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

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!

When I first met my partner, he was a journalist, and I first started to fancy him when he turned up at a fairly chaotic incident I was working at. All the other press there were pushy and annoying and over-keen, but he was just lurking around looking all scruffy and cynical, being quietly observant, jotting things down in shorthand and asking incisive, clever questions in a really casual way that made people tell him things without really realising they'd told him things. Proper old-school crime reporter.

He's not a journalist any more but we do actually now work for the same organisation and occasionally his workplace demeanour still properly gives me the horn.

I love seeing men being kind and soppy with cats (or dogs but especially cats). It's just so lovely especially if I hadn't thought they were cat people.

We had a builder who did a lot of work on our house. He worked like a machine, barely stopping and was quite brusque. Polite enough but very straight to the point. One day I was looking out of the window and he was carrying materials down the driveway when one of our neighbours cats marched down the drive and rolled over in front of him. He put all the stuff down and bent down and stroked and fussed the cat for as long as she wanted. It didn't make me fancy him but I immediately adjusted my perception of him from competent builder to competent builder + nice human being!

I was in Sainsbury's when a woman was looking at her phone and barged straight into me...knocking my walking stick from underneath me.. l was just about to fall to the floor when this tall handsome man must have seen it and caught me under my arms.
I looked up to thank him.. staring into the most beautiful deep blue eyes... my gosh that was a moment.😍
( The woman carried on walking oblivious).

This thread is brilliant.

Srsly, you'll have to pick me up with a sponge... 😄🥵

Years ago I had a hard day & my then completely previously unfancied flatmate said "I'll do dinner - go have a bath"
He didn't ask what to get
He didn't ask where to go
He didn't ask "do we have x ingredient"
He didn't ask anything - just did it & yes sleeves rolled up with lovely forearm

He then cleared plates away & did not stand around waiting for me to do brass band level cheering & thanking.

He just said ok, see ya later.

Massive horn for him thereafter.

When I was telling my personal trainer how low I had felt about my body after having a baby and how weak my core felt, he said in a calm, quiet and measured voice, "Your body has done one of the strongest and greatest feats you could ever do, bringing a child into the world. Don't be so hard on yourself". And from that day on, I have loved him from afar.

On one of our first dates my now DH prevented a bar brawl.

We were sitting chatting in a noisy pub and i became aware that although he was still talking and laughing with me, something kept catching his eye right behind me, he kept glancing up past my head.

All of a sudden he was out of his seat like a flippin' bolt of lightening and going WHOA WHOA WHOA and getting between these two blokes about to swing at each other right behind me. Another guy helped too, but when DH told them ''Take it outside away from the ladies bro!!'

Part of me thought - ladies ... do i like being a lady? But mostly I thought ... ooooh 😊

Moving furniture.

Years and years ago a guy I knew helped me collect furniture and take it to my new house.

He drove the van, he manhandled all the heavy stuff ON HIS OWN. I'm talking heavy brown furniture - wardrobe, chest of drawers, my SOFA! He hoiked the whole lot single handed, then drove back. It was a lot. He was also only about 5'7" or so. The wardrobe was about 7' tall! But he packed quite a punch.

I developed a raging crush on him after that, my friends all thought I'd had a blow to the head and seriously questioned my choice but that contained power was irresistible. After some relentless pursuit by me he did give in to my charms!

It fizzled out pretty quick but I was like a thing possessed at its height!

Pulled me out of a really deep ditch he’d watched me fall in because of a speeding car on a country road then caught my horse. I just remember looking at these forearms when he was pulling me out then I looked into a pool of brown eyes. I was pregnant within the year 🫢

That sideways bunny hopping over fences they do.

I don't know what it's called but it always makes me feel i bit odd 😂

God knows what evolutionary advantage bunny hopping over fences has ?!?

DH casually asking if I’d like to know what my SIPP was now worth. Vaguely aware he set one up for me when we married 23 years ago. I gave permission to the firm for him to manage the investments (DH an accountant). It’s a huge sum. He just did it. Hasn’t gone on about it over the years. Sexiest man alive.

Lol @Laiste at "do I like being a laydee" - ha ha

Backtoblack87 · 11/10/2024 16:17

I guess I’d like to show off my DH as most things he does make me fancy him more…
Shares all household tasks despite working more, is an amazing dad, loves cooking meals for us, does all the odd jobs around the house self teaching himself online all whilst having a nice toned bod and forearms 😂

Spoke to me. Turned to me at the bar, spoke half a dozen words to me and his voice just made my legs weak. Turns out he's a musician and singer and has a voice like warm honey.

A colleague fixed my bike once, so I could cycle home. Highlight was turning the whole bike upside down with complete confidence. I think he was already a bit attractive beforehand, and then he was suddenly phwoar.
