"No talking ... until Noon!" rule

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the many blessings you bestow on us, each and every day. Please continue to help me become more Christ-like. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Long, long, long ago, in a city that seems farther than fifty minutes away, I used to be one of those females whose first thoughts upon waking was about the gentleman I was dating, or had a crush on, or in a relationship with, and usually the "lucky" audience for these lovely "ponderings," was my one and only, older... brother.
I remember regularly obsessing about the next time "my love," and I were getting together, or thinking about ways to "help" him in his latest interest, never mind my issues...

At the time, I didn't understand that NO MALE wants to hear about other MEN, and most especially a BROTHER does not want to hear about ANY of his sister's romantic escapades!

And I must have blabbered once too often about someone, because one morning my homie emphatically instituted a rule of, "No talking about guys until noon!"
Of course when noon came around, I'd either forgotten what I wanted to say, or was too busy into whatever was going on to bother my sibling anymore.
Or perhaps my hermano just wasn't around the house at noon. (as was probably more often the case, lol)
Even though this angered and annoyed me at the time, looking back now, I'm glad my kin had this expectation.
Because, gradually, I did begin to wonder about issues besides the bloke(s) I was dating and thankfully this has continued into adulthood - shocking, I know! :OP
I realize, though,  there are still adults who obsess about their loves, so I came up with what I think are some compassionate reasons this behavior continues into adulthood:
#1. They didn't have a relative like I did who "laid down the law," ha ha.
#2. There isn't much else going on in a person's life, so why not just engross themselves in the "splendor of love"?
#3. Maybe there is too much going on in one's life and they want to distance themselves from their problems and this woman/man is an "easy, fun, safe topic."
#4. The "obsessor" is boring, or has a boring life, one of the two, conceivably both.

I am a romantic. I love love.
But I also know now, as a grown-up, that it takes more than life to make my life. 
When and if that blessed day arrives when I'm married and have children, once the children are old enough to date, I too will operate from the "No talking about guys/gals until noon!" rule.
:0) Thanks bro!
