She isn't 100% likable, as she
shouldn't be- she is a girl who's been given everything in life. She is
stubborn. She is different. Of course she's going to be arrogant-at times! She
misuses her potential. She forces the unforcable. She isn't hard. She isn't a
gelato either. Nobody other than he, ever says no to her. Nobody other than he,
understands her better.
He’s protective without being
possessive. He manages to be concerned about her welfare without acting like a
dad about it. He offers advice without being controlling. He is never a jerk to
her. He sees through phonies. He's clever & brainsmart. His intuition works
well.
He is friends with people who are considered lower class (than he is) and
upper class - all alike. He values humility, kindness and being a good person. He’s
a gentleman to all ladies, not just the ones with money. He's chivalrous. He
never says or does anything he hasn’t thought through. He’s perceptive. He has
both intelligence and common sense. Most importantly, he does what he loves to do - Isn't that awesome?

They
know each other's virtues, but he also knows her flaws. They know
what it's like to fight with each other, as they have had many a quarrel. They
already know that they are compatible because they have been friends for so
long.
He constantly chides her for being headstrong. She has known him
for years. She knows exactly who
he is. He tells her exactly how he feels about her behavior, and exactly how he
feels about her, all the time. He is straightforward with her.
He constantly tries to give her good advice, mostly unheeded. He warns her away from unnecesary
activities, but she doesn't listen. He ends up, obviously, being right. He
warns her about phonies (this is partly out of jealousy, but he is ultimately
right), and he also tries to comfort her each time she messes up something, it's because he cares
about her development as a person and he wants her to be the best possible version
of herself. But he also knows that at her core, She is a good person (despite
how annoying she is to people who don't understand her) and that she almost
needs him to help bring out the best in her (as well-matched couples tend to
do).
Sometimes
it's easy to underestimate how important liking someone's family is (or at
least pretending you do at the beginning). Certainly, it's not essential. We
don't get to choose our families. For her, they're the best. They're her family. He expresses only the utmost respect for
her father and they both are good friends too.
Do similar
people make a good couple? No.
In
case they are very similar. They are both proud, obstinate, stubborn. They both
seem willing to budge momentarily, but will that really hold out in the long
run? Who is going to be the one to compromise during fights?
Without
such similarities these both are great together. Though their fights get
heated, one of them always comes around in the end. By the end of the story, she
has learned to not be so stubborn, and to take some of his well-given advice.
He has brought her down from the pedestal she has placed herself on, and she
has learned that it is possible, sometimes, that she is wrong about things.
They have an open, trusting relationship, and communicate well. They are not
afraid to speak their minds to each other. They are a match well made.
