things you love about your SO

[jenny]

i have promised to myself that for every negative thing i think about my new baby's family/culture, i will pointedly think of three things i really really like about him. i'd love to hear others' love lists; very gorky, i realize, but fun nonetheless.

 

1. he makes elaborate, colourful, condos for our cats out of cardboard boxes. seriously, he'll work for days on them but takes it philosophically when the cats remain aloof from these castles.

 

2. he wears clothes ironically and cares so little that he doesn't realize that he does. he'll wear his little brothers teenage mutant ninja turtle shirt for days on end while on vacation.

 

3. he works 13 hours most days at his company without rancor.

 

4. he uses pics of us for a screensaver. (this one is vain, i know, sorry)

 

5. he likes that i can gut a fish in 47 seconds (also vain) but most guys are grossed out.

 

6. he can hunt, chuckle, have sex, and sloth out with equal aplomb.

 

(man i've got the oxytoxin streaming; i'm going to have to patch out on this stuff soon. )

 

(i wish i could market street O)

OK- here's 10 (in no particular order):

 

1. He's sweet, romantic and calls me silly cute nicknames

2. He listens to me talk about my feelings...a lot

3. He is a great lover (and looks cute )

4. He's smart and works hard

5.He's a great cook and loves cooking me nice meals and pretending to be Jamie Oliver

6.He hoots me when I catch a good wave when we're surfing together

7.He's adventurous and playful

8.He shares the same values and general goals as me

9.He greets me at the door with a big hug when I come home

10.He loves me and tells me so, often

 

Well, Jenny, it is a rather soppy post...but I decided to write 10 things. It's a good exercise, and a great way of remembering what you've got!

[jenny]

lol! i love it!

 

5.He's a great cook and loves cooking me nice meals and pretending to be Jamie Oliver

 

wow! you are a lucky one- i'd never be dressed again!

 

p.s: ok, number 7. he knows the price of an anvil, and has a long diatribe about how unlikely it is that wily e. coyote would be in possession of such a large amount of disposable income to pruchase so many of these and other acme deliverables. we have concluded that he must be old riche.

[moimeme]

OT for a second - I figured Wiley was just a vengeful SOB. He could have purchased numerous feasts at the finest restaurants LOL.

[Thinkalot]

lol Jenny. I had never contemplated the issue of how coyote would have had the money...but I think your fiance makes a good point.

 

And moimeme, I agree with you...he was just plain mean.

[Arabess]

I'm not IN a relationship anymore.....

 

But when I was.....he was the most romantic man in the world. We would write 'Elizabethan letters' to each other. I would be the Lady....and he was the 'Knight' at war. I loved him so......

 

and he was witty....

 

and funny....

 

and sexy....

 

and more man than I can ever replace.

3. he has me and our children at the top of his list despite a stressful and involved career.

4. he is so intelligent and whitty

5. he has manners and integrity

7. he is willing to say when he is wrong and quick to appologize

8. he loves to travel and vacation

DAMN....I wish you could TOO Jenny!!!! Keep me on your mailing list....just incase you come up with some potient.

[DerangedAngel]

Ok, guys... here's mine:

 

1). He tells me he loves me OFTEN and I never get tired of hearing it.

2). He is my best friend and is always there to listen to me if I need him.

3). He is my practical 'half' and reminds me of my need for "reality-checks" on a pretty regular basis.

4). He lets me cuddle and kiss him a bunch.

5). He cuddles and kisses back a bunch!

6). He's a very sexy guy - an amazing kisser.

7). He and I share a special hug... we call it our 'scary hug'. Too silly to explain.

8). He's very hardworking.

9). I have a weird sense of humor, and he's usually the only one to understand me and laugh at my jokes.

10). He's like a big kid and loves to go out and do fun things with me, most others in my life are rather lethargic.

 

Now I miss him terribly.

Hmmm... how come no men are responding???

Hmmm... how come no men are responding???

 

I don't know cdn.....maybe it's because the only have the ONE thing they DO seem to appreciate......LOL!

