Fine, I'll bow to your teacher
Yes, one little comment said the wrong way can send things crashing down...but don't be hard on yourself...lol...it's not your fault that she connects it like that. And you're right, women's brains are connected like a ball of yarn or a pile of spaghetti...men's brains are like boxes. They have a box for everything...box for the girl, box for work, box for play, box for nothing (literally, nothing), box for emotions...and two boxes must never mix lol.
If you're looking for some comedic relief (and understanding) about the two brains, I would highly recommend this...I own this DVD set and it is HILARIOUS...oh man...lol...this guy is a Christian comedian...and he explains it really well.

Yes, that's what it is, stepping out of the comfort zone, doing something out of the ordinary...that's a better way of putting it. I think it's easier in general for women to be romantic because on a whole they are more relational and it comes naturally to them to nurture a relationship. I really appreciate it when my husband goes out of his way to do something he wouldn't normally do and in fact when any male in my life does that...like the other night, my brother cooked us dinner...and it melted me. He doesn't usually do that. Or when my dad draws something for me or just writes something sweet to me...or when my grandfather goes out of his way to help me with my car or garden. It's the thought that counts.
