OnlyJake Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Also about last boyfriend: Every once in awhile he would say "Come here" and open his arms and just cuddle with me for a few minutes, or if we were in bed he'd say "Turn around and give me a hug." One of my favorite things was when one of us stayed over at the other's place, no matter how much time we had spent with each other that day, or how much talking we had done, he would hold me while we were laying in bed and talk to each other. Those conversations were always special to me. Another ex was one of the most thoughtful and considerate people I've ever met.
Pyro Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 -Knows how to make me laugh and smile -Very intelligent and I can have a great conversation with her -Is exciting and fun -Even when she is grumpy, she does it in a cute way to make me smile and not be offended -Even though we are apart she is a very trustworthy and honest person -The most gorgeous person I have ever laid eyes on -Goal oriented -Likes alot of the same things as me -Has taken care of my heart and I know she will continue to do so That is all I can think of for now.
seibert253 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 My W tells it like it is, and with her there's no guessing. I never have to wonder what she's feeling, all I have to do is ask and she tells me. Sometimes I don't like the answers I get, but I'd much rather have the raw truth, than wonder if she's feeding me a bunch of BS.
Author shadowplay Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 Exactly! And back at you, shadow. While I didn't post in your thread about being honest with him, I was impressed with the way he handled it, in that he accepted it and empathized. He really sounds like a good guy! Thanks! Yes, he really is.
Stung Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 It's a rainy weekend. We took the kids to a science museum today and all got to play with the interactive physics experiments; it's a lot of fun for all ages, and when the ten-year-old was keeping the one-year-old busy and nobody was looking, he grabbed my ass and whispered in my ear how nice my hair smells today. I'm listening to him making pizza with the ten-year-old in the kitchen right now while the baby is with me, pounding on his lights-and-music baby laptop right by my side. In a few minutes we'll all have dinner together and then we'll all pile into our king-sized bed to watch a movie. And he's already let me know with look, touch and words that when the kids are asleep we're going to be putting this bed to a much better use. He's a family man. He's a good lover. He's smart, funny, sexy, goofy, and he likes to cook. He tells me that he loves me almost every day. Even though I was upset with him yesterday he could still make me laugh and feel like he is my home, and even though he was upset with me yesterday, I knew that he loved me and was committed to tackling the problem.
sunshinegirl Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Where do I start? We say the same goofy things at the same timeHe helps me with my coat and opens my car door for meI'm constantly cold so he's always making sure I'm warm enough - turning up the thermostat, getting another blanket, rubbing my arms, hugging me, etc He keeps a stash of Hot Tamales in the glove compartment of his car because he knows they're my favorite candyHe serenaded me with "The Way You Look Tonight" in front of an audience of 150 peopleHe goes out of his way to get to know my friends and familyMy sister had twins around Thanksgiving, and over New Year's one morning, he took on feeding duty, for 3 hours, by himself, with both babies (the rest of us desperately needed sleep for one reason or another)He loves surprising me and has already found occasion to involve my friends and family behind my back for birthday/Christmas surprisesI feel completely safe (emotionally, physically)with him As others have said, he feels like "home".
Woggle Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 She can actually break through the rough exterior I have built up over the years and she loves the nice guy inside that I wish I could let out more.
MSUE Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 His attention to detail His soft touch How protective of me he is How he takes care of me daily...but specially when I'm a bit under the weather How he does the floors all the time lol His desire for me...how he looks at me in the eye in bed...sex or not How excited he is when I come home from work He cant cook for s h i t but he will order delivery/takeout wout asking when he sees I'm just too exhausted How affectionate he is and the gentleness I know theres a million other things but that'll do for now...u guys get the idea
Author shadowplay Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) His deep, hearty, masculine laugh reserved for the occasions when he finds something extremely funny. It's so cute and unexpected. The way he lacks any trace of pretension or affectation How he thinks in a non-verbal, intuitive style that lets him deeply connect in his own way with music, art and the outside world.How he just goes with whatever feels right to him, and doesn't obsess over it -- not impulsively, but confidently.How he focuses in on things that interest him.His child-like appreciation for elemental things like certain textures in a painting, on the side of a building, in a song.His voice.How this passionate side of him emerges when we're cuddling or kissing, a side he only shares with me.How he gently trembles when I kiss the back/side of his neck.His long, narrow, blue-green eyes. How kind they are.How protective and considerate he is. How he never forgets an engagement, and how he's always punctual.How gentle and sweet he is with animals. How he calls the cat over whenever it's around. How he often says to me, "you're so cute, baby."His strong sense of identity and what he likes and doesn't like.The intense, almost pained expression on his face when we're intimate.How much he loves looking in my eyes.

