Some of the worst relationships I have ever seen are between two very intelligent people. Bitchbitchbitchbitchbitch. Never could agree, always were able to rationalize their points of view, never gave in or accepted to agree to disagree. Horrible stuff.

C’mon **Stephi** , you know what men want anyways:

VenusProbe: I’ve known him for about 3 or 4 years. Actually, last summer when he came up with a bunch of other people, every night I’d sit with him and play Super Monkey Ball. (Well, along with another 10 or 12 people too.) A bunch of us sitting, drinking and playing Super Monkey Ball. 🙂

I’d bet he’s been interested for a while. I also think he was a bit confused by your response. And now doesn’t know what to do, I know I would be. Did you beat him at SMB?

Yeah, I kicked his butt at Super Monkey Ball! I think I’ll talk to him and explain things to him.

See? He isn’t smart enough to know what to do! Go get him! 😃

People look for all sorts of things in others. Some consider intelligence, some don’t… and some over or underestimate their intelligence, so what can you say?

If you don’t feel uncomfortable around him, then I say go for it. 🙂

I asked him and he said, “Something something blah blah servo something blah blah circuit board something motor something blah sensor.”

That should fix yor flkenwrll in a jiffy. 😃
