100 Funny Reasons why I Love You
Some love languages sound like normal conversation. Some sound like this list.
The funniest reasons to love someone are the ones that are deeply specific, completely unromantic, and yet somehow more honest than any greeting card. If you love someone for their snack choices, their very particular opinions about parking, or their inability to throw away a takeout container “just in case,” this list is for you.
Anyone can say “I love you for your kindness.” Fewer people will say “I love you because you always order extra sauce and you always share it.” That one means more.
Send this list, read it out loud, or use it to identify exactly how deeply you have been paying attention to someone.
