‘Being patient and honorable, even when it’s acceptable to be a dick. We met at a party. Two other guys were hitting on me but said incredibly invasive and offensive things when I really started talking to them. (Asking repeatedly if I was a virgin and telling me women make bad scientists).

‘Afterward, this dude stayed chill when I sat down on the couch next to him. I was pretty drunk. He never tried to pressure me. We talked bullshit. He asked for my number at the end of the night. We’ve been together 21 years. Basically he was just decent and not trying to rush the tempo.’

‘Changed his opinion on something when given evidence to the contrary to his original beliefs. He’s one of the most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. Genuinely listens to people and actually weighs the things people say to him. Never just dismisses people without deeply considering their words and their perspective.

‘I can’t wait to marry him. ’

‘A man stands out when he’s genuinely kind, listens attentively, remembers small details, and treats everyone with respect. Thoughtful actions leave the biggest impact!’

‘I had a rough life growing up and it was still rough when I met him. Friends had fallen away and were off to their own lives. I was working in a call center. I was working triple/double shifts to survive in my apartment alone. My family isn’t even a question on the table. I had just been alone for a long time.

‘I met this guy on a dating app. I had been on a ton of awful dates as one does when trying to find your person on an app. But this one guy I saw had these pics of him in a hat way too small for his head and a couple of other photos I found endearing. We messaged for a long time, and it wasn’t hollow conversations. Real conversations that weren’t ended in one worded replies.

‘After some time and me giving up on dating for a bit, I deleted my app/account. But I just.. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. So a few weeks later, I made the account again and found him. We planned a date that week.

‘He showed up to our first date with a small gift bag. Inside was a small 3-d printed dino skull. He stood there in the sunset that evening telling me that he didn’t know if I would like him (aka continue to see and date him) should my birthday come in a month, and he wanted to give me a birthday present now just in case.

‘He remembered my birthday. He remembered every detail from our conversations. He remembered I said I loved dinosaurs. He made me cry that night as I hadn’t gotten a gift from anyone in a very very very long time. It was given with love.

‘He’s my husband. 7yrs happy and going on till the end of time ’

‘This was a coworker, not a romantic interest. But, ordered me flowers on behalf of the company for an event and had specifically instructed the florist to make sure they were non-toxic to cats so I could take them home.

‘Just him remembering that I had a cat and putting two and two together in that way was way more thoughtful than most dudes trying to date me ever were, really blew me away.’

‘From the first time we met in person and over 4 years later, he looks at me like I’m the most precious thing in the world. No one has ever looked at me with such wonder my entire life, and he takes such good care of me.

‘The only time he’s made me cry was last week when he surprised me with a photo album of our cat who’s been diagnosed with cancer and only a few months left to live. I love this man so much.’

‘He was hanging around my boyfriend of the time who was bragging about how he was cheating on me. The next night when we were all hanging out in a group, he asked if I’d like to go on a walk with him before I went home for the night because he wanted to talk to me about something.

‘He told me everything my bf said about the girl because “you deserved to know”. He bought me a soda and talked to me while I processed it and never once made me feel like he was preying on that circumstance like people sometimes do.’

‘My now husband after a few weeks of dating showed up with a journal he’d picked out. I mentioned in passing I liked writing. It was just a nice gesture. He saw it, thought of me and handed it to me without fanfare as he picked me up for dinner.

‘It was the listening, the thoughtfulness specifically for my interest, and the modest way he did it where he didn’t need me to make a big deal about his gesture. It was a sign he’d be interested in me and thoughtful in small ways, I thought. 20 years in, I was right and it has held true.’
