<p>What habits do you find endearing? What little things have guys done for you that make you fall head over heels for them?</p>

<hr>

<p>For me (and yes, these are all about specific people):
- He can have a conversation about politics without arguing
- He knows just which news articles will pique my interest and forwards them to me
- He loves hypothetical questions, if I talk to him about some crazy idea I have he listens and builds on it. He's willing to discuss any idea seriously. If he doesn't like it, he won't be afraid to offer his opinions, but he'll do so gently and without contempt.
- When I walk into his room, he turns to me, gives me his full attention, and says "Hi Jessica, how are you?" Nothing I say is not worth his time. Unless he's busy, in which case he explains.
- We can converse for long periods of time on almost any topic
- He can hear my worst secrets and feel for me instead of judging me or staring awkwardly
- He likes NetHack. He sends me high-level items in computer games we play.
- He's a tortured math professor
- He can build web applets and program computer games (and/or bots that play NetHack)
- He gave me his root password and let me mess around on his computer
- He reaches out to distressed strangers
- He injects Prozac into rats
- He is successful and finishes problem sets three days in advance
- He's good at word games like Contact, Taboo, ...
- His car has a built-in GPS</p>

<p>JESSICA THOSE ARE SO CUTE :3 they're so nerdy and endearing!</p>

<p>Some of miiine:
- He likes it when I'm argumentative and pick fights with him for no reason! He laughs about it afterward and says it was cute and he was just acting. :3<br>
- He wrote me a letter with a secret message in it! It was a double-reverse-quadruple-tiered acrostic, and it was really sweet.<br>
- Uhm one time we decided to exile ourselves from each other for a while, right? As a social experiment, we weren't allowed to talk for a certain period of time. But we couldn't do it so we sent each other secret messages by favoriting youtube videos. V. sweet. <3
- He can read my mind, which is scary but very exciting.
- He's really good at memorizing things. Like huge amounts of numbers, and African countries and capitals. -___- And he's brilliant at making connections and understanding things and flkdsjlksd. I feel inferior but THAT'S A TURN ON!</p>
