Dear Sappho,
My lover flirts with me in sexual and nonsexual nuances through out the day. In her loving way she intellectually and emotionallly teases me, and I love every minute of it. She doesn’t need to buy me expensive gifts or bring me flowers or jewelry often. I like that she doesn’t take her eyes off me when I talk to her.
She is interested in everything I say and do. She actively listens and participates in everyday conversation and daily activities. She makes me feel special, she does not judge me or put me down. I think you are right that you get the love you give, because I love her the same way in return. Just want you to know that some of us are more romantic at heart in than others, and romance is intangible.
