basically, why are you dating the person you are with now and not some other person?
what's so special about who u are with??

i'll start with my bf: he has the ability to make me feel like i'm the most special, sweet, sexy person ever and i truly believe he thinks so too which is weird cuz i'm not any of the 3! he is willing to stand in line with me for 10 hours to meet my favorite band even if he doesn't especially like them. :p and he's got such a wonderful heart and i think that we are morally compatible and have the same values which is really important to me. i can totally trust him too.

no offense but after reading a lot of the comments on these boards i really do realize that my guy is a cut above the average male if i do say so myself. :) (of course this is solely my opinion, different girls look for different things, same goes for guys)

Haha, have you been in the babe threads yet? Lots of keepers in there. ;) Yea, the average male isn't that significant. But then, usually if someone finds the right person, they'll become significant. I'm not dating anyone right now, but I feel that way with my best friend *that already has a boyfriend and no pics for you AT'ers*. Everyone says we're really different and such but then we seem to get along really well and I miss her like hell now that I'm living here at UCD. Hopefully the boyfriend will soon be out of the picture. ;) Anyway, good for you that you've found someone.

Something that strikes me about my boyfriend is that even though he's a poor college student, he gives money to bell ringing santas, kids selling candy bars, a high school band going to San Fran, everyone. He buys things for me all the time, too :) He's just incredibly generous.

Oh man...where do I start?

OK, he is the most forgiving person I've ever met. There have been so many times when I have not treated him as I should, yet he always forgives me. The best part is that he holds me to the same standard. He reminds me that people are "only human" and that I should forgive them too.

Also, he is SO gentle. He's a lot bigger than me (11 inches and 80 lbs. bigger), but the most gentle guy I've ever met.

He also has this protective streak in him for freaking EVERYBODY. I tell him he's always out to save the world, no matter who it is.

He's also very giving. He wants to take care of the people he loves (family, friends, whatever). He would give anything for anyone.

What can I say? I've found what I've always wanted.

BTW...I'm talking about Viper GTS ;)

Well, I have been with my fiance for eight years and have been engaged for six(I have heard it all and cannot be told when and when not to get married so do not bother trying ok) and have found that there are many, many reasons I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her. Here are just a few.
<FONT color=#0000ff>
  1. She has a sense of humor that matches if not exceeds mine</FONT><FONT color=blue>
  2. She is intelligent and also is interested in the same types of things like history, music, blah blah blah
  3. She looks fantastic naked and is awesome in the sack(that might be all me, we cannot tell)
  4. She enjoys the same type of music and also enjoys the same extraciricular activities which are numerous and on the artsy side of life</FONT><FONT color=blue>

These are just a few examples of what makes me love her but what it really shows me is that we have a ton in common and I personally think that if you do not have a good majority of the things you like in life in common with your mate then your relationship is most certainly doomed to fail. Of course there is and are compromises but you can only do so much and why would you want to compromise on everything in your life when you have the opportunity to find your soulmate or something along those lines and you can enjoy the same things without all the compromising.</FONT>

I'm with my gf because she's smart, funny, and doesn't mind putting up with me and my sometimes weird ways. She's quite forgiving and I don't know what I'd do without her.

<< <= not looking through rose colred glasses like everyone else Because she puts up with my sh!t... >>


What makes you think that we are looking through rose colored glasses as you say?

Have you not ever seen anyone in a relationship with someone they truly care for. I can tell you that I am certainly not with my GF because she puts up with my sh!t. In fact there really is nothing for her to put up with. We try to make each other happy and honestly it's pretty easy when you're with someone you have a lot in common with. It sounds to me like you are in your relationship for the wrong reasons, but that is just my opinion.

Don't get offended but I just wanted to make that clear because I definitely see things exactly as they are in my relationship and i'm sure anyone who posted in this thread feels the same way, I mean how do you know our situations well enough to imply that we don't see things as they truly are?

Wow, I didn't know about Viper GTS! lol..

Well, I don't *have* a significant other. Everyone I run into is what I don't want. Nobody seems to ever be caring, considering, non judgemental, etc. You people often describe the ideal person, I just haven't ran into those types of people often enough, I guess.

Because she's always there when I need her. She loves me the way I am (and believe me, I aint no Fabio!). She knows how to cheer me up. She's very intelligent and she always has something interesting to say. And she likes to listen to what I have to say.

She's also comfortable around computers, and is willing to learn more (even Linux!). And that's a good thing since I'm a computer-geek :).

I'm comfortable around her. I don't have to pretend to be something that I'm not. She respects me, and I respect her.

She's also very beautiful.

EDIT: added smiley
