Love is one of the most mysterious, yet wonderful things that we have been given. There have been many arguments between the sexes. Some men state that they do not understand women. Some women debate that men are insensitive. This battle of the sexes continues, and it seems as though neither sex is going to come out ahead. In the defense of the female population there is but another complaint.

It's always been a mystery to women that men seem incapable of following through on the simplest of things. Specifically the promise to call at a specific time. The time comes and goes, and there was no phone call to be had. So women wonder if he ever meant to call at all? And don't even get me started on the guys who make plans to spend time together, yet when that time comes, he's nowhere to be found.

This lack of sensitivity is quite puzzling. Curious and inquisitive women will demand to know the why of it. We acknowledge that men and women are different, but this difference is no excuse for insensitivity! It hurts when someone appears to think only of themselves.

Does it all come down to the fact that having to let a woman know they're running late or have had a change of plans remind them of having to report to their mothers when they were little? Well here's a news flash for the fellows; it has nothing to do with wanting to know where you are twenty four hours a day. Rather, it's simple concern. We worry when you don't call as expected.

Men respond by saying that women bitch and nag at them, but really, is that true? It seems to me that the ones who complain about this must know, deep down inside, that they are guilty of the accusation. They know it applies to them.

We're all familiar with the phrase "the truth hurts". It's true, the truth can hurt, and it hurts just as much when a man promises to do one thing and then turns around and does the exact opposite. How can men honestly believe that that's okay? It goes to the question of respect. If you've ever been stood up, regardless of your sex, you know how painful this is.

Good relationships begin with trust and honesty. This means that when involved with someone no matter on what level, love or friendship you should try never to hurt their feelings on purpose. Realistically we know that all relationships have problems, but why create something that is not there?

So fellas, take this advice: A phone call, an email, a text or visit as promised is wonderful. It would be nice to know if we could count on it. Remember however, if you are not able to make it, let the lady know. This small precaution will demonstrate to her that she is in fact important to you. It may even prohibit you from losing what could be the most important thing in your life.
