Men who want to get married do so.

I read in He's Just Not That Into You, "Remember, men with full-time jobs, wives, and children find time for an affair. If he doesn't make time for you, he's just not that into you."

I had surgery a few weeks ago and the guy I’m currently dating knew I was going to the mall to pick up a few things this weekend because I didn’t have anyone else to take me and help me. He showed up at the mall just to carry my bags because I wasn’t supposed to be lifting/carrying anything heavy lol. I know my friends get annoyed with me but I can’t help but take every chance to brag on him cuz he’s off some straight out of a fairy tale type shit. Men know what they’re doing and who they wanna do it for. Don’t settle for less ladies!!!

I mean, wouldn’t you find it mega creepy if a guy you hooked up with a few times showed up at your front door (possibly her parents front door if she was there for Thanksgiving)? After an eight hour drive at that?

That’s giving me major stalker/killer vibes.

A man who wants marriage doesn’t need to be convinced, he’ll want to and he’ll be excited to marry you, no pick me BS ever.

100%

My boyfriend and I are long distance, and he doesn’t make much money at all (not an issue for me).

He will save every last penny to be able to afford a ticket and fly 15 hours so we can meet halfway every 3 months.

If he wants you, he’ll work for it.

sorry but i don’t like this. Can we not romanticize this kind of stuff, because this is what creates stalkers

The guy I’m with right now literally picks me up at the train station instead of picking me up right at my school because he doesn’t want to drive 15 mins downtown lol 💔

Happened to me. My now husband spent his last money as a starving student to go see me at a meetup in a neighbouring country, then moved country to upgrade an LDR to a 'real' relationship. And we weren't even living together straight away. Can't believe my luck.

Point is, if they *want* to put in the effort, they will.

Ok I think this post itself is kind of creepy (I would freak if some dude showed up uninvited at thanksgiving) but I agree with the overall sentiment. If a guy wants to be with you he will always make time. My husband drove 12 hours for a first ‘date’. We had been chatting online for a couple of months beforehand though. Long distance is tough but he made time to FaceTime with me every single day we were apart. Every. Day. He was worth the LDR.

My current boyfriend used to drive between provinces literally everyday just to see me. We met on a construction site and i was working in the city and he was working out of a shop in the country. So we got thrown together one day on a job went on a few dates and hit it off and he never once complained about the gas, provided me all my meals on site and off, and never asked me to stay at his hotel once the week i was there and would drive me home at 11 each day per request. When the job ended he would drive to the city everyday to see me for even an hour. Its a 3 hour drive each way, we now are living together and its going great.

I dated a cluster B like this. There is no limit in the love bombing stage. He got up two hours before work to drive 45 min out of his way to my house just to hang out for an hour and then 45 minutes back to work. He did this regularly for several months and any time I was upset and feeling done with him. I no longer trust men who are willing to do this, but I prefer these men to the low effort ones.

cocainetea · 2019-11-28T21:02:16+00:00

A guy I wasn’t even dating drove 10-11 hours to come see me with my favorite sandwich, flowers and a cookie cake. Guess who I’m engaged to now (((:

Don’t take shit ladies.

EndToAllStories · 2019-11-29T00:59:57+00:00

Awh that's kinda a cute love story! I love sappy shit like that

amythest002 · 2019-11-28T20:45:30+00:00

That's awesome!

yevano_oruthan · 2019-11-28T22:45:29+00:00

This is the purest thing I read today.

Blackishcat27 · 2019-11-28T19:09:14+00:00

Awe. That's adorable.

wilkinsk · 2020-01-13T03:48:42+00:00

How'd he find the street and house number?

2019-12-23T16:19:30+00:00

This isn't romantic at all. I hope that I would shut the door in the face of any dumbass who showed up uninvited to a family event like that.
