Things I like about Agnes...

Although this list is by no means exhaustive, it kind of touches upon what makes her so special...

1) She is an independent, modern woman. In that I mean she does not need me to pander to her every whim and fancy. A typical date with her is enjoyable because I do not have to act like someone trapped in a time warp. She orders her own food and sometimes even takes care of the drinks. Agnes is not the sort who expects her guy to wait on her hand and foot. Which is refreshing. She also does not expect me to hold doors open for her.

In fact because she is so self-sufficient, it makes me want to pamper and let her know how much I appreciate her even more. And she appreciates all the small things I do for her so much. She does not see it as my duty to do 'gentlemanly' things for her and is often overwhelmed when I do stuff for her.

2) Her love for animals. I think anyone who knows me would know how much I love animals and nature. So it is priceless to have a partner whom I can share my passion with. In fact in some aspects her love surpasses even mine for conservation and animal rights.

3) Making time for what is important. In life we often make time for the things we esteem most in our hearts. And Agnes despite all her committments besides me, still makes the time and effort for us to do things together and spend quality time. Agnes has her family time to tend to, as well as work and her piano, as well as her future further studies to contend with, yet she still finds time to make me the centre of her universe. That is something that means so much to me.

4) She is passionate. I do not know how to describe it here without divulging our litle secrets. But let us just say that she is a good kisser, and that she is affectionate. Words can only say so much, but actions leave an indelible impression! When we are together, I feel so loved. A simple touch or the feeling of her hand in mine is enough to make me feel special. Her hugs and kisses mean so much because you know she is not just going through the motions, but that they are expressions of the love she holds for me in her hearts.

5) She is practical. I am the sort who loves to indulge those I treasure most. I see it as an expression of my love towards those I love. But Agnes is never quick to take advantage of that 'weakness'. In fact she loves me in spite of myself. I may not earn as much as her even now, but she is willing to overlook my shortcomings. She never asks for the moon and expects me to deliver. As such I have learnt to be more prudent in my expenditure. It does not cost alot to have a good time anyway. So at least now I am more conscientious about what I spend on.
