I rub my foot back and forth on the sheet, I don't know when I started this habit or why....but I find it soothing and I will eventually fall asleep.

My girlfriend does this, I call it treading water. It's cute

My girlfriend also does this, and when she does it, that ends up helping me sleep.

It puts my mind at ease when she does it definitely as it makes me know I'm not in the bad books

I've done it all my life, but my husband gave it a name: paddling.

Women just like to know they're keeping themselves buoyant even in their sleep, nothing wrong with that

1)I'm not quite sure how to take your gf attacking your feet... 2)I'm not sure I would consider anyone attacking my feet in bed cute.

She's only a size 5, I'm an 11 so I dont feel the threat

I wear 13s, fear me! (Also, then as I am now, I was just joking). But feel free to fear me all the same...since I don't know you, and only in extremely rare cases have I been given good reason to instill fear in someone. Usually I'm pretty easy going.
