In the history of my blog, there has only been one time that I recall a man who flew to pay a surprise visit to a woman. It was Dominic Cooper who traversed the ocean to see Amanda Seyfried. He met her on set to ensure that she never see another man besides him.

Now, Us Weekly reported that Eva Mendes, 37, received a surprise visit from Ryan Gosling, 31. They've been dating for about two months and he flew to see her as soon as she wrapped up filming in Paris.

The story also mentioned, "Eva was good about being focused and without many distractions on set. She was totally shocked. They were talking all the time so she had no hints that he was coming. She was really homesick and missed him even though she practically just left to shoot!"

In a previous blog about Eva and Ryan, I came down pretty hard on her because I thought she needed to cool it. Simply put, Eva was letting it be well-known just how much she liked Ryan. Hey - she was skipping with him at Disneyland! I was nervous that she was going to blow any mystery that she may have had going.

To Eva's credit, it sounds like staying focused on herself has worked in her favor. Ryan is booking a flight to see her the soonest he can. I still think, though, that she could be doing a bit less with him by way of talking all of the time. I hope she wasn't going on and on to him about how much she missed him.

Some might argue that what she has been doing thus far is working for her. Yet, how many times has a woman broke The Rules while dating a man and paid in the end when he walked? It might be good for Eva now, but the verdict is still out on whether Ryan can sustain his interest.
