Awesomeness issues forth from your fingertips, yet again. I love this. 

I think the fundamental difference between the "roses and chocolate" romance and the "make fun of Star Wars together" kind of romance is simply friendship. Girls who demand the former want a lover for life (something that is impossible for 99.9% of anybody to maintain for forever). Girls who want the latter want a best friend for life. 

Which is why I love my husband so much! We do everything together that a gal would normally do with her "bff". We go to the mall to people watch. We go out for drinks at night and talk about the actors/actresses we find to be super hot. We discuss the pros and cons of Double Stuff vs. Regular Oreos. I tell him when my husband is being annoying ( ;D) and he consoles me. 

I love getting flowers and chocolates. I adore when my husband writes me hand-written letters. But neither of those things make up the essence of our relationship. Because we are best friends long before we are lovers. 

Amazing post. You are awesome.
