101 Reasons Why I Love Dylan Tong

finding someone like Dylan is rare...

...and so I want to tell him...

Dylan, I love you because...

1. You complete me.

2. You're someone I want to talk to constantly (literally) because I feel safe with you. You never judge and you always know exactly how to reply. But that's not true, it's not that you know what to say, it's what you say, is right. Does that even make sense? Basically, talking to you is something I'll never get bored of...even when we're old a senile...(I'll be wrinkly and ugly!)

3. You're always trying to make me happy, even if that means giving up things that make you happy,

4. You put up with me. Pure and simple, that's the hardest thing to do.

5. You're so cute when you say things like "sowee," "weally," and when you stutter and just over all you're so cute when you want to be.

6. You call me moofin/moof moof.

7. You straight up spoil me with random gifts.

8. You let me sleep on the inside of the bed even though that's "your side."

9. You guessed my favorite restaurant a month into our relationship and booked a table there with confidence without even asking me if it was the right restaurant.

10. You let me groom your eyebrows and cut your nails. Then you complain like a child that I cut too deep.

11. You make me happy to be with you no matter what we're doing. Whether it's something formal and huge like going to prom or sitting on the couch watching Mean Girls on a rainy day, just being with you makes me happy.

12. You like to eat as much as I do.

13. You have domesticated me. Look at me! I'm making sandwiches and baked goods for you now :P

14. You reassure me of our future by planning big things like what neighborhood we want to buy our first house in and small things like buying those heart spoons I want for our kitchen.

15. You love kids just as much as I do. Pedo couple (:

16. You still put in enormous efforts (more than guys who are asking girls who aren't their gfs) to ask me to school dances even though we both know I'm going with you. It makes feel special, then again, everything you do makes me feel special.

17. You have such soft/smooth/squishy and pokeable cheeks.

18. You're very ticklish. Teehee.

19. You go all the way to China...and you bring me back a t-shirt.

20. You're the first guy that really pursued me.

21. You make me feel loved and cared for 24/7.

22. You always want to have matchy things with me, like t-shirts, toms, heartbeats, and rings.

23. You have very comfy clothes/PJs that you've "donated to me"/I stole.

24. You do ridiculous things to make me happy.

25. You're smart. Don't deny it. People say true love solves everything and money isn't everything, but money is something and I'm happy to know I'll have a husband you can support me (and my shopping addiction).

25. You have a sense of fashion and beauty. In no sense do we have the same sense of style but you understand mine and pick out things that suit me. You know more about hair and makeup than most guys and support whatever I do but at the same time...

26. You tell me I'm pretty when I'm in PJs (usually yours haha), with bed head, and no make up on and I know you mean it.

27. You trust me and I trust you.

28. You have a major bromance with my brother.

29. You're someone I can be proud of. I don't like bragging but it's definitely nice to wear my Cal sweatshirt and lanyard around and to know my boyfriend turned an Ivy down and not the other way around. Speaking of colleges...

30. You'd love almost nothing more than for me to go to Cal and for us to spend the next few years pigging out in your apt. But that's not why I love you, I love you because that "almost nothing" is you loving nothing more than for me to go to a school that would make me happy even if it isn't Cal.

31. You listened to me and stayed pale.

32. You don't mind my constant camerawhoring. Whether it's autotimer pics or selfies, you always put on a smile...or a silly face.

33. You stick with me at my worse and so you definitely deserve me (or more) at my best.

34. You dedicated every second of your life possible to me.
