Okay, I admit it was a bad joke. However, putting my poor comedic timing aside, she—and you know exactly who I mean—has a truly great point that we all need to consider seriously.
Guys, we spend countless hours strategizing about careers, hobbies, and our futures, yet when it comes to the person we supposedly want to share that future with, we often act with a baffling level of superficiality. If your goal is for a certain woman to evolve from just a casual acquaintance or a distant crush into that special, irreplaceable woman in your life—the one you build a foundation with—shouldn’t you at least invest the necessary time and emotional energy to genuinely understand her?
It’s about moving beyond surface-level compliments and assumptions. It means taking the initiative to learn who she is at her core. Not just her favorite color or what she does for a living, but her values, her dreams, her fears, and what makes her laugh uncontrollably. It means actively listening to her stories, remembering the small, significant details she shares, and showing genuine curiosity about the experiences that shaped her.
At the bare minimum, this genuine effort begins with respecting her enough to know her full name, how she prefers to be addressed, and the narrative behind her identity. Anything less suggests a lack of serious intent, and that, ultimately, is a terrible foundation for any relationship meant to last.
