Just read this one late afternoon. Celeste, thanks for sharing!



Funny. funny. funny. True. true. true-- at some point.





In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy.





Do something she likes, and you get points.

Do something she dislikes, and points are subtracted.

You don't get any points for doing something she expects.
