I get really tickled when he does that though & begin laughing because I'm so big that I'm afraid of squashing him...he's very thin.

I"d love it if Gem spontaneously tried that, but he'd probably spontaneously combust from my similar reaction like Marilyn's.<BR/><BR/> Notice the word "idea." In reality, I would hope that Practrice might Prevent, those automatic responses we women (or men) respond with, esPecially while Preparing food. <BR/><BR/>I think, no, I'm Positive with a captial "P", that I've wondered if I'm sporting a huge smudge on myf ace, if Gem looks at me that way,esPecailly first thing in the morning! (WE all know I'm not an early morning person.) <BR/><BR/>When we dance or hear "our song(s), or (ahem...), I've still seen that look in his dreamy eyes. Since it will be our anniversary soon, I'm elated we both are "mushy" still. BTW, I'm impressed you were reading the article. (not that you were "reading", but that you were interested in such an article.)

Said gawking can be seen as a critical glare instead of a long, loving gaze of affection.<BR/>Try asking her to go out to lunch once or twice a week for the next few months, then bestow gifts (tokens of your affection such as flowers & jewels) upon her at each luncheon, THEN try the morning gazing thing, and maybe...
