Wants: To figure out what you need right now so that he can fill that need

Needs: To have some needs of his own

Mainly Concentrating On: Saying the "right" thing so that you'll stop going on and on about stuff that's really negative and realize that you think way, way too much

Not-So-Fun: You can't just pay the bill and leave.

THE BOY

Wants: Unconditional positive regard and supportiveness and warmth, just like he gets from his mother

Needs: A spanking

Mainly Concentrating On: Explaining a very involved point that it will take no small amount of patience to understand, but if you interrupt, you are a deeply flawed person

Benefits: Cute, creative, spontaneous; knows how to seize the day; lives in the moment

Drawbacks: Seizing the day often translates into dirty dishes, massive debt, and no wedding ring.

Fun: His childlike wonder and enthusiasm are contagious.

Not-so-Fun: Eventually, they'll make you sick.

Deepest, Darkest Secret: He doesn't know how to operate a broom.

With Him, You'll Be: Exhausted and impatient, just like a mommy
