Real Love

Have you ever talked about physics all night, with your girlfriend?
In bed?
Without having sex?

I have.

Have you ever listened to a woman talking about her child for an hour?
And then become surprised when she was grateful because you listened?
And you didn't understand why, because you were fascinated.

I have.

Have you even had a month without sex with your girlfriend?
During which the relationship worked normally in all other respects?

I have.

So what makes me better than all those other guys?

I do.
