Do you have a favourite thing about being in a relationship? For instance I love when she smiles and laughs after I say something funny or nice. I'm sure why but it is just a great feeling. So please,share what you like about your relationship.

Being a parent with someone else.

Non-stop sex.

The connection that I feel I can share anything I need with her, no matter how big or small, and vice versa. I love the feeling that I'm not just another asshole - that I'm somebody in her eyes.

Though, I might be high when I'm writing this so...I don't know.

I don't think there's anything inherently good about being in "a relationship." Many relationships have no redeeming qualities at all.

With that said, particular relationships can have some lovely qualities all their own. In my current relationship, for instance, I have somebody who will play MarioKart with me, makes terrific egg salad, and loves me tender on a regular basis.

Non-stop sex.
:p yeah.

oh, and knowing that when I have a crappy day there is one person in the world that I can call and yell at without having to worry about being coherent or nice, and then I get cuddles. ;)

I have someone who will shoot with me on a regular basis, raises children with me, makes the world's best potato salad, and loves me tender.

Hmmm... the common element is?

Hooray! Cuddles are awesome.

I'm afraid I'm going to need proof of this.

*gets fork*

awesome because they lead to sex :p

Being a parent with someone else.


I think that is the nicest response:) so far.
Though I shudder at the thought of children.


Just sharing stuff in general, oh and sex is always good!

awesome because they lead to sex :p

Mmhmm! And it's the good kind, too!

Not that fumbling nervous stand-offishness that comes from a new lover, but the mind blowing experimental insanity that comes from knowing someone so deeply mentally and physically.

I restate: Hooray!

Sex is awesome!!!1!11!111!!!!11

Doh!

yeah.

I love that I went into a 2 hour rant of "why life sucks today" by Smunkee, while he was trying to fix my computer, and he listened, validated, ect. and still liked me after.

Seriously, anyone else that wants to come whine about anything to him, isn't going to get that treatment, most of the time they get a "if you don't like it change it or shut the fuck up"

:p

I am spoiled.

Sex and food on demand.

I also do like to have someone that validates my existance and I also do like to have someone to take care of,support,love,keep safe and comfortable.

She doesnt laugh at my jokes as much as she once did.

Having someone to do shit with on demand. Having someone who likes you more than you really deserve.

as you can see, niether of these things are too wholesome or justified. maybe it's good that I broke up with him.

I don't laugh at my husband's jokes as much as I used to, it's like I have taken on his sense of humor, so I "get" his jokes before he actually says them and by the time he does say them I have already had my private chuckle and it's like old news....

Reliable nudity.

How you doin' ? ;)isn't that Ocean's exclusive NS pick-up line? Or has it expanded it's denomination?

I dunno. I don't use it. Mine's always "Now, lemme get this straight. I have to pay you up front?"

I use it in the same absurd way "Joey" from "Friends" does...all suave and sure of myself.

Screwing around, and knowing tomorrow they won't recant, saying they were just drunk the last night...

I just like spending time with him, he's probably controlling my brain with psychic rays or something, only logical explanation >.>

I love the way my boyfriend can read my mind. Not to mention he has really nice hands.

oh, wait I got a new one!!!!!!!!

hubby came home for lunch, even though he could only stay for about 45 seconds before he had to turn around and go back.

He brought me, a candy bar, some gatorade, a copy of Rolling Stone, and a game for his GBA that he borrowed.........so I wouldn't be bored on bed rest

having someone who thinks about me even when it's inconvienent.

I am pretty thirsty all the time, the meds I am on give me cotton mouth, and since I am not allowed caffiene and juice is getting old, it's the next best option without you know having to drink water...........yuck.

Gatorade ?!? Are you sure he's not trying to finish you off ?

Oh yeah, i suppose pretty much anything better than water, 'cept maybe bleach, but people don't often drink that.

It's difficult to think of anything I don't like about being in the relationship I'm in. Which is not to say that we don't occasionally get on each other's nerves, or piss each other off, but those are just momentary patches of turbulence. I like what she does for me and I like being able to do things for her. :D

I've never been in a relationship....*runs off to find a tub of Haagen Daaz and some trashy romance novels*

Well, Cookie Dough is a standard, but that new Mayan Chocolate is pretty amazing, too.

Poor rum raisin...dumped for a new one...

Not at all, when it comes to ice cream, I'm poly ... polygelatinous? No, that actually sounds disgusting. :( You no what I mean. :p

Having a relationship in the first place might be start! If then I'm happy, all is good. As for now... :(

Now, of course - pleasing the lady with smaller and bigger things is always nice and well appreciated, be it little presents, surprises, time shared, etc.

I'm usually happy when she is. And "schmusen" is always good (canoodling?).

my favourite part of being in a relationship is knowing that someone is there at the end of the day and the excuse to shower someone in love (I do this anyway but its always good to have an excuse to)

well my friends are there but its not the same (though my friends are the awesome:) )

It's been so long since I've been in a relationship, I don't even remember what it's like. :( :headbang:

For teh funny: I love how my wife actually makes an attempt to take everything I say seriously, even when she should know better by now.

For teh cute: The cuddles... the cuddles are nice, even when they don't lead more more physical activity.

Seriously: The best thing I like about my wife and I's relationship is that we somehow managed to survive two years of being 5,000 miles apart for 4 months at a time, and yet the minute we do get to see each other you wouldn't be able to tell because we just mesh that well together. No matter what the stress, we both always seem to be looking after each other and caring for each other. And that really is what I like the best.

Relationships, as in platonic: I like how my friend can help me make sense of my irrational feelings

Relationships, as in not platonic: I don't know. I've no experience with non-platonic relationships.

Having a reliable hook up for the warm fuzzies.


Really, that's it. Everything extends out of that-sex just happens when you have a warm fuzzy overload and need to do something drastic about it-so sex is just the ultimate warm fuzzy.

Someone that gives a rats ass about you, total warm fuzzy. I certainly take way better care of myself when I'm with someone than when I'm not-not condusive to replacement, but meh. It's like having Burgess Merideth in your corner yelling, "You can get him, Rock' but she looks a whole lot better and she'll let you fondle her goodies.

If she played video games, dug cars, liked watching pretentious films and crappy ones, played cello while singing torch songs, and smoked weed I'd pretty much have to worship her-but she wouldn't be into that so I wouldn't have to really.

I have never been in a relationship, but I THINK I would like the whole cuddling part. And the talking. And the looking.

Even though I have been scarred a bit on that part, thanks to my father and the person he cheated on my mother with...

I hate relationships.... but that's not why I'm single.

It's cause all the good men are straight...

But you shouldn't fondle thier goodies...

having someone to go to parties with

built-in date for the formal

the snogging

love

and being referred to as 'hannah and alex', like we're just one person
i think that's cool

I'm not in a relationship now, but what I miss most is waking up knowing that someone is sharing the day with me...good or bad.

I enjoy the companionship, having someone to tell things to and, of course, the sex.

My wife is good at all of the things I'm not, she appreciates my sense of humor, and we share enough common hobbies to always find something to do together. And the dirty dirty sex is wonderful. :)

I feel like being really really emo and saying I've never been in a relationship, let alone felt any type of romantic closeness. But I would say I'd most enjoy the intimacy. The feeling of being completely relaxed around another human being.

I love having someone who can be so many things to me, someone I can tell everything or anything to, someone to love, someone who cares for me...
