Somebody who tells you that there's nothing sexier than your elastic waistband sweatpants. Because at the end of the day, that's the dream.

When it comes to #RelationshipGoals, a lot of people think about unattainable grand gestures and things that don’t seem realistic. You see photos on Instagram of girls coming home to thousands of red roses, or a surprise vacation around the world, but to us — that isn’t our definition of what it means to be in a relationship that truly inspires us. So, here are 33 relationship goals that we hope to experience one day when we find someone who loves us the way we have always dreamed of being loved.

1. Teaching him how to paint your nails so you don’t have to leave bed to get a pedicure. Mainly just never leaving bed for anything.

2. Showering together so you can wash all your favorite parts of each other.

3. Spending an entire road trip cramped in the back of someone’s car, and not caring because you get to be together.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