[moimeme]

I think we only have a few happily-married fellows here. I think maybe WiseOLDMan is one. Can anybody think of any others?

Nobody said anything about being married. The word in the title was "SO."

[wiseOLDman]

Thank you moimeme and unfair Arabess.

 

Let me see, 10 things:

 

1. She's my best friend

2. She's a wonderful wife and mother

3. She's her own person

4. She's intelligent

5. She knows when I need to talk and when I don't

6. She put's up with my idiosyncrasies

7. She cares about her appearance, but isn't obsessive about them.

8. We share common interests, but she pursues others as well.

9. She gives me strength and the desire to be a better person.

10. She was, and always will be, THE ONE.

 

Oh, and Arabess- She's the best lover a husband could want.

[Kanuk]

I could make a list liek this with over 100 entries just off the top of my head. But my SO is gone.

 

She was perfect to me for so many reasons. I'd like to think she at least THOUGHT of me like you women think of your SO's. But that doesn't matter anymore. I did all of the things you have all described (except the elizabethan letters, and i'm not sure i was so great in bed, but definatly generous).

 

She's gone though, or else i would have written my extensive list.

[Venéa]

I'm such a lurker on here, check it every day but hardly ever post, don't know why...anyway this was too cute to pass up.

 

1. He is my best friend, who I share things with I haven't dreamed of telling another soul.

2. A day doesn't go by when he doesn't tell me he loves me and that he couldn't live without me.

3. He calls me every day on his lunchbreak, even for a second to ask me how my day has been and listens paitently to my rambles about pointless things.

4. He is so beautiful, both inside and out, but is ever so self conscious of his body even though he knows I adore him just as he is and vice versa.

5. Before me, he'd go out every weekend and get drunk with his friends (even when he had other girlfriend's) and now, because I'm not into that, he spends time with me - having romantic meals or just sitting by the fire watching TV.

6. I'm that happiest I can be when I'm laying in his arms and he's sleeping, ever so angelic.

7. He works really hard and deserves all that he has - I'm so proud of him.

8. He is amazing in bed; and always puts my needs first.

9. Sometimes he calls me in the middle of the night, just because.

10. He hugs and kisses me all the time, and tells me he loves me in front of all his friends (even though alot of them are very immature and think this is really sad).

11. He has been through alot in his life, and still manages to have a smile on his face.

12. He gets incredibly stressed out when he's driving, and often loses his rag at other drivers - it's just adorable.

13. He sits through "Sex and the City" and doesn't dose off - instead he *tries* to understand what's going on and then he's all "Aahhh, so that's why you do that".

14. He puts up with my mood swings, especially my PMS; and always manages to make me laugh even on the worst days.

15. Although he's incredibly tactless sometimes, he always tries to make up for it by saying how much he regrets his past and wishes he lost his virginity to me instead of all the others who meant nothing in comparison.

 

I could go on...

 

For someone who I complain about sometimes (mainly because I'm jealous), he's a fantastic boyfriend and I adore him; flaws and all.

[Thinkalot]

Awwww...this is such a feel good thread.

[Reckless]

oh isn't this a nice thread....

 

I love that my guy likes to spoon (me on the inside of course..). First time after we made love he kinda turned me on my side and scootered in behind me and of course I thought '... uh-oh...' and when he snuggled I thought '... he likes so snuggle!!! A KEEPER!!!!!'...LOL...

 

(Warms my icy little feet between his shins comes a close second...)

[Slapshot2286]

Well, my list could go on forever. I just told her a few nights ago that I think she is the most amazing person in the world. I know everybody tells their SO that, but, I am a very competitive person, and I ALWAYS strive to be the best. But with her, I know I will never be a better, or nicer, or more loving person than her, and I'm happy to admit defeat to her! I really am in awe in her presence. But here's the list.

