No, this isn’t about anyone on the board (for once :)).
First of all, i rarely ever get crushes. Second, for me to fall this hard is VERY rare. However, today was different. I had been corresponding with the guy who was doing the job interviews for one of the places on campus I applied for a student assistant position at. Little did I know what would happen when I finally met him.
So, i get there, walk in the door, and see this cute guy sitting at the desk. As we did the interview (all of 10 minutes), i kept sitting there thinking, “damn, he’s so cute!”. I do not know exactly what it was about him that did me in. It could have been his jet black hair, his blue eyes (he’s at least half latino), his nice body (not huge, but you could tell he had some muscle), or the cute outfit he had on (tightish dress shirt, and black work pants).
This is an odd thing for me, i’ve NEVER thought about someone this much. I’ve been thinking about this guy the entire day since the interview. Fortunately, it looks like i’ll have the job, and if i’m not his replacement (i’m not sure), then i’ll get to see his cute ass quite a bit. sigh
So, tell Doobie, have you had huge crushes on people you just met? What was it about them that made you fall hard?
My infamous “guy on campus”. Long blond hair, simmery blue eyes, attitude, goth.
Purrr…
I see him every couple of weeks, just wandering around. And every time I have the internal fight as to whether or not I should pounce on him and drag him off yet or not.
Gee, i guess the only people who really care are the ones who posted in this thread (I am kidding!). I did tell like everyone in chat. But 99 views and only 3 replies? Pshh. Well, i take what I can get.
Actually, this was posted more as just a way to get those feelings out. I think pleasant thoughts when I think of the guy. Even if he doesn’t stay at that office, i’ll probably see him around. It’s a small school still. But if he ever showed interest (that is, if he’s gay of course, which i did keep (wishfully maybe) thinking, i’d jump at that chance in a minute!
Awww… Doobie, that’s so cute! I’ve developed crushes instantly after meeting someone for the first time. Sure, nothing came of any of these crushes… Ummm, good luck and stuff!
Throughout high school, I had the biggest crush on a guy named Ronald Serrano. I just melted every time he came near me and I know I probably came across as a total goofball. Years later I saw him at the grocery store and even though he looked the same (tall, beautiful brown hair, smoke-colored eyes, sexy smile), he didn’t do anything for me.
Ladies in old movies, people who post to message boards, that really cute guy who was in some movie I saw this weekend, ladies buying melons at the supermarket, ladies selling melons at the supermarket, strippers, waitresses, bartenders, cartoon characters, real life people who look like cartoon characters, people I meet in my dreams, UPS drivers who wear diamond earrings, the lady who sells frogs, …
I think this list would go on for hours. And my fingers would hurt. And, I don’t think I would ever have a point. Maybe that I often have crushes. Thats a good point to have.
Doob, it sounds like you are going to take this job and make other arrangements in lieu of a paycheck. Sounds fun.
I’m with pricciar on this. I’m always getting a crush on someone to a greater or lesser degree. During my working/school days I even cultivated crushes. It’s much easier to drag yourself to work or to class if you know you’re going to see the cutie at the next desk.
A. He really is gay, and not just another straight guy with a soft voice who dresses well ;).
B. He has no boyfriend if A is true
C. He’s interested in me if A and B are true.
But, thanks for all the kind thoughts people. My, I think even if I dont do much in this job, if this guy is still around, work is going to be MUCH more fun ;).
There’s this adorable guy who comes into my store every once and a while with his equally adorable puppy and…his girlfriend/wife. Feh. Just gorgeous, but without that “I am a beautiful man, and I know you want me” attitude that I find so distasteful. ::sigh::
Doob, it’s a shame I’m so far away, I have legendary gaydar. Seriously. It’s the envy of many a gay man. I could give you the anwer to A in about 10 minutes.
When you are a gay kid, there’s this bizarre period before you come out to yourself, the part where you know, but you don’t know you know. Anyway, during this time I was going to an all boys’ school, where I had crushes on at least four guys plus two teachers at once. Torment.
Anyway, I went to a Queer McGill party last night, and I found both the gorgeous British guy in my phonetics class and the yummy young prof who teaches the French class before my Italian class there. I got the British guy’s number. Yum.
People in chat have heard me talk about “Turkish girl”, a stunningly beautiful female who, unfortunately, isn’t in any of my classes this semester. I sense that she likes me, but my mind rebels; I mean, someone as good looking as her couldn’t possibly be interested in me, right?
And here’s how the gods have worked against me: she offered to sell me her old tax books to save me some money. So I give her my number so we can arrange the exchange. She calls, we arrange, and we go on conversing about miscellaneous stuff. And then, ten minutes into the conversation, my cordless phone starts beeping at me because the battery is dying. Gotta hang it up. ARGH!
By Gadfrey, I will not be thwarted; I’m gonna make this one work somehow.
Damn swiddles. Too bad i wasnt like a millionaire so i could fly you on out here and you could meet him (i’d say you were a student, so he wouldnt catch on to my plan ;)). Anyway, time will tell about this guy. I strongly suspect he is. It’s the same feeling I got from two guys in one of my classes last spring semester (who through a chat i did finally find out there were gay). I guess i’ll have to put on the charm and be a little flirty around him to see ;).
Aside: In this chat, me and a few of the other gay guys at my school lament about how few gay men there are and how there’s an over abundance of bi/lesbian women at our school.
Max: Ahh yes, the lovely turkish girl you pine for. Do you still see her around?
I used to work with this guy I had a tremendous crush on. He was the nicest, sexiest, funniest man—but also married with 3 children. We had this unspoken “yeah, we like each other, but…” thing going. It was painful, but it was also sweet and fun, because we both knew that it wasn’t going to get dangerous.
Oh, and Swiddles, I could use your gaydar, too, although I am hoping for the opposite result. I am attracted to this guy here who does not beep my gaydar, but he is a bit high risk–he is a 50-year-old never-married artist. He doesn’t dress well, though, so I have hope.
Hey, Swiddles, point of order please: Just exactly what is gaydar? No, no, don’t get me wrong, I do know what the term implies, but isn’t it really nothing more than highly tuned intuition? Hell, as a hetrosexual male I am usually highly accurate about such things (and believe me that bothered me greatly during my younger years!), but also fare pretty well at intuiting other issues about folks as well. No attempt at a hijack here, Doob, just wondering. BTW, good luck and may things turn out as you desire!
I get crushes all the time, but usually it’s after I’ve talked to the person. One that sticks out to me is this guy who started working with me in the middle of the summer. Very tall, very skinny (for some reason I’m big into tall, skinny guys) with black hair and the most adorable mouth I’ve ever seen. Like, I would pay money just to watch him laugh. As if that georgeous mouth wasn’t enough, he’s got really sharp features in general (adorable as well), and these deep brown eyes…The first time I saw him I couldn’t stop staring. Whew.
Well, I like to think of it more like a God-given inner divining rod. It’s a combination of your typical sterotypes, (dresses well, has track lighting, etc,) and something else. Total lack of sexual intrest on his part. Now I guess I should say that my lesbian-gaydar isn’t too terribly good. It’s gotten me into trouble. Long story. Anyway, that’s what it is.

Gaydar “in action” is something to behold. When I was in hospital and my friend John was visiting me, he made a remark about one of the male doctors. “But I’m sure he’s a straight guy,” he sighed. I was like, you didn’t even talk to the guy! John said the doctor didn’t look at him “the right way.”
