What are your/your SO's cute little idiosyncrasies that endearing?

When she first started dating her boyfriend, a friend of mine HAD TO WEAR her yellow dish washing gloves before shed start washing the dinner dishes. He thought it was adorable.

Me? I scrunch up my nose when I laugh, dont like something, or if Im thinking really hard. Im told it is *ultra* cute.

Well I think the most endearing quality about my best friend is her complete lack of embarassment and etiquette. For instance, recently we went out to a fancy resteraunt and she laughed so hard she spit a mouthful of water all over the table and then fell on the floor and just rolled around and laughed and the girl had absolutely no hesitation to do this, completely ignoring the stares of irritated customers and waiters. She's not rude and never *really* bothers anyone, she's just herself at all times and in all situations regardless of what is expected of her. I love that girl.

My ex had these big super-nerdy reading glasses he only would wear at night after he took out his contacts. I vividly remember the first time I spent the night at his apartment when he walked out of the bathroom wearing them. I almost died, it was so cute.

As for me, for some reason everyone thinks it's adorable when I yawn. Go figure...

hmmmm, I went out with this girl once who, when she sneezed actually went Ah-choo, or Ah-chooie this was endearing, but even more so intriguing...was it real or affectation? turned out real... meanwhile... another ex, well the first four times I met her, her hair was a different colour... definately endearing...?

My SOs endearing quality is that I can catch him staring at me when he doesn't think I'm looking.

I've been told it's REAL cute when I pout like a puppy dog, but the boy I'm dating might be biased :)

I don't think I have any cute characteristics, although my wife claims to love it when I quote to her from the book I'm reading (yeah, I know). My wife is adorable when she's brushing out her hair -- it's a full-body workout for her, performed with the ritual and grace of a floor exercise at the Olympics level. I'm sure that if I were a composer, I would have set it to music by now.

My most endearing quality is my complete lack of humility.

Heh.

I hiccup all the time. Not hiccups - plural - but hiccup, singular, just the one, about once every four hours or so. They are usually very small and high pitched. Many people have commented on how cute this is.

Some friends of mine, a couple, play punchbuggy with the sort of violence usually reserved for soccer fans. I find this endearing. You should see them when they pass by the VW dealership...

Another friend of mine has really bad eyesight, and when she forgets you can still see her and will make all sorts of funny grimaces. I find this endearing too.

Wow, that last sentence really didn't make sense. What I meant was, when she takes off her glasses, she forgets you can still see her....

Sebastien sings.

In the shower.

In Klingon.

Also hopelessly cute: the way his hair stands up in spikes on either side of his head in the morning. It makes him look like a younger, goofier Albert Einstein.

And finally, the way he blushes when I pay him a compliment. He has itty bitty little apple cheeks spattered lightly with freckles and when he blushes it's just SO cute.

My boyfriend thinks it's really funny when I sneeze. Not when I'm having a sneezing fit, but when just one or two come out. I go "a- choo!" in these little "kitty-cat" sneezes. Also, he likes to tickle me because I'm ticklish everywhere. Really. My scalp, my ears, the backs of my hands-- he finds this funny. Plus the way I giggle while he's tickling me. I go "heeheehee!"

He's an artist, so I love watching him get all artistic. He's so peaceful when he draws or paints. And I love watching him sleep. He's absolutely motionless, and he doesn't snore (bonus!), but he sleeps on his tummy with his hands balled up under his chin. He also makes expressions, depending on what he's dreaming.

I also like going into the bathroom and surprising him when he's in the shower. One day he was all lathered up, with his hair in spikes and a toothbrush in his mouth. And a look of surprise on his face that was priceless.

I love how sometimes his hair sticks up in the front like Tin Tin. I love his sense of humour and his laugh. I love his smile with his cute little overbite. I love the fact the likes to cook, and he isn't afraid to try new things. I love how he brings me cut flowers at work on his day off. I love him. I'd better stop. I'm getting all Renee Zellweger/Gerry Maguire on you (you had me at hello!).

I'll often making joking-around sarcastic comments to George and he'll give me this look that says "oh OKAY now..." and i find it unbelievably cute. I also love when i make sexual or suggestive jokes directed at him and he'll get a bit shy and exclaim "SHERRY!"

He's also got a gap in between his two top front teeth. He hates it and often refers to the future, where he hopes to have enough money to get them capped. I hope he changes his mind, because i love his smile so much. He may be 37 but when he smiles i know what he must have looked like when he was just a little boy.

I apparently have "the look". You know, when someone is bugging you trying on purpose to annoy you (just jokingly of course) and you give them "the look". Apparnetly George finds this endearing. Also he likes to tickle me with little to no mercy (Heather, i know just what you mean!) and he loves the way i giggle and shriek and squirm to get away.

Whoa. This is one of those threads that will make single people gag and puke.

More like, miss the days when someone thought there was anything cute and endearing about me.

My ex-boyfriend seemed to find my moles cute, and was -really- fond of this bump I have on my head.

My boyfriend is from Germany, but speaks English very well. At times, though, you can really hear the accent, which I find very endearing. For example, one of the libraries here is named after Walter P. Reuther - but he always says "rufer" instead of Reuther. Very cute.

As for me, he says it is cute when I pout. I used to only do it mockingly, as I thought it was quite an annoying expression. Now I think I've become a bit conceited about it...

Oh - I'm apparently the cutest creature in the world, and my every facial expression is fantastic.

Not that he's biased or anything like that ...

And he's just too gorgeous to go into, and far too endearing, and it's making me miserable just to think about it because he's in Switzerland and I'm not seeing him for a couple of weeks.

Well I'm not full time with anyone right now, but this one guy I see on and off completely threw me for a loop the other day.

I showed up at his apartment, and he had his glasses on. I'd *never* seen him with his specs and I just lusted right out! It was the sexiest thing *ever*! I'm still shocked at my reaction. And I'm shocked that I still go nutty just thinking about it!
