10 Reasons You Know You've Found A Keeper

Because if these apply to your relationship, you know you've found the one.

10 Reasons You Know You've Found A Keeper
Jamie C. Pelletier

1. You're beyond in love with them

While having an "I don't need anyone's love, but my own" mindset can be good for self-confidence, I personally feel that there's nothing better than having someone to love, and who loves you back just as much. When you feel like you have someone who means more to you than absolutely anything, it's an unbelievable feeling.

2. You can't get enough of them

I spend most nights at my boy friend's house, and I always end up missing him like crazy when I don't. While most college girls spend their nights partying at frats, I'd much rather spend mine cuddled up next to my boyfriend and watching Netflix. Snuggling and being wrapped up in his arms beats inhaling vast amounts of tobacco at a hookah bar in my book!

3. Back rubs

Because having a boyfriend means always having someone to massage your back and play with your hair. Need I say anymore?

4. They get you

Whether you need help studying or you've been hurt, your partner will always be there for you. They understand you- they're your rock, your shoulder to cry on, and you can always rely on them.

5. You're literally the same person

Always having someone who's down to order take out, go on a crazy adventure, or just ready to jump at pretty much anything you suggest is the absolute best! You have that special connection, which can also include: reading each other's minds, finishing each other's sentences, and laughing at the same things.

6. The way they make you feel

That feeling you get when they send a thoughtful text, surprise you with something meaningful, pretty much whenever you think about them. Pure happiness.

7. You would do anything for them

You already spent the day doing their laundry and cleaning their room, but you know that if it ever came down to it, you'd take a bullet for them.

8. You love their family and pets like your own

If their mother already considers you her child-in-law, it probably means you're off to a good start. You know that if anything were to happen between you two, that you'd miss their family and their pets just as much.

9. You're constantly thinking about your future together

You know you've found a keeper when you can picture a clear future together. You've already talked about everything major, such as religion, children, and goals. You share each other's hopes and dreams, and have the same ones for your life together.

10. You wouldn't trade what you have with them for anything

For all the money in the world, for the most attractive man or woman on earth. There is nothing that compares to the relationship you have with them and you wouldn't do anything to put it in jeopardy. You are fully aware that you'd be completely, one-hundred percent lost without them. You love who you are because of them, and you know that without them you wouldn't be the same person you are today. They complete you, and you are beyond thankful for them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
