What's something dorky you love about your partner or s/o or lover?

Question

For me, it's that he's into D&D. Last night he excitedly tried to explain to me about the game and I listened intently like I understood what he was talking about. It was cute.

For those who don't know D&D is Dungeons and Dragons.

So what's something dorky that your partner, significant other or lover does?

Well for my boyfriend it's that he plays video games with me all the time especially on his days off. We play Civilization 5 and 7, Stardew Valley, Sun Haven, Grounded 2, Starsand Island, Palworld, and others. I love having a co-op partner to just play games with.

For my wife, she doesn't have many dorky habits. Not sure i love it but she spends a lot of her free time on tiktok watching videos of different things but the dorkiest is these videos of this rancher talking about her horses. Apparently she is a breeder and I constantly hear about how one of her horses is pregnant. Im glad she found something she loves, even if it's dorky to me.

Kinda similar to yours but with sports. He thinks he needs to break everything down for me as if I care about the rules and stuff.

We went to the opening PSU football game yesterday afternoon. I know ALL the rules now, just like last year. 🙄

My aim on GAG is to decode love, crushes, red flags and all that messy chemistry between humans… with a little flirting on the side 😏

My wife is obsessed with organizing stuff. Like… color-coded bookshelves, labeled spice jars, even the snacks are in categories. It’s so dorky, but when she proudly shows me a newly organized drawer like it’s the Louvre, I melt. That cute nerdy enthusiasm? Instant heart-eyes.

She reads a lot; that’s pretty dorky to my dumb ass😂 Jk, I’m not dumb; but I do think I have that aphantasia thing to some degree, because when I read, my brain isn’t generating the movie for me, I’m literally just reading a wall of text. It takes me several double-backs to get everything from a passage. So it takes me like 5-10 times the amount of time it takes someone else to read a book, and I don’t come away with a whole lot from it. Probably kind of a bummer for me, but I just channeled that disappointment into knocking people down on a football field, lmao. I am who I am😂

This is one of our favorite inside jokes, @לידור2:20. Anytime I’m slow to read something, or show disinterest in it, she puts on a bad Texas accent and goes “Oh mah gawd, yew cayun’t read!”😂😂😂

But oh man, does she tear through books. Multiple books going at a time, talkin’ about “mood reads” and whatnot, she’s all up on something called “Bookstagram”, she’s in The Book Of The Month Club. She reads all these “spicy” romance novels I tease her about. I guess they have all these different types of “MMCs”, which I believe means “Main Male Character.” She says my type is “Stern Brunch Daddy”, which…. i don’t fully get it, but the name is hilarious to me, and she apparently gets revved up because of it, so OK🤷‍♂️😂

For context, my boyfriend and I are both architects.

We’re both huge nerds about construction, how things are built, tiny details, materials, etc. On our first big trip together we went to Disneyland, and instead of just enjoying the rides like normal people, we were both geeking out over the forced perspective, construction details, materials, and how everything was put together.

If I lose him when we’re out somewhere, there’s a very good chance he’s wandered off to take a picture of some random detail or is literally touching a wall because he wants to know what the material is.

It’s so cute.

(I absolutely do the exact same thing, haha.)

I like that he asks permission to play video games even though he doesn't have to ask. Also he takes breaks from gaming just to kiss me, talk a bit or share snacks.

Shows that he cares about my thoughts and doesn't want me to feel lonely. Gives me love and attention , showing that he has not forgotten me. So sweet🫠🥰

And i like that he has his own interests, sush as obsession over Hobbit movies, that he has watched thousands of times 😂

Also, he lets me do crazy beauty experiments on him🤣🤣🤣different face masks, shaving his legs with a cream that is kind of like nail cream. Even tho his legs was itchy, he didn't get angry at me.

Waittt, I’ve been MIA and didn’t even know you were in a relationship 🫢 I’m late lol, but I’m happy for you! And you listening like you understood D&D while he excitedly explained it is too cute haha

But I agree, it’s so cute when they get passionate about something and want to share all their knowledge with you…even when you barely understand what they’re talking about lol.

NathanDavis · Answer

they get all sweet with me... as they see me, lol then they just go back to their hangry mode, when I'm gone... lmao

rachel776 · Answer

gasman70 · Answer

I HATE the term dorky things about your partner, so I don't look to say that someone has dorky things about them. I've been called a dork, or that I have dorky qualities, and it was always in a playful way in an attempt to make it seem like it was cute, but in reality, it was just their way of attempting to make something that they didn't like seem cute to them so they wouldn't run around the house in disgust.

WhitneySnow · Answer

I love D&D too! However, if you’re talking about your ex, please bear in mind that loving D&D does not necessarily make you a good partner. It does redeem you from being a total jerk, however.

Ideally? As I'm single.  👀  Her clumsiness - and how she won't fly off the handle at hers or at my own clumsiness  Unlike others who will.
