For an introvert dating an extrovert, love often thrives in the quietest corners of a quiet room.

At a lively Fourth of July party, a shy young man found a moment of unexpected sweetness in the arms of someone who truly saw him exactly for who he was.

Keep reading for this wholesome confession.

My girlfriend just always makes my day

So I’m generally a shy and quiet person, while she’s a lot more cheery and outgoing.

So when he was feeling out of his element, his girlfriend found a wholesome way to make him feel more at home.

We were at her friend’s 4th of July party, which I mainly went to for her. I don’t know too many of the people there, and I generally don’t do well at parties.

I was sitting out back when she snuck up behind me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders and said, “What’s a handsome guy like you doing all alone?”

He goes on about just how much this meant to him.

It just melted my heart.

I don’t know how everything she does has this effect on me, but she’s just so sweet and thoughtful all the time, and I love her so much.

I know this is cheesy, but I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Her warmth turned an ordinary evening into something unexpectedly wholesome.

Redditors are sure to enjoy this one.

It’s important to stay in love with your partner, even if you’ve been together a long time.
