I'm initially drawn to a man of integrity, his strength of character, a keen wit, sense of humor, self-control, and somewhat brave but slight touch of vulnerability that allows me to tend to his needs or wounds...
But what really takes my breath away are kind eyes that seem to look deep into my soul and a sincere smile..both noticeable right away. His tender touch. A gentle self-assurance like placing his hand softly on the small of my back to guide me down a hall, through a doorway, etc.
And when he has a certain mystery and intrigue, leaving a little of himself to the imagination...that keeps me desiring more.
I remember a man in my life who would stand in back of me to help me put my coat on, then gently pull my long hair out of the coat in the back by sliding his fingertips across the bare, back of my neck. That took my breath away every time !
