1. You understand the importance of hard work, and you never give up on your goals.
2. You remember when I have big tests, deadlines or projects due, and genuinely want to know how they went.
3. When I cry, you pull me in closer, instead of push me away (no matter what crazy reason I may have for being upset).
4. You know how to make me laugh...for hours.
5. You find me attractive for things like my ambition, work ethic, and perseverance.
6. You make the effort to call me instead of just text.
7. You say things like, "Someday we're going to..."
8. You value my opinions enough to ask me for advice.
9. You respect ALL the women in your life, and in mine too.
10. The word "beautiful" comes out of your mouth much more often than "hot."
11. You watch all the stupid/cute animal videos I send you, and actually laugh.
12. After any of our fights (which are few and far between), I actually feel more confident in our relationship.
13. You are proud enough of me to introduce me to your friends and tell them about me.
14. Some of my favorite moments with you happen when we're sitting around in sweatpants. No need for fancy dates.
15. We tend to finish each other's sentences.
16. That one time when you took care of me, you didn't have to, but you did. So, thanks for that.
17. Those stupid little things you do that I can't help but laugh at...because they're actually kind of cute.
18. I can look around my apartment and associate almost any household object with a funny story.
19. You've never turned me down when I want to cuddle. Even though it always comes with a face full of hair and a dead arm.
20. In your eyes, I'm not just your girlfriend. I am a young woman with dreams and standards, and you constantly push me to achieve them.
21. You came into my life at the most unexpected, yet perfect time, and though I may not be perfect, you still picked me.
