I absolutely love The Big Bang Theory because not only is it an interesting show about “different” people but also because I headcanon Sheldon as an aroace character and I love seeing the relationships he forms especially the one with Amy (which for me has the strongest qpr vibes). So I wanted to share my favorite parts about their qpr:
they respect each other’s boundaries
they move at a pace that’s comfortable for both of them
they discuss and compromise on physical activities
they were friends at first and then they decided to change the character of the relationship without changing its characteristics – they called each other girlfriend and boyfriend which was the main change, they also decided to go on dates (during which they were doing the same things as before)
they developed love for each other over time
even when doing something others would describe as romantic they didn’t characterize it as romantic
they didn’t act romantic (even Leonard described their hand holding as not romantic)
their relationship was based on mutual respect, similar interests and understanding of each other’s need for space
