I was checking out the Girl Talk Blog and they are reading through the book "Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart." One of their entries talked about this quote from the book...
"Sisters, all the advice from Vogue, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan that talks about going after and getting your man, all the blather about how in this day and age it is just as acceptable for you to initiate as for him, is just that-blather. Be confident and trust your feelings on this matter. Be confident that if he is the man you hope and wish him to be, he will play the man. You crackle the leaves a bit when he is in the area and let him know you are there. Then wait for him to initiate, or not. In the long run, you will be well served either way." Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart, page 94
Something the blog writer said was this..."Mom used to remind my sisters and me of this story when we were tempted to try to get some guy's attention. 'Allow a man to win your heart...and if he doesn't want to, then why would you want him?' God created men to initiate and he created women to respond. Or, as John Ensor (author of the book) also puts it, "His power is in the exclamation [of love]. Yours is in the echo." When we remember this, things will work right in matters of the heart."

Amen, sister.
Em - this was a good post and SO TRUE! It is so great and unique when a man puts his whole heart into pursuing a lady. There is a major difference when he goes all out and doesnt stop! :)
I'm going to share this with a friend tonight...she's going through something like this.
That was a sweet post. I could give you more "mom-isms" on the topic, but hey, you get it! Just don't forget to "crackle your leaves". You don't have to stomp on them and pulverize them, but do shuffle in them a bit!!! love ya!
wow. mom.
