The parameters for #couplegoals keep shifting. Every time you think you’ve got this being-a-significant-other shit nailed down, someone comes along and upstages you with their über-relationship powers.
Like this considerate jerk, spotted by Twitter user Lea Adame in her local nail salon.

According to Adame, the girl getting her nails done was the guy’s boyfriend, the manicurist was the guy’s mum, the two women were meeting for the very first time, and throughout the manicure, the bloke was periodically feeding his GF chicken nuggets.
I MEAN. HOW CAN YOU COMPETE WITH THAT.
It’s rude of him, frankly.
Adame told Buzzfeed, “It was so cute … he was a keeper. What guy will go to a nail salon with a girl, let alone will feed her food while there?“
Too true. If you’ve even had your nails did, you’ll know the unutterable frustration of being snacky (or itchy) mid-manicure. Having an extra set of hands, and some chicky nugs, is every nail-fiend’s dream.
Everyone is rooting for this adorable couple:
DON’T TRY TO COME INTO MY LIFE WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF LOVE 👏🏽 https://t.co/XhdWVTAKjz

Urgh, I can’t even stay mad. May you be forever in love and nuggets, you crazy kids.
Oh, and btw? The receptionist at the nail salon confirmed the whole thing. Love is real, and it comes in a little cardboard box with a variety of dipping sauces.
