See, the waiting for the parking spot thing annoys me because they usually wind up blocking other people who are trying to drive past them to look for spaces. If that person can't be considerate of people they are blocking, why should I be considerate of them?

I don't feel I'm an inconsiderate person, if I know someone is waiting, I won't dilly-dally or anything... but like I said, when I feel rushed, I feel panicked... and when I feel panicked, I'm more likely to make a mistake. Which, in a car, can be a very bad thing. If the person waiting for me is really that impatient, they're probably not worth rushing for anyway!

It's more to a relationship than being concerned about who says I love you first or not. While I believe that you should say it. It should not be a Red flag for people. Sometimes the most romantic things are things left unsaid. Example being date nights, the warm embrace from a significant other. The feelings that arouse when you look in each others eyes. The respect and admiration we have for each other. That is how I know you love me. Sorry I went a little too deep.
A little?!?!

Thought I was reading a romance novel there for a minute.

I think we're half and half on who says I love you in our relationship. I've usually been (and in the last 2 relationships) the one who said, "I love you, too," when it was said the first time.

I am definitely the one who hurries at the ATM, tips extra if we take longer at the restaurant (and reminds the table that the waiter needs to turn it over or that the place is closing), who always brings a gift to dinner at your house, puts the carts away at the store, parks within the lines (no pulling through), lets you into the lane when there's traffic (though usually only one car), and picks up my trash wherever I go (yes, even at the movie theater).

As for the "I love you's", I just don't say it. I don't expect people to say it to me.. It's cliche. It's said so much that it almost becomes meaningless. Instead, I show it. Actions always speak louder than words..

Ok, go ahead, yell at me for that.. but that's just the way I am.
I won't be yelling at you cause I think you are right on.

Many people just blurt it out without any thought to it. It has become a meaningless phrase.

When your SO is doing things for you and is not saying the "I love you." You should see his or her love by the things they are doing.

What kills me are the guys who are saying they love their SO and are screwing another woman on the side. A complete lie. That's disturbing.

What's the phrase? "Actions speak louder than words."

Not that you should be keeping score, but there should be a good balance between give and take.

As for being considerate, yes, I am one of those who will walk a little faster when crossing the street, knowing cars are waiting for me. I HATE when someone drags their feet at a crosswalk after I've stopped and waved them on. I hate the idiot at the supermarket who didn't bother to write out the check while the items were being rung up, no let's wait until the cashier is done, then they start writing. It's those little things that send a message to others "my time is more important than yours, so you can wait". They don't care if there are 20 people standing in line waiting, they're going to ask 10 dumb questions and want the executive treatment wherever they go.

Those folks at the ATM, I swear some of them are applying for a mortgage, what's taking so long?
I totally agree with Coolhand68! Right there with you...
