“She showed up to my house wearing lingerie with a shit ton of tacos.
I was driving her back home and on the drive I already missed her.
We hadnt even said goodbye yet and I missed her.

Id never felt that way about another person.

When I get into fights with people, my immediate instinct is to bail.
Its like some part of me just shuts down and I need to escape.
Ive done it in previous relationships.
Its like Im not invested enough to stick around the see the fight through.
Hermes Rivera
I just move on.
And then I got into a huge fight with my current girlfriend.
I was sick about it all afternoon.
Nothing in me wanted to flee.
I just wanted to fix things.
I wanted to hug her and talk it out.
That was huge for me.

3.Because I imagine her old with wrinkles and still want to get down and dirty.
Matthew, 25
4.For me, it wasnt some singular moment.
It was a gradual building of things.
Shes patient, kind, incredibly intelligent.
I want the opportunity to do that the rest of our lives.
Wesley, 32
5.We were on a hike and she burped the loudest burp Ive ever heard.
Instead of acting embarrassed, she laughed and extended her hand to high-five me.
Thats when I knew I wanted to marry her.
Sandy, 27
6.It was like the day I met her.
I was so enamored with her.
I had never seen a human being glow like that before.

7.She showed up to my house wearing lingerie with a shit ton of tacos.
Adam, 28
8.We actually broke up for almost a year.
I tried dating other people, but I just kept coming back to her.
No one else compared.
Thank God we found our way back to each other.
Blake, 31
9.Its in the way she touches me.
I just want her near me always.
Gabriel, 25
10.I lost my job unexpectedly.
I was so stressed out and probably not the easiest person to live with.
But she remained my rock.
She stood by my side through it all and never made me feel emasculated or ashamed.
She couldnt have been more understanding and supportive.
I dont think I would have gotten through it without her.
And thats when I knew we could get through anything.
Chris, 35
11.He worked really hard to establish a good relationship with my family.
Im very close to my parents and siblings and he knew that.
He has individual relationships with all of them and its so thoughtful.
He knows its important to me.
And he makes such an effort.
Graham, 28
12.I knew it the first time we kissed.
Zackary, 23
13.We traveled all over together.
They say you really know someone when you travel and it is so true.
You see the worst in people.
And I was still crazy about her even when we were mean and sleep deprived.
