These two are so in love but so unromantic. Love doesn't have to be pulling chairs out, buying gifts and flowers and being so verbal about how in love you are with your significant other. Its Ben bringing Cristine tea and doing videos with her and being patient with each other. Like, this is what I want bc I'm not that romantic.
Inayah Cee this this this!!!!! This is me!!!! I’m not a verbal person about my love or very affectionate and that’s just me. I will truly love the person I love I just don’t show it in a romantic way.
I've never read something that i understand and connect to more than this comment. Woah. This is me! I am not affection and I've always thought that I was too weird compared to persons I know whether they're single or in relationships.
@@thewickedwitchofthewestindies Affection is good and definitely needed in any relationship, hugs, kisses and all of that. But the so called "romantic gestures" are really just made up social constructs. Two people can be madly in love and the only two people that really matter in knowing that, are those two people.
I know, the first time that I saw her I immediately thought, she's really gorgeous, plus you add her personality, and everything together makes her such a beautiful person in general
I think it’s good that not all women spend tons of time focusing on their looks. I wish my family hadn’t been so “looks” focused if that makes sense. There’s more to a person than how they look 😇
'I know assholes and that is not you.' That is actually very nice thing to say to someone. And it's soo adorable when both of them gets flustered, both thinking how 'uncool' they were
I cannot get over these two. Can someone find a better term than “couple goals” so I can use that? Because they really are. They are so cute and you can really see how they’ve grown together and know each other incredibly well. Their level of comfort is enviable, I hope to have a relationship like that someday too
At the beginning of the video: People are always trying to tell how they met as if it was a fairytale, but let‘s not do this. The video: a (modern, unromantic) fairytale lovestory
As someone who lives in Ottawa it’s really weird hearing them talk about Carleton, the Elgin st diner, etc, and think it’s completely plausible that I could just run in to them on the street
I'm from Ottawa and I actually saw Christine walking in the city once but it was raining and she seemed in a hurry so I didn't say anything lol. I like to think they make Ottawa a bit less dull :P
I used to work at the Rideau Centre, and I saw these two walking around wearing sweatpants, and then they went into David’s Tea. It was very on brand lol.
The best thing you can do is work on yourself and fill your world space with people who genuinely care about and support you. You'll find your person, and believe me, you aren't the only person who's had to sift through the bad ones first. Like Cristine said, she's met assholes.
Ben: I must have been super obnox- Cristine: YES hahahahahahaha I totally believe Ben tho, because even though Cristine is more into having a comfortable style now, she is still gorgeous!!! I can imagine what she looked like when she was into partying and getting dolled up😂
CF Rc12 Right?? Even in her "mandatory narcissistic montage" where she tries to look crazy and over exaggerate, she lowkey looks insanely beautiful 😂😂 even if it wasn't her original intention lol
Completely agree with Ben! It’s all about timing! My fiancé and I have known each other for years. He’s my cousins best friend so we hung out a bunch in high school and what not. I always thought he was super attractive and very smart and funny but something didn’t click. He started dating someone and I started dating someone and we lost touch. Fast forward 5 years of casual “happy birthdays” on Facebook. He became an architect and got a job with the company that my parents hired to remodel their house. It was merely a coincidence that my parents hired that specific company and that his boss sent him to my parents house on a day that I just happen to be there. And now it’s been 4 years since we’ve been together and honestly we laugh about how much we wanted to be with each other when we were growing up but it just never happened. We joke about what would have happened if we had gotten together that early but we both had a lot of growing up to do and I really don’t think we would be together now if we had gotten together back then.
I’m in the exact same predicament with my current boyfriend. I’ve known my bf for several years, we worked at the same company. A few years later he ended up quitting and during that time I was not ready for that, I had a lot of growing up to do. We’ve recently reconnected and are now in a serious long term relationship. It’s all about timing!!
Me and my boyfriend met in the last year of high school... i thought he was cute, volunteer on red cross, sea rescuer (quite the curriculum!). I wasn't looking for a relationship, to focus on entering nursing school... Apparently he was really into me, was asking to all my friends how to talk to me, and what i liked... We had a lot in common... were kind of the goof balls of class... His attitudes and actions trying to please me were horrible... I lowkey started hating him... When he stop looking like a fool, and started being himself I feel hard... been dating since that... trully in love with him, husband material for sure!!!
they both have the biggest heart eyes throughout this entire video. I love these podcasts because it's not RUclips personalities, per se, it's them as they would be normally
10:31 this sounds like exactly why you SHOULD believe in fate haha!! you and christine met at exactly the right time for a relationship to blossom for your two. like you said, if you met 5 years earlier, it wouldnt have worked out. i think fate kept you from meeting each other during those years because you were meant to be together and that was made possible because you met when you did :))
Never thought I’d meet my Ben, but I have my own Ben ( he goes by Benny) now and if I didn’t have him, I’d feel very single right now watching you guys, but your love reminds me how wonderful my Ben is, too, and how real love is supposed to be 💕
I like that you don't really remember the exact date....because me and my spouse don't remember when we exactly got together. We also don't remember the exact date he proposed, but he did that out of some weird thought of "this is what I'm supposed to do" that was roughly 10 years ago. I personally don't want to get married and he doesn't want to if I wont change my name, which I wouldn't do. Been together roughly 12 years and we only know that because we know it was about 2 years in when I got pregnant and that's when he felt he needed to propose. But no "anniversary" and i think it is great. No pressure to "celebrate" or measure our affection to each other.
i love them. been watching sonce i was 8/9 and i never realised how amazing their relationship was and they are so perfect for eacjother. i cried. i love u both so much
7:47 I think that is so beautiful. I also changed for the better for my husband, and when you meet someone so wonderful who lifts you up, and you feel loved and wanna be a better you, that's an amazing feeling. And how you all went from dating to being around another all the time, that's love
mom and dad are flirting omfg 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥺🥺🥺🥺 and when cris said something about her beauty and how she doesnt see it, it made me sad because shes 30 and she has better skin than me.
I'm mad at how much I relate to that going to bed at 8 AM thing 😂 Also this is really sweet and gives me hope. Like meeting someone you're really into at a not so great time in your life or someone who lives an opposite lifestyle, but you just like each other so much you make it work. And then you just grow and mature and get beautifully comfortable together. I'm at a weird time romantically rn, but I hope to have something like this eventually. This gives me hope.
When they say they were gonna be honest and didn’t want to make the first time they met seem like a fairy tail... honest but still just as sweet as a weird adult fairytale🥰🥰🥰 Love you mom and dad!!!
LOL brings back memories! I too spent many hours at my favorite 24-hour dinner while in Grad School. I stayed so long one time, that their PoS system crashed because my check had been left open across so many shift changes. 😆
I think it's because they're married in every way except formally! Ben even said that they would have been married years ago if that label was important to them
This reminds me of my boyfriend and I’s “how we met” story except we’re both a lot younger (I’m 20 and he’s 19). It’s not love at first sight but wanting to get to know each other and it’s just nice to watch mom and dad love on each other 🥺
Mom and Dad are flirting its adorable
🤣🤣
You mean Cris and Ben
@@prachiverma2605 They are nicknamed Mom and Dad for their followers/subscribers 🤣. It's cute lol

