Felt stuck last Thursday night. My girl looked at me all expectant after cooking dinner, and I just mumbled “thanks babe.” Kinda weak, right? Knew I had to up my game.
Getting The Idea
Scrolled through Reddit saw dudes struggling with sweet talk. One comment said “just describe her dumbass!” Lightbulb moment. Made coffee sat with my notebook wrote “express love easy words” at the top. Figured I’d road test everything before sharing.
First Attempt Disaster
Next morning kissed her goodbye and blurted “you’re… adequately pleasant!” She froze. Eyes narrowed. “Adequately? Seriously?” Whole vibe turned Arctic. Grabbed my bag muttering “gotta fix this mess.”
Realized fast – needed:
- No dictionary words (nobody wants “splendiferous”)
- Zero cheese (she hates “snuggle muffin” crap)
- Actual stuff she does
The Testing Phase
Made a secret list while she watched Netflix:
- When she laughed at my bad jokes → “You make dorkiness cute”
- Her fixing my coffee just right → “My personal barista hero”
- That frown she gets scrolling work emails → “Your serious face’s weirdly hot”
Tested them next three days:
Win: Told her “love how you argue with the microwave” during dinner prep. She snorted soda out her nose laughing. Point one!
Fail: Called her “sunshine sparkle” unironically. Got death stare + “Never say that again.” Noted.
Nailing It Down
Friday date night was final exam. Used three keepers:
- “Your hugs fix my Mondays” (when she hugged me at the restaurant)
- “Stealing your hoodies is my hobby” (she caught me wearing her grey one)
- “Best part of my day is your weird alarm sound” (morning inside joke)
She got all blushy. Mission accomplished.
The Final List
My girl-approved winners for describing your person:
- “You handle my chaos” (when they deal with your mess)
- “Human charger” (for that recharge feeling after seeing them)
- “Built-in therapist” (listens to your rants)
- “Personal hype squad” (supports your nonsense dreams)
- “Snort-laugh causer” (makes you laugh ugly)
Key takeaway? Don’t describe generic “beauty” – describe their weirdness. That’s the magic.
