I love my girlfriend very much, and here's one example why:
We're sitting in a cafeteria, the tables aren't the cleanest in the world, and I procure an apple.
We're conversing, I roll the apple around on the table absent-mindedly, pick it up, and slice off a piece. We sit and talk, munching on the apple as I cut slices off.
One slice slips off the knife and smacks onto the table. I shoot it a dirty look, ignore it, and continue cutting while explaining some topic.
Girlfriend interjects and makes this comment:
"you're not picking up that piece because you're avoiding germs,"
(this was true)
"and yet, you rolled that apple on the table before slicing off a piece and sticking it in your mouth."
I have a logical response, of course, and I explain that the apple has a waxy skin that inhibits germ collection, but the juice from the slice creates a super easy pathway for bacteria to glide off the table and onto it.
The reason for the story is this: it clearly illustrates one of her qualities that attracted me in the beginning - her sharp and unusual mind.
I just find the way she reasons to be phenomenal.
I love this girl.
