Like your girl cause she is super organized and good with money? Well, will it still be cute if she makes you keep track of every penny you spend and puts it in a spreadsheet (down to the 50 cents you spent on a Coke at work. I know someone who does that.) Someone told me to magnify my then boyfriend's best qualities by 1o and see if they are still cute. Then magnify the stuff that irritates the heck out of me by 10 and see if that would be o.k. too If you can deal with the good and the bad.
