It's kind of representative of an entire personality. He also returns library books on time and is kind to his family and pays cash for everything. It's quite darling.

I do all those things. Makes me wonder what other little habits I have that I think of as simply "behaving correctly" that some woman might find a turn-on. Stopping and looking at every stop sign? Turning on my turn signal before I change lanes rather than while I change lanes? Returning my own grocery cart instead of leaving it out? Waiting patiently if the person ahead of me in the checkout line is taking a while instead of shouting, "HEY, MOVE IT ALONG"?

Verily, first you have to get someone completely smitten with you. *Then* they will find everything that you do completely and utterly cute.

*knowing nod*

*laugh* Yes, actually that's cute, especially when you combine it with snarky. The snark provides the Funny while the kindness means you can still be trusted.

*slaps forehead* What bloody good does that do? If I could do that, then I wouldn't even be worrying about it!

The trick is to not worry about it.

I think it's really cute when I go on a date with someone who has business cards.

I usually keep a business card or two. Or three.

I am weird.

I'll be darned. I'd have never have thought of that as a particular selling point.
I think pretty much everything about a guy driving is cute. Especially when they are really serious or get mad and swear at people.

I am also weird.

Kat, I see a distinction between a person that makes snap decisions without consulting those close to them and one that solicits advice, weighs the options and then acts decisevely. The former falls under my definition of a jerk and the latter, more likely, would fit my defintion of a nice guy. Perhaps I should have included the phrase, "...regardless of who may be hurt or what moral boundaries might be crossed"

Thanks AJ, I've been in lurker mode for months. I'm not sure I can pinpoint the reason for my silence, although I was swamped with work through the fall. How about we call it non-specific posting malaise?

There's a lot of that going around.
