"I have my moments..." he says.

Guys like to believe they're all that. He'll do his work with this crazy-serious look on his face because he knows his girl likes that. Makes him look smart (not that he isn't). He'll pretend he's seen it all and heard it all before, and he'll pretend he's too absorbed to hear whatever you just said. He reads more than you would - faster too, and most likely with more consigned to memory. But then, when you least expect it, you might just suddenly feel a foot nudging yours under the table.

Hey, he's only human.
