I love these they're great!
I would defiantly have to say my SO's accent (as well, haha, so many people talking about accents) which is wayyyy better to hear over the phone, on a playback of a video I recorded (or just a voice recording) or (the best way) in person than over Skype (which distorts it sooo much )
When I tickle him!
The way he comforts me.
He does this thing where he'll start repeating "no" (kind of odd and jokingly) that I think is adorable.
The way he talks about things I've done, the way I say things (we've made each other say aluminum, zebra, yogurt, etc. so many times) or expressions I make.
And probably the most important one...The way he looks at me.

His accent still gives me butterflies from time to time to this day. Remembering the first time we kissed, and did other things also gives me butterflies whenever I remember them. I also love it when we talk about the future, and when we talk about how much we both love each other. It makes me feel warm, happy, and lucky.

It was hilarious when we had a five month stretch in between any form of Skype/talking on the phone. His accent was so thick, I could have taken him right there. Generally it gets thick or "t'ick" again when talking with other Irish folk. I would say his uncle is about the only one I can't understand... simply based on pace of speaking and the fact he doesn't realise he's speaking to an American! LOL.
Can I add "when he reads to me" to the list?
And YES, agreed about the reading to us! My SO read to me the other day, and my heart melted into a puddle. Love those Irish lilts."I love thee to the depth, and breadth, and height my soul can reach..." ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Lovely thread! So many "awww" moments
Let's see, when my love touches my cheek with the back of his hand ever so gently, so tender, so loving.
When he takes care of me, seriously, he takes such great care of me...when I'm sick especially.
The way he serves my food on to my plate, gets me my drink, so attentive.
His accent as well - so beautiful.
The way I catch him looking at me - those eyes...eek, butterflies now thinking of it.
The way he holds me hand - even when he's driving. LOL at the poster above who was amazed that her SO can drive through anything using just one hand - same here! He has to keep switching hands since he drives a shift, but he never lets go of mine. *le sigh*
His kiss...oh how I love his lips.
The way he holds me tight at night, pulling me in closer to him.
His smile...melts my heart.
Ah, I miss him.

-the way he laughs when he gets really excited about something is so goofy and the best thing in the world
-SERIOUS butterflies when I met him at the airport for our last visit and we just walked straight into each others arms, and the way his voice was shaking slightly as he said "hey babe" right into my ear and then the shy, awkward kiss that followed <3
-when he's drunk and we're on skype if I have to leave to go to class (time difference!) how he says "nooooo!" and sounds really sad :P
-whenever we're cooking together he slides around in his socks on the tile floor of the kitchen and acts really silly, always wrapping his arms around me from behind and tickling me :3
-whenever I'm upset he holds me close and says "shh, I've got you." it makes me feel so safe and loved and thankful to have him <3
-the look in his eye before we do anything sexual... yum.
-the poems that he writes and sends me in the mail! the cutest!
SO MANY REASONS. but this last one is the best. one night we were laying in bed facing each other, it was really quiet, and then he whispered "I want to be with you forever." and a moment of silence followed that because I didn't know what to say, I could only hear my heart beating out of my chest. then I said "I would be okay with that." cuddling ensued. :3 he's the best. <3Last edited by one-more-reason; April 22, 2012, 11:17 AM.

from a distance its when he calls me his baby girl, because he only does when hes really talking to me and were having a good conversation or ending a good night just makes me feel that extra love. I love it everytime, even if i don't tell him that enough. And then when he says certain things, just when he really comments on me,he'll compliment or say something when were on camera, or one time just randomly told me i was beautiful, i thought it was random cause was nothing leading up to that lol or our future, gosh our future, when he brings up specifics makes me crazy. Weather us, wedding talk, kids, the next year just, the specifics makes me get excited.
And in person ah so much, like when were together cuddling or on our way somewhere or im upset or just when he's holding me he'll kiss the top of my head, i really love that. When he smiles, gosh he doesn't do it enough at all but its breath taking. When hes being full on attention on me, serious and tells me he loves me omg just, yeah he gives me butterflys all the time still. sorry rambling lol he drives me crazy when he wants to.I love you Nathan <3

The way he looks at me is the best. When he's really looking at me. It's like I can see his love.
When he comes home (we currently live together). If I get to wait for him, and see him walking up the steps it's like he's walking up the steps to my apartment for the first time.
When I'm dressing up for him for a nice date. I still get nervous thinking about how he'll react.
He's so sweet when I'm upset, too. I can't say that gives me butterflies because usually I'm worried about other things. But he's always so sweet.Met online: Nov 2010 - Met in person: Nov 20, 2010

-Her beautiful blue eyes.
-The little half-smile she has.
-How she looks when she wakes up in the morning.
-When she steps out of her car and I get to hold her for the first time in a while.
-The way her voice gets higher when we play-argue.

Usually any time he touches me, not in a sexual way, just things as simple as placing his hand at the small of my back, or running his fingers along my side, or holding my hand. All and any of those things are things that really make me feel safe and loved, the fact of knowing that he wants to be near me. Gives me shivers every time.

The way he goes, "Hey, how's it going?" when I call him and he realizes it's me on the phone. I say it in my head every time I need a pick me up.

- When I first saw him coming through arrivals
- The first time we kissed
- Every time I see him, whether it is at the airport, or when he's just coming to meet me to walk me back to his from seeing my friends, or even first thing in the morning
- Whenever he holds my hand :3No time zone or distance or anything can keep us apart

♥ I have a recording of him on my phone saying "Te amo por siempre para siempre" that never fails to make my tummy tingle~
♥ Thinking about how soon I'll get to see him again.
♥ The way he messes up some words cause of his accent. Like he accidentally says "girrflien" instead of girlfriend.
♥ Pretty much anything he does.
