    Love is an Adjective, Not a Verb!

    author Linda GrosvenorIf one were asked to describe love, I imagine they would attempt to convey blue skies with fluffy clouds, fluid harps and lovers embracing with whispering good-byes. My advice to those in this "love coma" and to those misguided souls who think that the word "love" in itself is a blanket statement that warrants no thought or movement after the fact that those three words pass their lips, is that love is not a description. Love is a verb, an action word. Action means doing, saying, and moving.

    Love is an Adjective, Not a Verb!
    ©1999-2009 Linda Dominique Grosvenor



    Love is more than passion and an ecstatic "I love you too." Love means more than sharing a cup of coffee, a toothbrush or exchanging e-mail. Love means "show me." Many overlook this clear fact and end up with undisolved coffee crystals in the bottom of a cup and wonder 2 years down the road where they went wrong.

    When people tell me that chivalry is dead, I say, NO! Chivalry isn't dead, just taking a nap. Wake it up, resurrect it! Yes, you made the first move, took her out to dinner at the finest restaurant in your city and walked her back to her apartment and didn't pressure her for that first kiss, but now you're far beyond that.


    You want to be the only sunshine in her life, and the only hose watering her lawn, so be innovative. We put our best foot forward when we date, maybe we were overly generous and flattering trying to sell ourselves like an item marked down 50% off on a clearance rack, but you need to continue to convey these things to keep them. You have to be a literal court jester, if you will. And if your grandmother never told you, I'm telling you, women love spontaneity! They love to be wooed. We don't want to feel like furniture. We aren't in your lives to be overlooked, underappreciated, disregarded or sat on.

    You say you love her? Or maybe you feel it and you're just holding back those words that you think will change her into a fire-breathing dragon once she knows how you feel? Be brave Robin Hood!
     
    Why feel something that you can't say?
     
    The tomorrows of love aren't promised. Carpe diem - Seize the day! Love means much more than just words. Love means reaching for her hand in the supermarket between the honeydew melons and the tangerines. Love means not making her have to arm wrestle you for popcorn just because you're holding the bucket.
