"A hug now, but what next?
I bet he just wanted to feel my body"
She thought to herself
As she hugged him the first day they met
But he didn't want more, it was an innocent hug
All he was after was an extended time filled with smiles
His eyes were not undressing her
But looking directly at hers, as if searching for rare truth
Rare he showed to be
"This man is different" she began to conclude
An entire time spent with a man in private
And no sexual advances or hints
Normally without wasting time
A man would be ogling all over her boobs
Talking just about her body and alluding to what to it he will do
But this man seems interested in the other her that other men ignore
He asked about her past, her family
He smiled when she mentioned her big dreams
The tales of her growing up
How tough her week has been
She had fun, she felt valued as a woman
Respected and appreciated for how deep her mind is
A man who finally has taken time to notice her big obvious heart
Look at him looking at her with a caring face
He even made a prayer for her in her presence
That's how important this first meeting with her was to him
And even in the meetings that followed
He was still the same sweet, refreshing guy
With him, there is no cunning move by a hungry man
Trying to touch her body to feed his sexual appetite
But a man who feeds her with attention
And waters her spirit
"Are you not interested in my body like other men?
Who only focus on my sexiness?
And not the other sides of me?"
She had to ask
And he said "I know we are getting to know each other
I want to know you as a friend, I enjoy being around you
If we end up as a couple, I'd love to know your body
But for now, just the honor of spending time with you is special to me"

In my new book, MANHOOD SERIES, I talk about how it is the man's responsibility to make his woman feel searched out, pursued, attended to and special.
In my other new book, WOMANHOOD SERIES, I talk about how women have more to offer than sexual appeal and how attractive it is when a woman is deep, stimulating, spiritual, challenging, inspiring and conversational.
