3) He is reliable

He never lets you down and he never cancels plans. You always know you can rely on him.

14) He's always sees your side of an argument

If you get in a fight with your parents or your friends, he always is on your side no matter what. Even if it is blatantly obvious you're in the wrong, he makes you feel like you're not crazy for being angry.

15) You are always his plus one

No matter where he may be going - the cinema, a family gathering, a wedding - you are always his plus one. He wants to show you off.

16) He surprises you

It doesn't have to be all the time but even something as small as a surprise bar of chocolate will make you love your man more. A bigger surprise may make you faint.
