The weekend, and REASONS continued..

Hey,

What's up? I've been so busy. The weekend was superb. I met my friend, Navneet and her husband. What a lovely couple! Thank you Beeni for introducing them to us. We went for a double date to watch Heroine at Cineplex, Downtown.

I haven't been to Downtown to hang out for YEARS. I've never even been to Hard Rock Cafe. We had a great dinner there. Their potato skins were to die for. Again, thanks Navneet for introducing them to me. Everything about the night was superb. The dancing afterwards was great too. Everyone let loose and had a great time. Missed you Sweeta!

Work is taking over my life. I need to work out a schedule or routine. I've been sleeping more than I should because I get tired really quickly. It's because I've never worked, lol. How sad is that..

Anyway, I really wanted to get down some more reasons because he loved reading about himself, LOL.

So, here you go lallu..

58.  He likes to spoon. He is an incredibly affectionate person. He has a very mothering instinct in him. Cancers usually tend to mother their partner, or want to be mothered by their partners. I think it's a win-win for him in this situation. 

57. He's honest to a fault. I've seen him run a business, and I've never seen him be dishonest to his work or anyone. The other day, college staff called to inquire about one of the workers he hired for his co-op term. And he gave such honest answers, in accordance to the worker's grades and the college's policies.

56. He never stops me from eating dessert. LOL. This is a BAD thing. But for me, it's still a plus thing. I can eat cake, chocolates, ice cream and anything equally fattening without being judged. 

55. He's goofy. I actually don't like the goofiness. Half of the time, I tell him to act or behave a certain way - which is completely wrong. Lately, I've learn to accept that it's his nature. I always pictured I'd end up with someone more sophisticated, like me. But I think I've grown to like SOME of his goofiness.

54. He asks for my opinion. Even though he bought his own condominium, but not once has he thought of it that way. Every LITTLE thing is being done with my consent. I love the fact that he puts my opinions before his. He might not always do that, but at least he's cordial enough to acknowledge my opinion. I can't wait for his custom made couch to arrive, so we can start decorating the rest of the house accordingly.

53. He has a mischievous grin. He's a VERY naughty person and I LIKE THAT. 

52. He teaches me the true value of friendship. I usually bitch about people's friendships with me. NOT my good friends, don't worry. But some in the past, and some who've been bitchy to me. He always provides me with meaningful advice. The most important thing I've learned is - give and take is not essential. Sometimes, you just have to give and expect nothing in return.

51. He talks about the future a lot. Remember the days when we used to complain of guys who would NEVER want to discuss their future? Well, this is one sign that you're not in a serious relationship. My man has never once avoided the topic of future. In fact, he's constantly telling me his plans. It feels amazing to know that you're a main part of someone else's future.

50. He has the most likeable personality. He doesn't take himself too seriously, like me.. which is a GREAT thing. He is genuinely a fun person to be around. All of my friends say it. He's easy to talk to, friendly, loves to make people laugh and has a great sense of humor. 

49. He's easily jealous. Now, this is not why I love him. It's actually a pain in the ass because Cancerians are the most easily jealous people ever. But sometimes, it's kinda cute to see his reactions when some other guy says something to me, on a very general basis. He can make "anything" into flirting, lol.

48. He can stand up to me, and at the same time he tries not to hurt me. I love this about him. Remember, how I used to write about guys who pretty much act like dogs? You can drag  them wherever you want, and they have no intellect of their own. My man is the most dignified person I've ever seen. If anything is against his morals, he will NOT tolerate it. It doesn't matter if it's me, or someone else. No compromise with self respect. Most of the days, I am very difficult to deal with as I have a really strong personality. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I've never had a good relationship in the past, so I forget what compromise is necessary in every relationship. I've never had to be the one to compromise, so it sometimes gets tough. I can be a very matter of fact and speak without regard kind of person. I am a work in progress as I am still growing up, and I really appreciate that he can handle that very well. He doesn't allow me to run over him. 

47. He knows EXACTLY how to make me happy. If I wasn't happy, I would've left a long time ago looking at how many troubles we've been through. We've come a long way. A year and a month. For me, that's the longest I've ever been in a sensible and mature relationship. And it's all because he knows how to make me happy. For us, each other's company IS happiness. We'll find a way or another to cheer each other up, even in the most rough times.

46. The best one this week - he cooked for me. FOR THE FIRST TIME! He made 'Rajmah' and delivered it to my workplace while I was leaving. And to be honest, they tasted really good for a first time cook. Now, that's all I needed for my after-marriage happiness. Right, honey? LOL.

45. He looks directly in my eyes, when he says 'I love you.'

44. He won't let me carry the heavier grocery bags.

43. He holds me accountable for my actions. This is one quality I really admire about him. You know when you are really down because of something, and need comforting? Yeah. That. He never does that. Instead, he makes you feel worse by telling you it's 'all your fault.' Deep down, I know that's a better thing to do than giving me false hopes because it forces me to be a better and bigger person. We don't always want to hear when we know we are wrong, but this tells me that he is concerned and responsible for my growth and development as a person. 

42. He holds my hand when we cross the street.

41. Another amazing reason - he drove me all the way down to Markham this past weekend. Why? To sell a $60 book. It was a 45 minute drive. And I tried to pay him for gas because I felt bad. Instead, he yelled at me for insulting me and took me out for ice cream, yay LOL.
When I got out of the car to speak to the girl who was gonna buy the book - she seemed a bit skeptical. She was almost NOT gonna buy it. I was thinking, I am gonna literally slap her if she doesn't. I said, my boyfriend drove me down here from Brampton. So, please - for the next time, DOUBLE check what book you're asking for. Then, to prove to her stupid ass I went on the U of T bookstore and showed her the same book. Thank God! It was sold. Else, I would have felt horrible.  But the fact that he drove me down there just so I can sell a book - love.

40. He's not secretive about his money matters. Okay, honestly.. in this country, people are really WEIRD about their money. I don't know why that is. We are open with financial information. Well, you see, it's easier for me because I have none. LOL.

39. He always compliments me when I am wearing a different coloured eyeshadow than usual. It tells me that he notices every ounce of information about me, and also knows a bit about makeup. 

38. He is extra sweet to me when I am menstruating. He has a note on his iPhone that says, "Give hugs more often, and offer Chaat Paapri." (That's because I once said, I crave 'chatpata' food when I am down.

37. He was more proud than anybody else when I got this job. He congratulated me and encouraged me EVERY single day, and still does.

And that's all the love potion I have for today. The third installment - for another time : ) Cheers.
