Like everyone's said... I *love* these stories.
I was instantly into his dark hair and green eyes, and I have a thing for tall men. I also loved his sense of humor... deadpan and sarcastic. (I still remember the first thing he said that made me laugh.)
AND. I'd spent the previous year dating jerks. Seriously. One after another. So what I really liked was that I could instantly tell he's a genuinely nice person, about as non-selfish as anyone can be. I was right.
Also, he likes slender redheads. It's nice to be someone's 'type.'
