What do mashed potatoes have to do with relationships? The answer is, Everything! These lovely root vegetables will show you exactly how much you mean to your guy.
Let me explain.
My guy and I had been dating only a few months when I heard him tell someone, “My girl, she loves her mashed potatoes.”
I thought to myself, “how the hell does he know I love mashed potatoes?”. I mean, I do love mashed potatoes, but I had no idea how he knew.
When we were heading home, I had to ask. “How do you know I love mashed potatoes?”
“You told me once. Remember, the night we ate mashed potatoes? You had a look of love on your face while you were eating them, and you told me that you loved mashed potatoes”.
I was in complete awe of him. First, I’d only been with this guy a few months at the time. I had been with my ex for twelve years, and I guarantee he wouldn’t have a clue as to my love for anything, let alone my favorite root vegetable and how I like it prepared.
I’m pretty sure there has never been one guy I’ve ever dated that could have told you at any point in our relationships that I loved mashed potatoes.
The roots of a lasting relationship are mindfulness, deep listening and loving speech.” – Thich Nhat Hahn
It wasn’t that he knew I loved mashed potatoes. It was far deeper than that. He paid attention to what I was saying. It was his first thought.
The best part? He was LISTENING!!! Not telling me he was listening while his thoughts were somewhere else, he truly was listening to what I said.
It was something I’d never experienced in another relationship before.
In your relationship, “mashed potatoes” might be something else. A point is a man that deserves you knows these things.
Your guy should pay attention to the little things that matter to you. You should do the same for him. That’s what a healthy, loving relationship does.
Mashed potatoes are amazing, but so is a guy who knows you love them.
