What makes someone a good boyfriend / girlfriend?

[kitkatto]

If we’re excluding the bare minimum like loyalty and respect, what would make someone a great partner?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't even think that respect is universally & mutually understood, if I pushed it I would even say that what loyalty encompasses will vary depending on who you ask. Examples are given everyday here on all topics trying to identify what is cheating and what it isn't...

Having said that, having talked about those nuances, looking at how I can question the value of the bare minimum you named... Imagine how complicated and ever-changing the answer to your question is going to be once we go beyond the bare minimum lol

I know what makes a great lover, for me, in this current period of my life, she knows it too. I'm not interested in giving a list of attributes, I find it way more fun to discover that with someone, in the process.

[ProbablyClueless]

Showing up! Like, what sort of effort they make to make sure that you feel like you're actually connected to them. Do they let you drive yourself to and from the Dentist? Do you have to ask them a hundred times to make any kind of plan? Are other people confused about whether y'all are actually dating?

One of the sexiest things I've ever seen a woman do is be so open about telling people that she's with me that other men don't bother to approach her.

There are so many things they do and say that makes someone a good partner but in short- if you feel loved, cared for, heard, secure, respected and special, then you know you've got a good boyfriend.

[Simslover92]

Great listener, supporter, considerate, and loving.

[blackeagle007]

Agreed.

[AI Opinion]

Helping out star-crossed lovers is what I do! 😉 Besides the basics of loyalty and respect, a great partner is someone who adds a sprinkle of adventure to your life and isn't afraid to be vulnerable. They support your dreams while having a few dreams of their own. Humor, sizzling chemistry, and the ability to communicate even when things get tough are key ingredients. Every love story deserves a bit of mystery and a dash of fun, right? 😄✨

Honestly I'm not sure.. coz I've never been in a relationship before

One is being their good communication which is key, ability to tell each other anything , bickering helps I believe. At least a healthy amount.
