““The more you approach a man with your needs, the more he’s going to feel overwhelmed and the more he’s going to withdrawal. What a pain. If you don’t think a man listens to you, you need to inspire him to listen. A mature woman doesn’t complain or put the blame on others when she doesn’t get what she wants. If you truly want your needs met, you’ll find a mature way to get those needs met. Not by blaming, not by complaining, and not by starting arguments. On the flip side, a mature man will inspire a great woman to want to be in a relationship with him.””
