Search Results: not sweet dreams

When I first met my girlfriend I was 16 years old at the very end of high school, and she was 17, but I looked slightly older than her.

At first I only began talking to her because she was a hot, slim and fit blonde with slightly tanned skin who often wore relatively revealing clothes. But soon enough, I began to see she was more than just a typical hot girl. She was kind, and had a lot of sympathy towards others. She was also pretty smart, tackling on 7 AP classes at once, and getting A's and B's in all of them. We also had common interests, such as action and adventure shows and movies, books, video games, anime, swimming, and soccer.

Now fast forward to the now... I'm 21, and she's 22, and we're both through with college, have our own jobs, and live in the same house together.

Naturally, since I began to see her so much I thought it'd get boring. But no, I only grew even closer to her. And thus, began to find her more physically attractive, too.

Sure, our relationship isn't as "puppy love sweet" as it used to be. Now we're more straightforward about things, and point out literally everything... both good and bad about each other. And we do argue pretty often, too.

But it's not out of hate, though. It's more of a roundabout way to say we love each other without being super nice and sappy all the time. More like playful banter, if you will. And almost every time after it happens we're hugging and kissing again in no time anyways.

It may not be the fantasy people dream of when they think of relationships, but that's why it's good... it's real. We can accept we're not perfect.
