Let's get this straight—boys are buffoons. Whereas girls overthink absolutely everything to achieve the best possible end result, boys claim to "think logically" when really they just go with the first thing that comes to mind. They are simple creatures—and yet we can't get enough of them and their little eccentricities. Here are just a few of the things boys do that drive us crazy.
1. Roll their sleeves up
Ugh. That little hint of the forearm is just so tantalizing. This gives the illusion of more defined arms (just like a beard gives the illusion of a better jawline) but this is one kind of deception I'm ready and willing to accept.
2. Place their hand on your back/waist
The lower back and waist are some of the most sensitive and sensual parts of the body. So it's no wonder whenever a boy puts their hand there in passing ("just trying to get through") it sends shivers up and down your spine.
3. Play with their hair
Watching them tousle and tease their hair only makes you want to run your fingers through it that much more. They make it hard to keep your hands to yourself.
4. That little, slow smile
How can they make something as innocent as a smile look so adorable yet so sexy at the same time? In any case, this brings attention to their mouth and more importantly, their lips—and you end up thinking about kissing them even if it was unintentional.
5. Boy smell (you know you love it)
While some boys need to be taught a lesson in moderation (you shouldn't smell like a walking Axe factory), that distinct and clean musky smell is just addictive, especially when they pull you into a hug or they lean in close. Often you find it, it takes everything you have to stop yourself from pulling them closer.
6. Boy squeezes
The flirty, affectionate boys do this best. Greeting a boy with a hug and getting a tight squeeze in response (or a cheeky little grab) is the best feeling and you end up thinking about it for days on end.
7. Check up texts
Nothing is more heart-warming than checking your phone and seeing you got a text from a guy you like. It's even better when it's them checking in on you, asking what you're doing and if you got home safe. It shows that they care and even worry about you and that you were on their mind. So cute!
8. When they look at you like you're the best thing in the world
Boys are often easily distracted. But when you're having a conversation and he's giving you his full attention and keeping eye contact with you, it's hard not to get flustered. Sometimes, if you look hard enough, you can see how his eyes light up whenever you come around, and that's when you know you got him.
