Like when you meant to say “You were sweet today thank you” but for some reason decided to add “Most of the time you’re just annoying.” I, I mean, WE get the meaning behind the word salad, and honestly, it’s adorable.

When you’re in that legendary “I’m hungry but I don’t know what I want and everything you suggest is wrong” state? To our seemingly primitive brains, watching you reject seventeen restaurant suggestions while getting progressively hangrier is somehow both terrifying and sweet.

And when you’re having a meltdown because you-know-who texted that passive-aggressive comment in the group chat that was definitely about that thing from three months ago that everyone else has forgotten about except you, we’re genuinely invested in the drama. It just won’t stop us from staring into the void like we’re contemplating the meaning of socks.

31 Memes from Your Boyfriend That Prove His 'Loading Face' Is Actually Just His Love Language
Ladies, let's address the vacant-eyed elephant in the room: we modern-day boyfriends have the ability to achieve a meditative state that would make Buddhist monks jealous, especially when you're telling us something important. You know, that through-the-horizon stare that suggests our soul has temporarily left our body to grab a drink.
Behind that expression, which is somewhere between loading screen and a 'You shut down your computer because of a problem' pop-up. There's actually some neural activity going on upstairs.
Now I know we respond to your detailed stories with a slick combination of grunts and uh-huhs and throw the occasional wow that could either mean I'm listening or I'm thinking about cheese, into the mix.
But I promise, most of us, some of the time, are paying attention. Our faces might suggest we're contemplating the aerodynamics of a potato but we're honestly quite invested.
We collect these little moments like a hamster hoarding treats. The way you try to explain something serious but accidentally say something completely different, then get agitated trying to backtrack? Precious.
So scroll through these 31 embodiments of the girlfriend spirit while you're reevaluating the deep, newly found meanings of your guy's grunts and groans.
