So much can be told from a guy’s shoes. They are what he stands in and stands for.

Sneakers suggest a guy is too casual, and that he works so much that he?never contemplates the thought of going out on the town. He thinks he will meet his dream girl in the supermarket over the frozen food section or while picking up a pizza. A bar and the frozen food section are one and the same it’s where one goes to pick up stuff at night.

Now, shoes that are too black and too shiny indicate he’s narcissistic. But, a nice pair of slightly worn leather kicks portend that he loves slowly and completely. He’ll make coffee in the morning.

My relationship theory goes like this the distance a couple sits apart from each other in public has everything to do with how much they are together.

If they are in the first phase?the lust phase, they use no less than four touch points:

–the shoulders,

–the hands,

–the hips.

Their feet are definitely kissing.

Don?t bother saying excuse me. Neither love bird will hear you.

Two touch points, the shoulders and the knees, mean they have entered the love phase.

They don’t know what’s happening or where they are going, but they enjoy every minute of their bliss.

Both will acknowledge your presence, and they will smile simultaneously. Whatever conversation you choose to have with both or just one (good luck), optimism will rain down on you. You will believe that anything is possible?even the odd notion that toothpaste can be stuffed back into the tube.

When a couple enters the comfort stage, they may not touch at all.

In fact, one may be talking to the bartender while the other one discusses politics with a stranger. Their eyes reveal though; there is a deep knowing.

You can have an in depth conversation with one of the members of the duo and come away enlightened especially after the sharing of a good Tuscan wine. You will even know the best castle to explore while visiting Austria.

Questions have been answered by this couple. Eyelids blink slowly.

They?ve come upon a secret.

A together feeling a together secret no more performances are necessary.

?Mommy, I wish the world were a big heart,? my daughter says.

?You think of the best ideas,? I say.

?Love and pink and red everywhere,? she adds.

?That would be quite a world,? I say.

?So, today?like right now?can we make heart cookies?? She turns her head to the side and bats her eyes.

?You are four?what are you doing with those eyes!? I bend down. ?Where did you learn to do that??

?What?? She smiles.

?Four year olds don?t bat their eyes. I knew you were up to something!? I stand up and wipe the kitchen counter.

?Oh, please, mommy, I really, really, really want to make heart cookies. It?s my favorite thing to do.?

?I thought your favorite thing to do five minutes ago was to color dogs?and five minutes before that your favorite thing was to play ?Feed the Kitty,? and 5 minutes before that I thought making puzzles was your favorite thing to do?? I put my hands on my hips.

Her shoulders relax. She sighs. ?Mommy.? She twirls toward a stool. ?I would like a spot of tea.?

?A spot of tea?? I laugh. ?You make me laugh little girl! Okay, I shall make us tea with honey.?

?Oh, goody.? She raises her arms and hugs me.

?I guess we?ll need some cookies to go with the tea, huh?? I say. ?Heart ones??

?Yes.? She nods like she?s adding an exclamation point. ?Pink and Red.?
