Thanks yet again for the replies to everyone!
newparadigm, I feel you, and I think she does just genuinely enjoy hanging out with me over almost anything else- she's a "people person", and I'm more of a hermit, so go figure.
DayInTheLife, I really liked your post as well and will take it to heart!
Killian, mine doesn't act the same as what you're saying, the "you're SUPPOSED to do this/that because you're my boyfriend" angle. That would drive me nuts- Good luck with however you decide to handle it!
