(My boyfriend and I are lying in bed. We start kissing. Suddenly, he pulls away.)

Him: “I really like X-wings!”

Me: *pause* “Seriously?!”

Him: “Yeah, they’re just so awesome!”

(I could have hit him, but I was too busy laughing.)

(The guy I’m seeing and I are sitting at a table in a bar with some friends. We’re watching people on the dance-floor and someone makes a joke about how none of them can dance.)

Me: “I can’t dance!”

(I start doing a ridiculous dance at the table.)

Him: “That has to be one of the least sexy things you’ve ever done.”

Me: “Really? What are the top five least sexy things I’ve done?”

Him: “That was all five of them!”

Boyfriend: “We need to take a picture together.”

Me: “Why?”

Boyfriend: “My friends don’t think you exist.”

(I roll over and hug my partner.)

Me: “I love you, babe.”

Partner: *completely asleep, smiling* “Mmhmm. The equivalence of two point five and a half hamburgers!”

(I laugh hysterically while trying not to wake him up.)

(I’ve just come home from getting my hair done at the hairdressers.)

Him: *eyeballing my suspiciously* “You look different.”

Me: “Mmm-hmm?”

(I wait for him to mention the new hair colour.)

Him: “Yeah. You look…beautiful?”
