What is "squishy" you may ask? It's a word that my significant other had to add to his lexicon in order to understand certain aspects of me. It's a word that was passed to me from my mother, it basically means: extra comfy. Used in a sentence:

"oh man that was  a fun party, I can't wait to go home and get squishy and watch tv with some popcorn!" 

In the end, it's a pretty common word used in a slightly unique way that both me and my boyfriend can understand. Word choices, however, are the easiest things one must adapt to when getting to know your significant other. More complex things that one must adapt to is habits, fears, values, and motivators. This is not an opinion-frought post about asserting yourself in the relationship (that's for more advanced users). Rather, this is a simple guide to getting to know your partner so you can get to a deeper level of understanding at the outset, and build a relationship that lasts.
