"But there are other ways. If you need ask for clarification because her physical signals seem contrary to her verbal indication, why not ask your questions in a more open-ended way? Here are some examples: “Did you change your mind?” “Do you want me to touch you here?” “Is this ok?” “where you do you want this to go now?” or even “I’m confused – can you help me out?” These are all questions that I (and I know many of my girlfriends) appreciate hearing from someone they’re involved with – it shows you care, it shows you are engaging us as people and not as sex objects, and it doesn’t pressure us to give one answer or another, but often demands that we take even further responsibility for our actions and don’t leave everything up to you."

5. The sweetest, truest little letter.
"Just a small thought today. Sometimes, I still can’t believe that you exist- That all the cells of your body can be traced to your father and me. That your flesh came from my flesh. That those precious fingers and lips and eyelashes first grew within me. It seems beyond reason that such perfection could come from someone broken and imperfect. I run my hands across the soft skin of your bellies and think of how complicated and mysterious the process of making another human being feels to me…so technical and holy that it should be well above my means. Yet, here you are.
Whenever I doubt my own capabilities or find some part of myself ugly or flawed… I think of the tremendous thing I have been a part of. I dreamed of you and grew you and birthed you. In your bones lives my strength. In your heart, my courage. And in your small arms, all the love I have ever known. No matter how I fail or fall in the days ahead, you have allowed me the chance to be a part of something pure and good in my life. Thank you for existing. Thank you for being mine."
6. An engagement!
I love Katie.
"...in a moment the realization came...that something i never thought i needed again was the very thing i needed most. there is redemption and healing in a second chance so profound that it erases the old with only a memory of new. in that moment he saved me and the small bits of my heart i had unknowingly hidden away."
