What does your significant other do to keep you around v.srs
- Appreciates what I do for her. She shows grattitude when given anything. It could be a hamburger to a Tiffany's item ... there's always a sincere "thank you" attached to it.
- Doesn't want to change what I do. (obsessive cleaning, hobbies, Halo 3, etc)
- Can easily go from goofy to serious when needed.
- Not everything is about her. Unlike most women, this one knows how to listen and not direct all conversations her way.
- She knows how to deal with problems and solve them. It's not about bitching and complaining with no action. She can identify an issue and fix it without a huge "why me" event.
- Same social tendencies as I do. She enjoys staying in more than going ot a bar. She can be perfectly happy on a couch with a good book, instead of always having to make big productions out of a restful Saturday afternoon.
- Likes to learn new things. When I show her something, it's only a matter of moments till she tries it herself.
- Knows how to take my horrible jokes.
** at Target, looking at toothpaste **
her: "Hey, that's the same one I have at home."
me: "Did I fucking ask you if that's the same one you have at home?"
** bystander looks and walks away fast **
her: :madr:
- Reciprocates like a mofo. I know it's not about material items, but she's overly generous. I've received: iPod Video 80GB, iPod Touch 16GB, Olympus 10MP DSLR, MSI Netbook, Rock Band Set, North Face Fleece
In short, she's an excellent match.

Similar to Drew's stuff:
She still pretends to jump and giggle when I pinch her ass, even though I'm sure she's doing it more for my benefit than out of any sort of surprise.
She lets me have my hobbies -- cars, motorcycles, firearms, video games, and doesn't complain that I should be spending more time with her.
Rubs my feet periodically.
She's VERY appreciative of the things I do for her and how well I treat her, which is a nice cycle, because it leads to me doing more nice things for her since I know she appreciates it.
If I have a gift or surprise for her, she doesn't constantly ask questions about it and doesn't try to sneak around and figure out what it is before hand. I hate when girls pull that shit.
But more than any of the little things, I'd say it's just that we're really compatible. We are similar in so many ways -- we have the same taste in TV shows, movies, food, cooking, style, wine and we are of similar temperament, education, & job status. I get along with her friends, she gets along with my friends. My parents like her, her parents like me. We have a very low-conflict relationship (never been in anything remotely resembling a fight or arguement). While many people may thrive on conflict, I find that it's so easy to love her because our relationship feels so easy -- we just seem to be a perfect match.
