How long have you been together?

We’ve been together for three and a half years.

 

Most memorable date?

Angela: We rarely went on dates because we’re poor. The most memorable date for me was our first date when we watched a movie and ate at the Japanese place at the food court in the mall. It was a typical high school date kind of thing. It took us months to actually go on a date alone.

 

What is the best thing about your significant other?

Angela: I would say the best thing about him is his patience. He seems to know when and how to deal with me when I’m sad or angry. Which is a lot. I probably have anger issues. Oh and he’s kind of funny sometimes, I guess.

 

Arvin: I guess the best thing about Angela for me would be that she keeps me grounded. If there’s ever a time that I want to give up on something that’s really important, she kind of just snaps me back into focus and I feel like I have to finish whatever I started. Or if I’m ever feeling really down about something or I feel like I’m not good enough, she’s always there make me feel better.Oh and she can cook really well. Not to be sexist, I just can’t do anything properly in a kitchen besides taste test. So this is very important to me.

 

What is the worst?

Angela: The worst thing about this guy is when he plays League. I think it’s pointless.

 

Arvin: Her temper. Oh my God, please don’t hurt me after you see this.

 

How do you keep your relationship strong?

Angela: We watch A LOT of shows together, like Doctor Who, New Girl, etc. We also like to make food when we have money and time. I think we keep our relationship going because we talk about everything. We don’t let any of our problems just slide by and actually talk about it. We try to fix our problems right away before it gets worse. We were never really the couple who disgustingly made googly eyes at each other or stuff like that in public. He’s not just considered my “significant other,” but my best friend as well. *cue barfing*

 

Arvin: I think something just in general to keep relationships strong is to keep as much of it as you between just the two of you. It’s hard enough to maintain a relationship with one person, so to like post things about your significant other on Facebook or whatever your crazy kids use these days just makes things worse because then you start to bring in a lot of unnecessary people into your relationship.Also, a very important thing I’ve learned through Angela is knowing when you’re wrong and knowing when to stop arguing and just say sorry. Sometimes, staying up until 3 in the morning to play League of Legends with your buddies is not worth the amount of pain that is waiting for you.
