I love attention, and before you say all ladies do, believe me when I say mine is not just because I'm a lady.

So there's a guy I like. We are friends, but I really like him, and he responds to messages late. For someone who likes attention, that's quite painful.

So recently, I sent him a message which required a response, but he didn't respond and after two weeks of waiting, I decided to send another message.

My normal self would have told him how rude he was, ignoring me, but I chose a different approach.

I simply wrote down, as a message, what his response should have been, and the subsequent discussion which would have ensued.
He replied to that and gave me the reply I needed.

If I had gone all angry, he would have been angry, and I would have felt a bit more insecure than I already am.

So with the subtle request, he got the drift and I got what I needed.

Demand denotes force, love is a force on its own, and doesn't require another.

Just subtle reminder of what should be done as a partner is enough, but demanding for it spoils the power of love.

It becomes a chore.

And if the request is not acknowledged, maybe you should be without the person.

Confirmed!
Thatโ€™s a good lesson that patience pays off. Easy path would have been for you to be angry, but you chose the intelligent and patient way. Nice to hear!
Happy to have you here! SteemOn!

demanding for it spoils the power of love....It becomes a chore.
