What's the first step to loving someone? Start with this. If you're a man, be a gentleman. If you're a woman, be a lady. Sounds simple enough for a start? We all begin to learn right from wrong around the age of 2.
We begin to learn what being a lady and a gentleman is around the age of 5. Some of us never master the rudiments of this, but we all have an idea, just like we all know right from wrong.
We don't always DO the right thing, but we know which choice is right - deep down - if you're even moderately intelligent, you know right from wrong. And we know what it takes to be a lady or a gentleman. It just may need a little refining. Don't be hard on yourself.
Just give it a try. I won't say how - you really know. Think about it. Start with this, and then read on. I won't go into a lot of depth. This is meant to get you thinking. Read on and consider the concepts and message - not just the words.
But some of these are going to require some work on your part - and some long term commitment. That's what love is. Being in love and making it last is work. No one teaches you that. It's not the fairy tale that ends "...and they lived happily ever after."
If they did live happily ever after, they worked at it. This is work. But it's the most wonderful, most fulfilling work you'll ever do.
