Well, this is sort of the reverse of the post on the singles board. I find that being taken is awesome too, though I very rarely use that word. I used to have friends with benefits, no serious relationships, but now that I'm in one, I'm very glad. There's just something about waiting for your lover to call, about hearing his voice on the line, about the little things that only the two of you can understand. The best part, for me at least, is knowing that I'm his and he's mine. I'm not the mushy romantic type, or at least, I never was before, but I love it when he does little things like calling me when I'm sick, just to see how I am, or when something great or even bad happens in his life and he shares it with me, or when he gives me little things for no reason. They're usually silly things like tea or coffee or a shirt, but it makes me feel good. On the flip side, I love being able to call him and tell him all of my news and knowing that he really does care. And it's not all about the sex or even the friendship with us. Sometimes, we'll just be lying in one another's arms quietely and I'll feel at peace and so good. There's just us in that one moment, and no matter what happens after it, we had that little slice of time that was ours. I'm so grateful that I found a man who loves me and whom I love. Oh, and he makes me laugh myself silly sometimes! So, do any of you feel the same about your partners? This is open to everyone btw.

i love my husband more than words can say. i met him when i was in college. this was around the time that i was a practicing muslim. i asked him. how did we come to be together that day because u couldn't see my figure under the loose robe and head scarf that i had on?
he goes to say, "love, i really thought u were intreaguing because of the robe. it doesn't hide as much as u think. u had an heir of mystery and innocence about u. that is what attracted me to u. not soley your looks or your personality, but both. and when you showed your beauty to me when we started dating, my heart just melted."

Same here. I too love my husband more than words can say, and it seems I love him even more every day. We're coming up on our 8 year anaversery, and despite the up and down rollercoaster ride we've had it's all been worth it.

kk, well, I've gotta say, lol I have definitely changed my mind! lol, I swear, posting that board on the singles thing totally jinxed me! lol! But anyways, yes, I loved being single, and now, I love being taken, especially with the one I'm with! lol! anyways, yes, I love the little things we do and say together, I love the jokes that only both of us know about! lol, what I mean is that we'll be on the line with other ppl, but then he'll say something, and only I understand what he means! It's those little jokes between us! I never thought I would fall asleep on the line with someone, but I do! I love waking up still holding the phone, and he'll still be there, sometimes asleep with me, and sometimes just listening to me breathe!
He's so sweet to me! He'll call just to say hi, and even when we're in a call on msn, he'll call me on my cell phone just to say he misses me! Damn, I really am so lucky! lol

Hey, I feel the same way. I agree with all of you. I’m really happy being with my boyfriend, and I love him so much. I feel really contented with him, and I don’t want to be with anyone but him. I don’t like the idea of being taken or “falling in love” because everyone would at least know how it is to feel that way or to be in that situation. It’s not like you can just date anyone and feel happy. I know the fact that people can date as many as they want, but they can only feel in a certain way for a few or at least one special person. Hey, there’s nothing wrong being single or taken as long as your being true to yourself as to what you really feel. Me, well, I’ve been with my boyfriend since last year, and I really feel good when were next to each other. I remember the first time we met, my first impression of him was all right, but since then we’ve been close. Before I only thought of him as my jolly friend, but when we started going out, my feelings for him changed. We just have this chemistry, we can joke around, laugh, and really be crazy when were together, but we can also be serious; I can talk to him about anything. I see him in multiple levels as my boyfriend and as my best friend. I admire him so much; his dedication and hard work motivates me to work harder. I really feel comfortable confiding with him about everything that’s been going on with me. I can really tell that he listens to me because he always reminds me of what we’ve talked about the following day. Even though we only spent a few times together, I feel like I know him more than I know anybody else. I can easily tell if he is about to hug me or kiss me just by looking at his body language. Yeah, I can read his expressions; I just know when he is happy or sad. Sometimes, I even wish I could read his mind that would really be awesome. I really trust him with lots of things. What drew me closer to him is his respect for me. I really feel great because the feeling is mutual between us. I feel secure when I’m in his arms. Yeah, it’s all about the little things and knowing that you both appreciate each other.

I'm not one for friends with benefits since for me personally, being intimate with someone just for the physical gratification is sickening and sad. Anyway, I enjoy being taken; and yes, it's not easy to explain and I'm probably not using the correct terminology and words but, it feels good to know that she really cares for me, that my opinion matters and that when she says my name, well, that my name is safe in her mouth. I have many friends and some I trust to a certain degree whilst I would trust others with other things but, she really makes me feel safe; makes me feel that it's ok to be myself. No pretence, no deceiving, no need to impress her or withhold thoughts. It's amazing, how things that would ordinarily look bad seems not so bad anymore, just because of her being in my life.
She showed me that life's worthwhile and that I'm not such a bad person, afterall.
Thank you.
And just remember, for those that are looking for that special someone, the virtue of love isnt finding the perfect person, but by loving the imperfect person perfectly.
