What does a man want that lust cannot give? Which emotions and thoughts are influencing his desires? How can a man slip into love to where he feels comfortable that he may not even notice he is about to be love struck? Women look for men that plan romantic dates, buy flowers, and say "I love you" but while we searching for someone to take care of us we are forgetting men have inner desires as well.
As women want to be cared for, it's only respectful to respect the emotional needs to please a man you love. More than sex, men are looking for someone to take care of their hearts as well. A man wanting love needs his heart to be just as important as the attention he gives hers. Fulfill his emotional needs to please a man and in return he pleases yours.
If you've seen "Friends" then you know the story of two people, friends for years that begin a new road leading to marriage and twins. Hollywood always works better than real life but the story works similar to real life. Friends are perfect companions because trust and love are already established; romance is an easier transition with someone you already admire and respect. Friends know each other well, have supported one another after being fired, losing a loved one, and bad break ups. They nurture emotional needs to please a man they care about.
From there an attraction grew in these friends. They began to look further into one another and they discover that you can know someone for a decade and still learn something new about who they are. Intimacy came natural but the fundamentals that kept them close as best friends never died instead kept them together when infertility and tough decisions about having jobs states apart.
Personality helps us find new friends and slowly other things happen next. Friendship makes two people happy as special companions then emotions do the rest as friends become best friends and notice more. Grow friendship for a soft landing for yours and his emotional needs to please a man that pleases you right back.
