I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care．
What I 1 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 2 ate our meal．With so little conversation I was quick to 3 his family as cold．When we got into the 4 to go home, his father suddenly appeared． 5 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen．I could feel he was a caring man through the glass．
I learned another lesson about love a few years later．My father often 6 me early in the morning．“Buy Xerox．It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone．No pleasant 7 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions．This manner of his 8 me and we often quarreled．But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 9 morning calls．The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 10 him．
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 11 ．For example, I always return phone calls 12 and regularly contact with my friends．I expect the same from them．I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails．I rushed to the 13 ：She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 14 as the holidays approached．But then she came to a gathering I 15 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month．I was 16 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 17 ．Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends．
Far too often, I ignored their 18 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 19 ．Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 20 other persons, love signs．
