I’ve dated men who have made me feel like crap. I’ve dated men that have made me question whether relationships are actually worth it. But now, I’m dating a man that makes me happier than I’ve ever been. Here’s what I’d like to say to the best boyfriend I’ve ever had:
- I don’t know how I got so lucky. I shouldn’t consider myself fortunate for having someone who actually listens and sets aside time for me, but when I look at my single friends struggling to find a decent guy, it makes me realize how lucky I am. Some girls would kill for “decent,” but I get perfection.
- I don’t need you. You don’t need me, either. We’d be perfectly find on our own, because we’re both intelligent and independent. But I want you and you want me, which is what sets us apart from other couples.
- You always go above and beyond. You don’t have to go down on me daily and buy me elaborate gifts for my birthday, but you do. Even though I already have high expectations of you, you still manage to raise the bar each and every day.
- You’re helping me become a better person. I see how sweet and smart and talented you are, and it makes me want to do more with my life. I’m actively aiming to improve myself, because I want to feel worthy of your love.
- You’re my best friend. I don’t have to choose between my best friends and my boyfriend, because you’re all of those things wrapped up in one. I can laugh with you, cry with you, and have wild sex with you. You give me everything I need and more.
- Please don’t let me down. I don’t want to feel obliged to stay with you in the future, just because of our history. I want you to continue to be the amazing boyfriend you are, even after we’ve been married for ten years. I promise I’ll do the same.
- I’ve never felt this way before. I’ve never been the type of girl to plan out her wedding or imagine what her future house would look like. But now, I can’t stop those things from crossing my mind. I’m eager to see what the future will bring, and it’s all because of you.
- We could really do this. I used to run at the first sign of trouble, but I’m willing to put in effort to make things work with you. If I have it my way, you won’t be going anywhere.
- Thank you for helping me realize my worth. I know I’m not supposed to need a man to see how valuable I am, but you’ve helped me learn to love the parts of myself that I never thought I’d accept. I used to criticize myself for anything and everything, but now I push those negative thoughts aside, because you constantly remind me of how amazing I am.
- I love you. I try to say it as often as I can, but it’s still not enough. I could never accurately express how much you mean to me. You’ll just have to take my word for it.
