Ten Things To Thank Your Boyfriend For

Because watching him sit through hundreds of selfie re-takes is under appreciated

Ten Things To Thank Your Boyfriend For
Dina LoVerde

I know there are a thousand of these floating around the internet, but that's because boyfriends are a truly special breed. They see us at our best, and believe me, they see us at our absolute worst. Although they know we love them, boyfriends definitely deserve a special thanks for all of the truly special things they do.

1. For being the designated photographer at any event or outing...

They know they're going to be the one stuck taking a million pictures of you and your girlfriends before going out, yet they still come anyway!

2. ...and the designated driver!

Although you insist that you won't drink anything this time, your bae knows just how much you love your Pink Moscato, and doesn't mind being the chauffeur for you and you wine drunk gal pals.

3. For putting up with your social media addiction.

Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook — you love to post about your guy, and he endures every selfie, check-in, tweet or snapchat filter you make him sit through. Although he complains, he allows you to indulge in your obsession with him because, come on, he must like it a little bit, right?

4. For putting you in your place.

Although there are times where being a bitch is totally necessary, it's important to have someone around that will keep you in check and call you out when need be.

5. For thinking you're beautiful even when you look like a dying homeless man's toe.

Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' wit no makeup on — add a little pimple cream, glasses, and maybe a retainer, and that's what your man somehow still finds sexy each day.

6. For knowing exactly what to say.

OK, he might not always know what to say, but when he does, he does. Whether it be making you smile, or laugh, or just being genuine and honest, your boy always knows the way to your heart.

7. For surviving Sephora with you...

Although he may have a killer headache, he still tries to understand the difference between a highlight and a contour, and why eyebrows sometimes seem more important to you than being on time for something.

8. ...and Bath And Body Works.

He still doesn't understand why on earth something named Vanilla Midnight Twinkling Moonlight Path of Sparkles (or whatever you call it) is crucial to have in body spray, lotion, candle, hand sanitizer AND shower gel form, but he stands and waits while you smell each one twice just to make sure it hasn't changed since last time you were in.

9. For being as equally obsessed with Netflix as you are.

...because what's better than a night spent watching scary movies, documentaries, or just about anything else you can find while snuggled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn.

10. For being your best friend.

You laugh together, cry together, and do pretty much everything in between together. Nothing is off limits between you and your BF. He knows the latest gossip (or at least pretends to listen) about everyone, he keeps tabs on who's on this week's shit list, gives all the best advice AND he's pretty much the community boyfriend when it comes to your friends as well. You are like two peas in a pod — and you wouldn't have it any other way!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
