What's Love Gotta Do, Gotta Do With It?

Love and attraction... they go hand in hand. But it's not always the obvious qualities that spur attraction. Today as we finally get to that spicy & sizzly unofficial start to the Summer season, I thought, why not talk about some of my little non-sexual attractions. We're getting PG-13 y'all!

- Forehead kisses, especially on a stressful day. They make me feel warm inside and cared for.

- When Josh plays into my plant obsession by sending me photos of available plants when he stops by the store. It shows me that he truly knows my interests.

- He knows when I need to be left alone to figure things out. He knows that if I need help, I'll ask for it.

- Foot rubs. Doesn't matter where or when, if I get my foot even remotely close to him, he gives it a rub or at least a few squeezes, acknowledging me.

- That he has full on conversations with the cats, animating their responses, having them respond to me... I giggle everytime.

- That he's good with my nieces and nephew- despite what he thinks. Kids can be difficult to deal with but he handles it like a champ. Watching him get baby Bradley to sleep when we were impromptu babysitting was certainly one of my favorite moments I've ever witnessed.

- How passionately he loves his time. As annoying as it is at the same time, my boy knows his free time and knows exactly how to spend it. If he's not getting in a well deserved nap, he's jamming out on his guitar, writing pages upon pages in his book, killing some baddies in whatever video game he's currently involved with, or assisting in some household chores. I need to take a lesson from him on free time as I can't seem to relax, ever.  

- My Italian American lover... didn't pick up much in terms of cooking skills from his parents but my God he can make a mean sub. Sub night is one of my favorites now as he gets so excited about making dinner for us. 

- Despite the fact he doesn't do the cooking, he 100% does the dishes, often without prompting, immediately after dinner or just on a random whim after work. 

- That he plans our vacations and so clearly takes interest in plans for them. I'm fortunate that he's willing to do this and that he'll point things out to me that he knows I'll be interested in.

- Sometimes he can pair the perfect flannel shirt with a perfect pair of jeans... divine. 

listen... I don't have a picture of him in his flannel. So enjoy this picture of out cat looking "devine" with the sun hitting her!

So. What are some of your favorite non sexual attractions that your partner performs? Or something you see and feel as though you've lost your breath?
