Boyfriend Secretly Learning Guitar Songs She Mentions Liking
The Original Post
My(27f) boyfriend(21m) has a secret that he doesn’t think I know about, but I do. He plays guitar and every time I mention liking a song, he secretly learns it. It happens every time. I mention liking a song then around 3 weeks later he says “check this out” and plays the song for me. The first time started early in our relationship. We had only been dating 6 months at the time and we were driving. Dance the Night Away by Van Halen came on the radio and I mentioned liking it. Then 3 weeks later, after another date, he invited me in and showed me that he could play it. It was so sweet. It actually sounded good. He said he was learning the song anyway and just happened to remember I liked it. It happened again with Fly by Night by Rush, then again with Oh Pretty Woman by Van Halen then again with the Ocean by Led Zeppelin and that’s when I realized it wasn’t a coincidence, he was learning that I liked the songs then actually going and learning them because I like them. He still thinks his excuse works and I think it’s so cute plus he sounds so good.