 

1. The way she crinkles her nose when she smiles

2. She gives me gifts with thought and meaning that I never knew I would want, but love after I receive them

3. She tells me how buff I am and how she loves my body, even though I don't

4. She is as health-crazy as I am

5. How she puts up with me when I'm angry at something

6. How, without even having me say it, she knows when I'm feelin jealous (especially around one of her ex's that is in her circle of friends that she sees often...and even though she hates him, I'm still jealous) and she tells me not to worry and that she still loves me

7. She'll treat me like a mom and take care of me when I need it

8. She is a very good cook

9. She's AWESOME in bed!

10. How she pops up on her tiptoes to kiss me

11. The way she gets all giddy when I compliment her and smiles really big

12. She sends me e-mails while she's at school (she lives in Britain so she's 6 hrs ahead of me) so I get them when I wake up, telling me to have a good day

13. We both say things at the exact same time, and agree on everything all the time

14. She's insecure with her body to an extent, even though she's BEAUTIFUL

15. She lets me buy things for her when she can do it herself

16. She loves to joke around and have little-kid fun

17. How she puts up with me as I go off on boyish tangents and do stupid things

18. She wants to go skydiving with me!

19. How she holds my hand in the car and moves her hand with me when I shift

20. How independent she is

21. How she rubs my neck and scratches my head while I'm driving

22. Her beautiful lips

23. How she wants to kiss me every time the car stops and a car always honks at us to keep us moving

24. She has made me a calmer, kinder person

25. She has a really nice family

26. She's not afraid to tell me how much she misses/loves me around her family, because she wants them to know

27. She goes online on webcam every day because she knows how important it is to me to see her

28. She likes to do guy-stuff, and isn't afraid to get dirty

29. She is as crazy about me as I am about her!!!!

30. She has an awesome sense of style and isn't afraid to try new things even if they're not popular at the time, cuz she'll make them popular

 

...I could go on and on but you guys don't wanna read all that mushy stuff anymore...write ur own!!

[Cariel]

Off the top of my head:

 

1. He gives me my space while never allowing me to doubt he's right there for me, all the time.

 

2. He's an amazing cook.

 

3. The way he pulls me close and holds me firmly (but still gently), especially when we're drifting off to sleep.

 

4. The twinkle in his eyes when he's about to set me into gales of laughter.

 

5. The gentleness in his eyes when he tells me he loves me.

 

6. His agile mind and flights of fancy.

 

7. Waking up to a love poem or a silly one inspired by something that happened the previous day.

 

8. The ancient muffler knitted by his grandma, which he wouldn't be without (I spend a lot of time mending it, LOL!)

 

9. That cute little butt!

 

10. Unexpected gifts (that would include a massive wheel of brie) purchased because he was thinking of me when he saw the item and knew I'd love it.

 

11. His sensitivity and willingness to talk about what he's feeling and encouragement for me to do the same.

 

There must be at least 1000 more, but it's time to make coffee

[jmargel]

Me & my gf talked Saturday night about things like this and something she told me really touched my heart. She told me that every morning she prays to god to thank him for us being together. I just love SO many things about her! We were best friends for almost a year before we became a couple. So here's my list:

 

- She is truly an amazing person

- Personality wise, no one can match her.

- The way she looks at me right before we kiss!

- How she puts her head on my chest when we goto sleep

- When I call, and when she answers with such an excited voice

- When she calls me by my full name (i'm so used to being called Jeff, but she calls me Darling Jeffrey)

- She is truly my best friend

- She is so patient when I talk to her, she truly listens to me and doesn't interrupt when i'm speaking

- How we like so many of the same things together

- How she is so affectionate with my german shepherd (im a big animal lover) those two have really bonded.

- How she dresses up for me, even if we are just going to some cheap restuarant. She always wants to look her best

- How she's made a scrap book of us, with all of our pictures, the poems I've written her, etc..

- How she's told me she can't imagine life without me

- The fact that we've never gotten into a fight

- She's an awesome cook!

- The best lover i've ever had. Willing to try anything new with me

- How we have pet names for each other (I call her Kitten, and i'm her Tiger)

- How she goes to school full-time, has a demanding full-time job yet is always SO patient with me.

 

I think this is a pretty good idea for a v-tines day gift. I'm going to write this to her about all the things I appreciate it.

 

Ugh, now I miss her! *sniff* I won't see her til the tomorrow at the earliest.
