Oh, Men Who Know How to Drive...
Let's face it, ladies—there's just something so undeniably attractive about a man who knows how to drive, especially when he seems completely at ease behind the wheel. Sure, you know he shouldn't be driving with one hand just so he can intertwine fingers with you, but that doesn't mean you don't still get the butterflies. Sometimes, it's the smallest actions that are the most appealing.
1. One Hand on the Wheel
Again, everyone knows it's safer to drive with two hands on the wheel, but the ladies can't help but swoon every time a man knows how to perfectly maneuver his car with one palm. Maybe it's his relaxed posture or how at ease he seems in the driver's seat. Either way, the gals can't get enough.
2. Reversing Into a Parking Spot Perfectly
It's not like women can't do this themselves, but it's cuter when a man does it. Bonus points if he can reverse into a parking spot in one smooth attempt without using cameras! A guy who knows to trust his instincts and checks his surroundings thoroughly is way better than one who's glued to the backup camera any day.
3. Putting a Hand on the Passenger Seat While Reversing
Another trick that men do when they reverse? They put their palm at the back of the passenger seat. It's a small thing, but the movement can draw special attention to his arms, shoulders, and posture, especially when he's wearing a fitted shirt...
4. Rolling Up His Sleeves Before Driving
Okay, the ladies will probably (secretly) drool over this even when a man isn't driving, but there's just something so attractive about rolled-up sleeves! Maybe it's the exposed forearms or how it brings attention to his watch... No, it's probably the exposed forearms.
5. Resting His Hand on His Partner's Thigh
For couples who enjoy physical affection, a man who rests his hand on his partner's thigh can make any ride feel romantic. That is, of course, so long as the road conditions are safe and he can maintain full control of the vehicle.

6. Driving a Manual Transmission Smoothly
Not everyone knows how to drive stick, which makes men who do know how to all the more impressive. Sorry to those who drive an automatic—it's true that manual drivers are the real drivers. Now, about keeping one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear...
7. Wearing Sunglasses While Driving
Yep, some women are easy to woo, and that means just wearing a pair of sunnies behind the wheel can get their stomachs flipping. After all, it's no surprise that sunglasses can make an already attractive man look even better when he drives.
8. Checking His Blind Spot
Believe it or not, even something as small as checking a blind spot can be attractive! Women love attentiveness, so a guy who shows he takes safe driving seriously (while still being able to converse with her naturally) is pretty dang appealing.
9. Staying Calm in Heavy Traffic
Chaotic traffic would probably make most people freak out, so a guy who knows how to stay calm, even when navigating through congested streets, shows a girl he's an expert behind the wheel. He gets brownie points, too, if he doesn't honk or get aggressive at others!
10. Extending His Palm So You Can Hold Hands
More attractive than a guy putting his "free" hand on a woman's thigh is him extending his palm so you can hold hands. Trust us, fellas—this tiny move will have the ladies rolling around and kicking their feet. It's even more romantic when he gives her hand a gentle squeeze before they hit the road.
11. Parallel Parking Without Breaking a Sweat
Even more impressive than reversing perfectly into a spot? Parallel parking. Considering this is one of the hardest maneuvers for many drivers, a guy who can pull it off smoothly by carefully judging the space and guiding the car into place is, for lack of better words, kinda hot.

12. Helping Click in Her Seat Belt
Yes, yes, of course she can strap herself in. She's not some damsel! That said, however, men who take care of their ladies will always get an A+. Plus, helping her with her seat belt is a great way to flirt. Just picture leaning over and meeting her eyes...
13. Adjusting the Temperature to Her Liking
Speaking of taking care of the ladies, men who make sure their gal stays comfortable during the ride will also earn extra points. Even better when she doesn't have to bring it up! It's a reminder to all the fellas out there: pay attention to your partner's comfort.
14. Reaching an Arm Across Her When Braking
Need to brake suddenly? Another move that will have the ladies feeling all fluttery is when a man shoots out his arm to protect her when the car stops a little too abruptly. That way, she's not lurching forward and possibly hitting her head on the dashboard!
15. Looking Over and Smiling at a Red Light
Sometimes, all it takes is a smile to make someone's heart beat a little faster. When a man turns toward his partner at a red light and gives her a sweet smile, that can instantly make her melt. He can also pair it with a small kiss on the back of her hand.
16. Knowing Where He's Going
Yep, if a man knows exactly how to get to the destination without needing the GPS? That's sometimes enough to get the ladies swooning. Of course, he should really only do this for familiar routes (there's nothing attractive about getting lost), but that sense of preparedness can come off extremely confident and charming.
17. Singing Along to His Favorite Songs
Women love a confident man, but they also love it when they aren't afraid to be cute. Men who aren't shy about belting out their favorite song? Super endearing. It shows that they've got a more playful side to them than just being a "calm driver."
18. Driving with His Jaw Slightly Clenched
The ladies hate to admit it, but there's really just something hot about men who slightly clench their jaws when they're driving. Most of the time, he doesn't even know he's doing it—he's just concentrating on the road! Honestly, that just makes it more attractive.
19. Opening the Passenger Door for Her
Technically, this happens before or after driving, but it's still a gesture that deserves to be talked about. Chivalry isn't dead, fellas! Open the door for your queens! Trust us, it'll make her feel appreciated and cared for, because women love courteous men.
20. Making Sure She's Comfortable Before Leaving
More than just helping her get strapped in or adjusting the temperature to her liking, one of the most attractive things a man can do behind the wheel is show ample consideration. It could even be something as simple as changing the music to something they both enjoy! The key thing is to demonstrate that he's paying attention to her needs rather than focusing entirely on himself.
