Whenever I'm talking/making a point and he wants to lead. He is ticked when I won't follow..
My drive to win. Her tick is me :)
I strive to be successful in everything I do. I believe the key to success lies in the details. If you do the little things right you will always get the big ones right too. My girlfriend makes me want to be a better person everyday so that I can try to live up to being the person she deserves. She's easy to please and a gentle soul but I work very hard to make sure she knows how amazing she is.
When he cant stop thinking about work and just be with me. And then when I get in my bubble on the computer, there could be an earthquake and I wouldn't know it...
Is it just me or does tick mean something else nowadays? "Makes you tick" doesn't that mean piss you off? Just asking because some of the answer are the opposite of what is being asked. Well it ticks me off when she says maybe for everything. And she gets ticked off when I call her dude. Lol
When he ignores me to play Xbox all day
What's his gamer tag? Jk lol

People who don't do their job! And people who think the bible should have the power to dictate our laws and be part of our government. Religion has nothing to do with our laws or how we should govern our country. Religion doesn't help you do your job any better than a non religious person.
As for what makes him tick.. his ex wife for one and the kids not listening.

Everyday, I strive to be a better person. It fuels me in a lot of what I do, so that makes me tick, yeah? (Why are our answers always so similar? Haha). I really want to help people and show them that they can always be working to better themselves. I also want to create; that's really important to me.
Being misunderstood ticks me off. And when I assume or cut him off in convo, that ticks him off.
Lmao! A lot of things tick me off tho 😡

Too many mixed answers for this question.
His XBOX 360 and COOKING! ... Me: Gadgets!
Music. Music brings me into a world of my own. No need for words. Writing. I love to write.
He likes feeling appreciated for providing. He also lives to see me happy and enjoying the life we created together.

Art and her for me. Cats and an Indian for her.
Selling me a little short here. >_> I have greater ambitions than cats.

We know how to push each other's buttons, and what gets to the other one more so than us.
When we argue, we argue differently and we know what'll piss each other off to get the other one even more pissed off or break down. We can make one comment that'll get a speechless reaction or have them just not talk to us too.

I can tend to be too detail oriented and kind of a perfectionist with most things. But ultimately the well being and happiness of my husband keeps me striving to do better and keeps me going.
