Things someone has done that suddenly made you weirdly attracted to them

[Carryonrunning]

I got to work this morning and I have a bit of equipment that I use that I always struggle setting up.

I turned up a bit early and put it on the table ready to set up. A guy I work with who honestly I have never really even liked as a person and am DEFINITELY not remotely
physically attracted to, picked it up off the table while we were all chatting before our shift, and wordlessly constructed it for me.

For a minute I thought he thought it was his and was very confused, but he handed it to me once done.

I cannot stress how much I am not attracted to this man but it was weirdly hot.

Please share your versions of this so I know I’m not a complete weirdo!

He picked up an electric guitar and played something incredible for twenty seconds. Now I know why groupies get unhinged.

Lovely...

I mean... Experts... someone who is expert at something... and brings the enthusiasm...

A man who can dance and actively wants to dance with you… pulling you close, swings you round with his hand controls the movements . Enjoys the actual dance and movement.. with sleeves rolled up and eyes on you….get me a room

This was a long time ago but I went to an adults learning class and the teacher (who is never had any interest in) wore a jumper with sleeves that were too long. The way his sleeves went over half his hands like a 1990’s grunge heart throb totally did it for me.

I once chatted to a woman at a company do who told me she'd always had a massive crush on the CEO since she saw him hailing a taxi and his shirt sleeve stuck out slightly from under his jacket sleeve and it was impossibly hot

Sorry to lower the tone but I totally agree about that vibe of capability and calmly taking charge being hot, and you know who REALLY has loads of that - Captain Barnacles. When he says "Let's do this!" <swoon>

😍 one of my most favourite videos.
As you say the effort, confidence, skill, pure enjoyment, nit concerned, made me love him soo much.

I can't hear the song without thinking of him!

That's the thing that attracted me the most about my DH when we met 😚 It's a sadly undervalued quality.

I love the quiet, calm and unapologetic confidence in a man 👌 Also yes: rolled up sleeves and nice forearms 🙌

You’ve summed it up so well! Time for another re-watch 🤣🧐🥵

Just doing the dishes without me noticing. Absolutely love it.

Oh my God that was hot! amazing

But is catching a massive fish not a competence?

My husband picked up the book, took a quick look and wrote fluent computer code in the same way I write English. It was heaven to watch.

I picked up a friend's paper and he had done the Sudoku without making notes. I found that very attractive. Maybe because I couldn't do that.

He was driving his tractor behind the looney on the road that made my horse bolt. The ironic thing is he doesn’t like horses and has whined endlessly that “they churn up perfectly good fields” 😂😂. Funnily enough, they now have 4 fields, I still can’t work out if he loves his fields more than them.

Oh another, someone speaking in a language other than their mother tongue really fluently. Preferably Italian, but I'll accept Spanish or French

Would be if most freshwater fish didn't taste of mud.

@FancyAnxiety He played the lead role in Billy Elliot 2008/10. Brilliant dancer.

My DP drives an HGV… I could watch him drive aaalllllll day long! Hes just so good at it - and the weird thing is, he doesn’t realise that he’s so good at it!

He seems to find it easy, can reverse it on a sixpence, parks it perfectly etc, and all without any fuss… When I go with him, I just sit and watch him.

He hates DIY, gardening, all the usual house jobs, yet put him in a 44 ton wagon, and he’s happy.
I also get to watch his forearms flexing while he drives…😉

My DP is a solid, calm, capable, kind man and one of my favourite things is watching my friends develop little crushes on him. I think they all have one!

He’s not bad looking at all but he’s not immediately phwoar however after spending a little bit of time with him, he will do something kind and/or capable and I just watch them melt…

Fellow narcissist here, in that case!

Whenever my DH meets a dog when we're out and about he stops to greet it and says 'Hiya Woofa'. A daft joke, a gentleness and a kindness to animals. He's great with babies too and kids love him. He's happy to sit there with his great niece listening patiently to her chattering nonsense whilst she puts make up on him 😂

I think that's it. He always has time for others. Always gets me in the feels just watching him relaxed and engaging. Plus he's a great cook and general all round competence and thoughtfulness.

Nah, too many examples of construction workers sexually harassing women walking past sites. A tool belt doesn't exactly make up for it (or maybe it does for some women, who knows).

🤣 never heard that one before but I love it! My DH with all his pockets and orange hi Vis 🥰

What's SIPP? Google comes up with Survey of Income and Program Participation...?

Self-Invested Personal Pension

Well mine specifically doesn't work anywhere near the public so he's exempt from that stereotype.

I don't live with DP. I bought something useful on FB marketplace a week ago. It is useful but it had been set up wrong. Last night I bought it into the lounge so I could fix it over the weekend. Told DP what was wrong with it, just in passing conversation. Tonight, I went to cook dinner. DP was sat on the sofa reading his book. When I came back into the lounge half an hour later DP was still sat on the sofa reading his book. But the thing in the lounge had been fixed. He didn't tell me he was going to fix it, didn't tell me he had fixed it, he'd just done it. I just smiled to myself and gave him all the best crispy potatoes when I served up. Love him.
