…gives us butterflies in the beginning
…shows us affection in tender ways
…comes out with our friends and plays the role of token adorable guy
…agrees to go splitsies when we order food
…surprises us with thoughtful gifts and gestures
…compliments us on things other than our looks
…but, yeah, he also tells us we’re beautiful and hot, like, all the time
…gives us cards with stuff written in them
…calls us on our questionable behavior
…makes us trust him completely.
…thinks it’s adorable when we’re our all-alone-selves in front of him.