threebyfate Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Okay, now that he's no longer reading over my shoulder, full-on moosh. Read the lyrics for Halo by Beyonce. Besides the Halo part, the lyrics say it all for me.
allina Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Currently I'm loving how he tackles me and attacks me with kisses when I'm just sitting around posting on LS. In the broader sense, my SO is brilliant and interesting. He has been all over the world, is well read and just a really witty, smart guy. I love his strength and ability to handle anything that comes our way. He's also a talented and passionate musician On top of that, he is outgoing and friendly, everyone always has a great time being around him, especially me I could be stuck in horrible Bay Area traffic with this man and still be having a great time This man has been my lover and best friend for over 3 years and I couldn't be happier. He brings out the best in me because I know he deserves the very best I have to offer
Citizen Erased Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 So much to choose from... - His gorgeous smile that makes me melt, especially when it's in reaction to something I say or do. - He makes me laugh constantly, each day, even if I'm sad because I miss him. - He endlessly teases me and I love it, though he is being a pest. - His tattoos. Mmm - Love it when he tries to be Aussie, his attempt at an accent cracks me up. And when he calls me mate it makes me smile. - He is literally the sweetest guy I have come across and I feel 100% comfortable with being myself with him because he is incredibly open and easy to talk to. - I have never had so many "me too!" moments with anyone else when it comes to sharing common interests; music, movies, love of history etc. Our past is very similar as well and we are on the same page with a lot of things. Love it. - I don't ever have to explain to him why I come on LS, he gets it. - Despite him being busy with school and work he still makes as much time for me as he can, I never feel like I'm second choice. And I'm proud of him for being such a hard worker. - He's never insecure, very self assured and I adore that others negative opinions don't ever get him down, unless they affect me and then he gets protective. - I love that I get to see him soon and have everything I've written above confirmed even more than it already has been.
sunshinegirl Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 This is a great thread. It's nice to see some quality SO's out there making LS members so happy!
aerogurl87 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Ugh I just dumbly broke up with my SO this weekend. But when we were together I loved how even after working a 12 hour shift at work, he'd drive 20 minutes to come pick me up, just so he could see me for the week. And I loved just cuddling with him or sitting around with him and doing nothing. I loved his goofy little smile and the way he was always my best friend first and foremost. I love everything about him basically... Dammit! I made a mistake!

sparkle Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 A story comes to mind: A year ago, after only our first two dates, my SO invited me to a huge BBQ at his house to celebrate his birthday. Instead of getting him a b-day gift, I decided to bring over a really nice bottle of wine to the party. Months later, we both moved away to different countries and have had an LDR since. A few weeks ago, I visited him in his country and he took me to a beautiful beach resort. He pulled out that exact same bottle of wine, which he had saved from a year ago, even transported during his move to another country and all....it was the sweetest thing.. And so I begin my list of things i love about my SO: - how thoughtful and sweet he is - that he doesn't like arguing, will never let either of us stay mad for long, and knows to apologize when wrong. - the fact that he remembers the smallest memories or things I've told him, even when I thought he wasn't paying attention or listening to me. - how he always laid out a massive breakfast for me when i stayed over. - that he takes care of himself - he's one of the cleanest and best dressed guys i know, and has got the sexiest body of anyone i've dated lolll - the list goes on...............
Clep Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 When: He doesn't want to let me go in the morning and shares with me how contented he would be to spend the day with me all day. He uses his fashion sense to help me get ready to go out when he is not there, kisses me before I go, and picks my drunk ass up, drives me home and all of my friends too. He calls me all the time to ask me if I need anything on the way home. He is so affectionate which is all the time. He is himself and can be himself around me. He tells me and shows me how much he likes my independence, but is there without question if there is anything I need. He always smells soooo good, keeps himself in great shape and is sharp dressed. I mean really sharp dressed. He has changed his work schedule from a workaholic to a semi workaholic to have more time for us to travel and do whatever we want. That spoke volumes. He calls me his baby all the time, and would give me the world if I ask and even if I don't. He is so protective of me and our children. He is a dedicated father. He is committed to our relationship. He is such a great lover. He makes me laugh, talks with me, shares with me and brings feelings out in me like no other. Oh and it helps that he cooks, cleans, irons, sews, washes floors, vacuums takes out the garbage and will just do whatever to keep our house up to HIS standards. Okay I can't wait for him to get home now with my food.
