His 3/4 length shirt sleeve was neatly folded up.
Your eyes get all ‘crow’s feet’ when you smile.
Love this!
1. You wait for the host to finish cooking before you joined your friends at the table and help her bring the food to the table. Awesome manners.
2. You have an out-of-bed hair that sticks everwhere. And it looks so good on you.
3. You are wearing simple khakis, and you carry it so fine.
You resemble the guy I’m in love with a lot!
Honest laughter. The type where your eyes close. If you aren’t afraid to laugh and not hide it, then my heart melts.
these are ridiculously accurate :)
A well tailored suit always gets me.
Also, my husband works in autobody and can’t wear his wedding ring most days, so I always love when he wears it. It’s like being freshly married again!
I have honestly never agreed with a post more!
You smell good.
You have crinkly eyes when you smile.
You have a British, Scottish or Irish accent.
Ooooh yes please!
These are dead on, ha ha! Especially the one about seeing someone carrying flowers or the one about seeing someone else alone at a theater : )
Yes to the voice! I have crushes on audiobook readers all the time. I imagine they smell good too.
OMG Yes!
I love this! I am super susceptible to having crushes, so I definitely relate.
I would add
+ we had a laugh together over something
+ you have nice forearms
+ your coffee order was uncomplicated
OMG I totally agree with those! :)
I notice nice forearms, too! Haha!!
Yep, this about sums it up
You’re wildly funny. I have had fleeting crushes on so many people who otherwise made absolutely no sense or to whom I otherwise wasn’t even remotely attracted – my elementary school music teacher, my highschool math teacher, a man I met in NZ* (I’m Canadian), a married man in his 80s.
*The Kiwi’s accent also helped. ; )
All of these are so spot on! Here’s a few of mine:
1. Expressive, big strong working hands.
2. Someone wearing all the colours and too many patterns with confidence. Although “too many” is definitely subjective.
3. A hockey butt.
4. A touque (canadian for beanie) and goggles tan.
5. Strangers who hold the door for you.
6. You speak with a lisp.
7. Accents, any and all.
8. When a tall person unexpectedly picks me up and swings me around in a big hug (because they can’t help themselves?) because I am quite short.
9. Purposefully mismatched socks with a suite.
10. People who use handkerchiefs.
11. Big radiant smiles from strangers.
You’re on the train and reading a book I love.
YOU’RE TALL!
Because you played with my son and I saw that you are sincerely happy.
You’re Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Haha, yes!
YEP! Haha
Love this! I tell my kids (and husband:)) all the time about my new “boyfriends” — the sweet guy at the post office who was so helpful with our passports, the meteorologist on our npr station who isn’t over the top, the elderly tour guide at a historic house who was so interesting … and on and on. I’m not sure I’d quite call them crushes, but I certainly remember these awesome people!
i love, and look forward to, these illustrations by mari, but this one might be my favorite. Until next weeks…
You sent me a Kate McKinnon GIF.
Really good manners slay me.
haha me too!
You smell great.
I saw you dancing with a little girl.
You resemble one of my favorite characters in a show.
You have a dimples.
You’re wearing a floral print.
You’re much taller than me. (At 5’9″, this is rarer than you’d think. Maybe I live in a short area. :P )
as another 5’9″ girl, i agree completely!
Tall, cute butt, holds babies. Strong and silent to, balance me out!
I just fell in love for about 30 seconds on my lunch break standing next to a stranger who smelled better than any human I’ve ever met. I’m over him now, though.
“I’m over him now, though” hahahah
You make really good eyecontact that feels familiar.
I so relate to this.
Oh yes! yes!
You smell good.
You have strong hands with clean fingernails.
You’re a redhead….gets me every time.
thanks! lol
Same!!! I married me one of those :)
You’re being goofy around a baby or kid. Melts my heart every time!
The very good sweater! Always a crushable sign. Hooray for autumn/winter! T shirts just don’t have the same panache.
100000000000000%. If you don’t talk to me on a plane you are my favorite person.
Amen sister
I’d add “You have nice hands that move expressively when you speak”
+ you’re walking a dog
+ you offered me the empty seat on the bus instead of taking it for yourself
+ i saw you help your girlfriend put her coat on
Yes- Agree to all of these!!
Oh I get random crushes all the time! Smelling nice, making eye contact and smiling to strangers, men being kind to dogs or children, women who are helpful to each other.. I started a new job a few weeks ago and felt a bit lost the first day. Come say day two (which was a week later) and one of the guys I worked with greeted me with a huge smile and a hug when I walked in. Totally made my day that he set the tone and was so kind and helpful from the start.
You cooed at a baby. You know a poem by heart. YOU HAVE A CUTE DOG.
I second this! ?!!!
These are so true! I used to have a crush on the UPS guy at my old job because he always smelled so good, which was incredible considering he was hauling heavy boxes in the middle of summer. I think that made him seem magical.
Exactly! I basically married the UPS guy in your scenario. My (now) husband managed a warehouse, and I worked in the office. When I “needed” to go out to the warehouse, I would walk by him and surreptitiously inhale deeply, lol. He was oblivious.
LOL I felt the same way with my FedEx guy! He smelled so good and him being quite the eye candy helped too. Oh the memories… wonder where he is now.
The Bend & Snap :)
Next to “You’re unavailable” I’d add “I’m unavailable.”
Ha ha exactly ;)
hahaha. so true.
we made eye contact and you smiled
These are so cute!
The voice one is soooo correct. When I was little, my parents made up a story that my dad called random numbers and liked my mom’s voice and that’s why they went out and got married. My twin sister and I believed it for ages ;)
Morgan Freeman’s voice is one of my favorites. But I’ll take Idris Elba too!!!
