In today’s individualistic world, it is not strange at all if you think of yourself first. We focus more and more on our own goals, wishes and desires, which sometimes causes us to forget to pay attention to each other. When is the last time someone made you feel truly special ?
If you ask the average person this question, there will probably be a moment of silence. Nowadays it is no longer so obvious to give each other this warm, special feeling. Many men seem to forget that this is exactly what women need.
