things cute boys
do;
1. Having a perfectly subtle scent of cologne/aftershave that
doesn’t overpower but leaves you with that “boy
smell” that you just want to get high off of the rest of
the day. (God forbid they let you borrow some article of
clothing, in which case you might get some sort of lung infection
from vigorously inhaling the fibers through your nose.)
2. Lingering on a hug for just a moment too long.
3. Looking you directly in the eyes when they talk to you, with
perhaps the occasional glance down to your lips while
you’re talking to them.
4. Licking their lips gently when they’re in the middle of
a sentence, and allowing themselves to take that pause in the
sentence and let everyone linger on their words.
5. Being really charming and kind with servers/bartenders while
at restaurants, and being at once deferential to their knowledge
and sure about what he likes. (This includes ordering for the
both of you if you’ve already told him what you want.)
6. Leaving nice tips. (But giving you way more than just the tip,
HEY-0.) (I’m sorry, Grandma.) (Please don’t be
reading this.)
7. Saying your name unexpectedly at the end of a sentence,
especially in that lower register where you can tell
they’re being more serious than usual.
8. Sighing in a way that you totally imagine sounds the same way
as when they’re doing it.
9. When found in a tough situation, being able to handle
everything completely and never showing a glimmer of panic or
desperation, and even going so far as to tell you
“don’t worry about it,” because they have it
under control.
10. Giving you that sly smile when you make a joke, the one that
says, “You’re crazy, but I like that about
you.”
11. When they are effortlessly good with kids, and kids feel
really comfortable around them in a way they usually don’t
with grown-ups. (This goes double for little girls in floofy
dresses. Guys who are able to have a tea party with a little tiny
girl and get totally into it without worrying about looking
“girly” are essentially kryptonite for the
ovaries.)
12. Laughing really hard at things with you, the kind where you
basically start crying/get a tummy ache because you’re so
completely un-self-conscious.
13. Speaking in a really hushed tone when they’re talking
about something serious, one that makes you come closer to them
while they’re telling you so that you don’t miss a
word.
14. Dancing with you, even if they’re terrible at it,
because they’re there to have fun and they’re not
concerned with how they look over something as silly and fun as
dancing.
15. When they touch you almost unconsciously, to either reassure
you or to get your attention, and are both firm and soft in their
manner at the same time, giving you the “I respect you
immensely, but yet know what I want” feeling.
16. Complimenting you unexpectedly on something
sincere-yet-specific (and in a way that lets you know they
don’t expect anything out of it).
17. Remembering little things that you talked about a while ago,
and following up on them because he’s actually curious
about it. You can get so used to people being self-serving or
oblivious that when someone pays attention, it can feel weird
— but you should expect nothing less than people who care
as much as you do. After all, if you really think about it, there
is nothing hotter than feeling like someone sees you as a human
being.
