What are the things that your loved one / friends of the opposite sex do that you really appreciate or even just can't get enough of? It doesn't necessarily have to be anything romantic, just things that make you feel special or cared for.

I'll start my list off with - Sometimes (like last night) when I'm Real stressed about work and just stuff in general a certain someone would say funny things like "Ok tell me how to handle this 'situation', what do I need to do and what should I feed you?" (sure in my bad bad mood it did make me say "I'm notta hamster" but it lightened the mood instantly and made me giggle afterwards.

Or when guys are genuinely concerned about things like us having to stay home alone during the evenings - Last year in December after my return from the UK my parents went on holiday and I stayed home alone (my sister went with the parentals and my brother always had a full social calender). At about 9pm on the first night I heard a big commotion outside - my brother had changed his plans cause of me and brought some of his friends over cause he was worried about my having to stay alone. Those were the type of things he'd do for us, never expecting a big fuss to be made about it. After he passed away my little sister told me how he'd once taken her to school cause she was being intimidated by a group of girls - he made sure they saw him and told her that if they bothered her again she had to call him and he'd come help her out.

The evening my dad met Mr Rush he said to him "You better take care of my daughter" In my teens something like that would have embarrassed me Greatly, now however I find it endearing

What special things do the people around you do for you?

the night I met her dad, I looked up at this man who was easily 6 foot cubed ( thats 6 foot tall, 6 foot wide and 6 foot deep)

and he said to me,

"Jy moet vir my dogtertjie oppas, want ek's 'n groot boer"

I think I am too scared to break her heart.

I think as we grow older we tend to become less selfish and there are things that Hiccupsie does and says that makes me weak in the knees.
The way she'll just offer me a coffee out of the blue

or just come and hug me, touch me, smooth my shirt, fold my collar straight or even just hold my hand.
And make me laugh, andd boy her cynical, sarcastic sense of humour is unique and second to none, like this afternoon I asked her why she doesn't
peirce her eyebrow.

( this is alady that detests tattoos, peircings, vests or new rocks boots)

she gave me a dirty look and asked me "why dont I just get a tattoo of a leoparrrrrrd on my chest?"

I laughed for about 10 minutes.

in return I try to be understanding. Women are complex creatures, highly illogical, more so at certain times when they are more prone to being illogical and esepcially emotional and possibly insane
in relationships past I didn't give a damn as to why women felt that way and would fight with them

this time round I decided while we were having a disagreement, I'd rather try and figure out what I need to do, what I need to say, how I need to act and I asked hiccupsie what do I need to feed her.

Yes, she did giggle and the spat was over immediately so now I know that I need to keep belgium choclates with praline centers somewhere within reach at all times.

Yes I have removed my peircing, yes she wants me to get my tattoo removed, yes I am totally in love, no I am not whipped.

I just think that a serious relationship is when you start thinking more of the other person than of yourself.

Hiccupsie is a great woman who inspires me to be unselfish

awwwww

I just appreciate everything that comes from my gf. I am not the easiest person to be with and I am highly anti-social and she is the opposite. So from time to time I have to lift my lazy ass out of the comfort of my own house and actually go out. The great part is that I actually do not mind ( I still don't like other people) and I do it out of love for her and what is cool is that she really appreciates what is a normal thing to do for others.

It is great to be able to (like said) think about that person and how to do something for her/him rather than to think what you like...