sonicranger Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I had a great time with him yesterday. He took me to a local art museum. It was one of the best experiences I've had with anybody in years. I've never been to a museum with somebody whom I can talk to about art. I don't mean in a pretentious way, but in a simple way, observing little details about paintings/sculptures. It was wonderful just being able to share that with him, pointing out things we noticed. I felt so close to him, and I could tell he felt the same. Whenever we came to a hidden nook, he would pull me close to him and tell me he loved me. We complement each other so well. Praise the grammar gods! I admire you just for the fact that you used the correct form of "complement" as opposed to "compliment". Such as, principle and principal...
Pyro Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I wish I were CE or Pyro at this moment ... Once you meet the right person and click with them, it all seems to come natural.
Citizen Erased Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I'm sure he is that way because you make him smile on a daily basis. I hope so, that's what I'm aiming for. Also, I adore the look on his face when he's up to something cheeky. I think it's safe to say there isn't anything I don't like, apart from living so far away. May have to work on that.
Ingenue Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I enjoy the quiet moments with my SO as well. He can be watching basketball on the couch and I can be working and not have to be encumbered with meaningless chat. We both respect the other's time and boundaries. I also enjoy: - He always massages my back even if he's tired because he knows I've had a rough day -On the days when I'm in a terrible emotional space, he'll call me to make sure that I'm alright a few times a day -He loves holding hands -If he wakes up before I do and sees the blankets off of me, he'll adjust them so that I'm covered -He insists on doing the dishes and cleaning up -He's sensitive and caring and isn't afraid of emotion or showing emotion -He'll carry my heavy bags for me -He makes me laugh and acts young at heart -He pretended to like a dessert I made him for the first two months we dated because he didn't want to seem unappreciative of the fact that I had made the dessert. -Most of all though, he makes me feel at ease with myself and therefore at ease with him. It's hard to find a person that you feel comfortable with and makes you feel safe even when you're at your most vulnerable
Leia Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The way he looks at me tells so much about how he feels about meHow protective he is of meHow safe he makes me feelI love it that he doesn't let things linger until the next day, if we are unhappy about something, we talk it out there and thenHe makes me want to be a better personHis crib is always clean!Sometimes, instead of saying ILY, he says "a lot" expects me to know he means ILY [doesn't sound funny or cute here, but it does!!!]I actually feel ... THIS IS THE ONE!
t0ri Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 That he makes me a priorityHow he talks to (only) me in this sweet little voiceHis constant affectionI adore his mouth. It's soo sexy.His playfulnessThat he loves to do things for me. Ex. Cook for me, run to the store for me, rub my back, etc.He makes me feel secure in our relationship and about myself. He truly makes me feel beautiful.How he hates to sleep without meHow responsible, trustworthy, and loyal he isThat he's so proud to have me as his girlfriendHow he just meshes so perfectly with me. We're always saying/doing the same things at the same time, and I'm able to joke and laugh with him, be myself, like never before with any guy.That he works through our problems as soon as they develop I could go on. He's so sweet Best boyfriend I've ever had, by far. I wasn't even able to imagine such an amazing relationship, and this depth of fun and love, until now. I thought I loved my ex of 2 years, but my current boyfriend has made me think I felt something that wasn't really love for my ex. He has shown me true love, REAL love. He has shown me what it's like to be in a relationship that people envy; a HAPPY, pure, fun, loving relationship. I'm lucky Could NOT be happier! I've never felt like this in a relationship before, never have clicked so well with anyone! Yay!
Meaplus3 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I'm not even sure where to start now that I've found Mr. right. Let's see: He is VERY smart, highly educated.. and meets all his personal and professional goals. His sense of humor is golden:D He is always there for me:love: He adores my children and treats them like his own:love: Our goals in lfe match up to a T and we enjoy lot's of the same activities. And what I like about him most of all is that he ia very mature, not a party boy.. and sex is not the most important thing in life to him. He's just a GEM. YUP.. MEA has found LOVE at last!:bunny: Mea:)
