotions through facial expressions and body language. Body language is more effective than being verbal.