@@inayahcee3131 I just realized I said I am not affection lol I meant romantic😭🤦🏽♀️ and I agree with your reply.
"No one actually believes that." It really makes me sad that Cristine can't see how stunningly beautiful she is.
I think its more on the fact that Cristine in the present is soooo different from cristine in college and in Grad school.
ik shes really pretty and yet thinks that like cristine no, ur gorgeous
I know, the first time that I saw her I immediately thought, she's really gorgeous, plus you add her personality, and everything together makes her such a beautiful person in general
Ikr, she’s so pretty and such a good role model 🥺
I think it’s good that not all women spend tons of time focusing on their looks. I wish my family hadn’t been so “looks” focused if that makes sense. There’s more to a person than how they look 😇
the way Ben thoughts that Cristine was hot on FB profile was so cute :3
like check
So clear that Beyyn fancies Cristine like mad! It's so sweet!
'I know assholes and that is not you.' That is actually very nice thing to say to someone. And it's soo adorable when both of them gets flustered, both thinking how 'uncool' they were
Damn you both aged so well -Cristine looks the exact same (lol) and Ben kinda grew into his look
Ben had a glow up❤️
That’s so true ahaha
Haha I was just thinking the same thing
Cristine was blonde for a long time tho
Ben has such a good voice for podcasting!!!
"Menchie makes me have low self esteem because she's so beautiful." - Cristine 2020
I love how Ben went from a super serious and reserved person to full aries energy in Cristine's channel and super talkative dad in the podcast
Their pronunciation is so clear. I love that the auto-generated captions is so accurate.
"now that's just your low self-esteem talking" 🥺💞
wow I've never felt so single
Yeah, me too :(
And lonely. Don't forget lonely
Preach 😫
Felt
Same... and I have a boyfriend! How is that possible?!
ben talking about cristine is like how ned talks about Ariel
Kyra Lim OMG YES SO TRUE☺️😊☺️😊
Love the try guys so much
Haha yrue
"My wife!" -Ned
@@suckerforjayke thats literally the phrase ned says the most
Lol yass
Ben radiates major chidi energy from the good place!
I can see Cristine being an Eleanor 😂
@@isabelaabracosa9275 but Eleanor after her character development
OMG yaaaas
Ben's a chilled-out Chidi... Maybe Chidi on weed?
Yessss

Tam Bek ben and cristine and jenna marbles and julien solomita are both great examples of this. non-superficial love on the internet is rare!!

