Be Stale My Heart

What does a man mean when, after sex, he says, "You complete me"? I'm a woman just dating again after being married for quite some time, and want to make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions.

There are things a man can do to make himself more articulate, and having sex isn't one of them. Chances are, the guy felt a rush of emotion, reached into the cupboard in his head, and found it bare -- save for a seriously tired line from "Jerry Maguire." Either that, or he was trying to tell you "Having sex with you reminds me of this 1996 Tom Cruise movie." As for whether it's more than just talk, time will tell. For now, perhaps you can find what he said endearing, as many women would. Personally, I find borrowed expressions of appreciation kind of a mood-killer. Then again, at least he didn't roll over and yell, "Show me the money!"
