10 signs a man is in love with you

9Jan2009 Filed under: Love Author: admin

As men perfectly know how to hide their feelings, a woman often cannot understand whether he is in love with her or just wants to have a good time. However, there are still 10 signs that can help you finding an answer to this vital question.

Asking yourself this question, remember one very important moment, if you doubt your man loves you, regardless of the fact that you spent rather much time with him, this means your doubts have ample grounds.

1. You can understand that your man is in love through his way to do things a woman offers him. When a man starts introducing a woman to his friends, this is a true sign he is in love with her.

2. A man in love is always in high spirits. He becomes really happy and changes his life. Friends and relatives notice these changes.

3. A man in love allows a woman bossing in his house. He is proud of the way she changes atmosphere. He buys furniture she likes. He even allows her keeping her tampons under his basin. He is ready to enter a woman into his life.

4. He starts paying more attention to his appearance, thinks about future - in financial, physical and all other aspects.

5. He vails his interests. He quits all affairs just to meet with her. If she wants to eat, he will leave a bed and rush for doughnuts in the night.

6. Men are inclined to variety until they are really in love. If he really wants one woman, he does not care how many other women he can have, as he wants to be only with her. Other women represent no interest to a man in love. All temptations quit their existance, when a man is really in love.

7. When a man thinks of woman all the time, makes pleasant trifles for her, thinks of the way to bring her pleasure.

8. A man in love is ready to do everything for his woman. He never thought of family and children, but with this woman he wants this right now.

9. She does not have to ask. He knows this instinctively.

Believe in real love and check efficacy of all mentioned signs on practice. If they exist - you should have no doubts!

Greensleeves

(uiweb.uidaho.edu)
(poss. Henry VIII of England, 1500's.)

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

chorus

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.

chorus

If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

chorus

My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

chorus

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

chorus

Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

chorus

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,

Greensleeves

Come once again and love me.

(luminarium.org/renlit/greensleeves.htm)
Alas, my love, ye do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously:
And I have lovèd you so long,
Delighting in your company!
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight;
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but Lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave;
I have both wagèd life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.
Greensleeves, &c.

I bought thee kerchers to thy head,
That were wrought fine and gallantly;
I kept thee both at board and bed,
Which cost my purse well-favour'dly.
Greensleeves, &c.

I bought thee petticoats of the best,
The cloth so fine as might be;
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy smock of silk, both fair and white,
With gold embroider'd gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of sendal right,
And these I bought thee gladly.
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy girdle of the gold so red,
With pearls bedeckèd sumptuously,
The like no other lasses had:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy purse, and eke thy gay gilt knives,1
Thy pin-case,2 gallant to the eye;
No better wore the burgess' wives:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy crimson stockings, all of silk,
With gold all wrought above the knee;
Thy pumps, as white as was the milk:
And yet though wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy gown was of the grassy green,
Thy sleeves of satin hanging by;
Which made thee be our harvest queen:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Thy garters fringèd with the gold,
And silver aglets 3 hanging by;
Which made thee blithe for to behold:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

My gayest gelding thee I gave,
To ride wherever likèd thee;
No lady ever was so brave:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

My men were clothèd all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

They set thee up, they took thee down,
They served thee with humility;
Thy foot might not once touch the ground:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

For every morning, when thou rose,
I sent thee dainties, orderly,
To cheer thy stomach from all woes:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
But still thou hadst it readily,
Thy music, still to play and sing:
And yet thou wouldst not love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

And who did pay for all this gear,
That thou didst spend when pleasèd thee?
Even I that am rejected here,
And thou disdainest to love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Well! I will pray to God on high,
That thou my constancy mayst see,
And that, yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Greensleeves, now farewell! adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee!
For I am still thy lover true:
Come once again and love me!
Greensleeves, &c.

Betty Botter Bought Some Butter

Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter;
If I put it in my batter,It will make my batter bitter;
But a bit of better butter,
Better than the bitter butter
Will but make my bitter batter better."

So, she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter,

christianhomeschooler

And she put it in her batter
And the batter was not bitter.
So, 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Mr. See owned a saw

Mr. See owned a saw,
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!