Yeah. I'm the same age as them, but I went to UOttawa. There was probably overlap at some point in some things
I'm from Ottawa and I actually saw Christine walking in the city once but it was raining and she seemed in a hurry so I didn't say anything lol. I like to think they make Ottawa a bit less dull :P

Still a high schooler in Ottawa. Not sure about university yet, but if I decided to stay in Ottawa, not sure if I should go to UOttawa or Carleton.
@@redred7702 as someone who went to uOttawa, I recommend Carleton lol.
Guys, find a guy like Ben who changes his sleeping pattern for you 😂😍
I’m a woman who found another woman that I changed my sleeping pattern for 😂
I changed my sleeping pattern for my boyfriend 😂😂
Wait, if Zyler was with you before Ben, then how old is Zyler even?? 🤔
He's 11, just as old as Mr Marbles 🤓
@-FriesChip- Jenna Marbles dog, Marbles
@-FriesChip- Jenna Marbles ? The RUclipsr ?
@-FriesChip- she's great, well worth watching 😄
Sowebe 12
Hearing Ben talk about Cristine is so cute
Omg thanks for the likes I’ve never gotten this many likes on a comment 😂
Yea it is 😊
Yes, they truly are in love
Cristine with no H
True
That's so true
Ultimate mum and dad origin story 😭😭🥺🥺
This awkward mom and dad flirting,,,, i love them but the third wheeling is so strong through the screen oml
“I wasn’t happy in grad school.” Me too, Ben. Me too. Hated that place.
Same, for personal reasons, but I had to drop out 😓
SAME. I loved academia but I was miserable in grad school. I wish I had taken time to get my mental health together before going.
Ive watched this so many times. hearing ben talk about cristine makes me believe im just attracting and attracted to douchebags
You will find your person!
Same girl, same
Oof I feel this. I talked to my therapist and apparently I’m attracted to people who are “emotionally unavailable” 🙃.
The best thing you can do is work on yourself and fill your world space with people who genuinely care about and support you. You'll find your person, and believe me, you aren't the only person who's had to sift through the bad ones first. Like Cristine said, she's met assholes.
Ben: I must have been super obnox-
Cristine: YES
hahahahahahaha
I totally believe Ben tho, because even though Cristine is more into having a comfortable style now, she is still gorgeous!!! I can imagine what she looked like when she was into partying and getting dolled up😂
She was really cute! I saw the picture of her partying on twitter, she’s wearing a hot pink holo tube dress!
CF Rc12 Right?? Even in her "mandatory narcissistic montage" where she tries to look crazy and over exaggerate, she lowkey looks insanely beautiful 😂😂 even if it wasn't her original intention lol
@@daria5846 Ikr? She's so pretty! Im happy that Ben tries to tell her that she's always been pretty.
THIS IS SO ADORABLE IM SMILING LIKE SUCH A DORK
Me : Oh their voices made me feel so relax.
Suddenly, Cristine decided to killed headphone users by yelling BEYYNNNN

Only the OG Simplynailogical fans watch this
i just started watching cristine this year. and i’m watching this video
I was there when she was still doing nail art tutorials good old times
i would say devoted, because you don’t have to be an OG to enjoy all her content.
I never watched her before this year. I just think she and Ben are so cute!
That’s not true
I love how cristine is wearing rob’s “i died” merch 😭😭😭
Ben is honestly the cutest sweetest hooman ever 🥺
omg this must be the cutest video on youtube. the chemistry is like, popping off the screen.
the way they’re so smiley talking about eachother is so cute
they both have the biggest heart eyes throughout this entire video. I love these podcasts because it's not RUclips personalities, per se, it's them as they would be normally
they’re actually being sweet to eachother :’)
Y'all are the cutest😭❤'that's a pretty girl'✨✨✨✨
I love the heart eyes they give each other during this highlight.
if I don't have my own ben come and fall in love with me then I DONT WANT IT
*momentary silence*
*laughs at same time*
Ben:anyways-
Me: Yeah, They’re perfect
Bro the way they look at each other 😭
Listening to them both is very calming and keeps me very sane, especially Bens voice it’s so calm. They both has a lot in common too.

I want love like this. It’ll happen one day.... lol
it happened to them when they were in their mid twenties soooo there’s plenty of time. I assure you its gonna come...one day
I admire you both and your relationship so much!!!!! This video gave me such a great feeling thank you for this gift
Ben: *mockingly* it was love at first sight!
Me: like Cristen would ever say that!🤣

This is so cute!! I’m so happy y’all talked about this!!! :3
i love your content and podcast , as it is so creative and so uniquely you ❤
They say is not romantic and fluffy and stuff but there's something so comforting in the normality that made it nice and romantic for me
I always thought Ben was a Statistics grad students. Never thought he was also a criminology student.
This is so sweet!!
my minor is in sociology so this is triggering some deep thoughts lol.
Tell me more 😯

Wow mom and dad. Y’all are just goals.
You guys are adorable ❤️
Why is this so cute? I honestly think of them as goals.
Them talking about their love story reminds me so much of how my parents talk about how they met.
You guys are just the cutest 💜💜💜💜
I live in Ottawa and Elgin street diner is the best!
Also this story was super fun to hear 😁
These little clips are so nice.
I'm very late tot the game but you two are such couple goals. Adorable
