i'm seeing a girl and i'm doing all the masculine stuff, organizing the dates, paying the bill etc. when she came over i expected her to cook for us, instead she asked what takeout we were getting. i don't think she respects me very much what you said rings painfully true, i was raised mostly by my mother and of course her idea of love is acts of service and submission, she's a traditional real woman so she that's what she taught me. this works for friendships or whatever but romantic love is completely the other way i've come to realize
