Well, the obvious is that these are all het ships. (c:
The majority are canon or canon-ish.
A lot of these (from the fandoms I know anyway) have this thing where it's two people who spend a lot of time around each other, and start as close friends, and then it develops into something more, but they don't act on it right away and you're like "ARGH WILL YOU OR WON'T YOU."

I think you like couples that have a strong foundation in friendship where the "shipping" is really blurred between strong bonds of friendship and something more overtly romantic. I think you also like ships that are a little bit unusual - not necessarily star-crossed exactly, but unconventional. John/Aeryn and Doctor/Rose are both alien/human pairings, Guy/Marian were basically on opposite sides of a war, and Ned/Chuck can't touch. I think you also like couples that make each other happy and encourage each other to be better people.
