So here's a question?
What qualities do you like on your romantic interest? Both physical and non physical. Please refrain from talking about private parts.
Leemak (the artist who makes most of our thumbnails, and by extension my avatars, including my current one) and I get along very well, and I attribute that to just a few simple, but crucial reasons:
-
We respect one another. When we converse or debate, it's never about winning or being right. It's about embracing an opportunity to learn more about each other.
-We have very similar interests. We both want to do the same things for fun, which means doing stuff together isn't forced.
-We're different in ways that compliment each other. These aren't exactly easy to "seek out," you kind of just have to feel it in your interactions. I think the biggest ways we've helped each other were her helping me with my anxiety (I admire her "give no *****" attitude, and over time it's rubbed off on me and countered a problem I know I've had for years), and me helping her stay strong and find success (she's been struggling with finding a job she actually wants to do, and I've been supportive of her and kept pushing her not to give up. I think she's finally found a spot, and both of our moods have improved greatly since)
