Thanks, but she’s not really an option for me. Not only does she live on the other side of the country, but so does her live-in boyfriend. They make a darn cute couple, I must say.

Oh, yes. The head of the company I used to work for–I had a mad crush on him just because he was so pretty. I would have bet a lot of money that he was gay–he had that kind of drop-dead gorgeous, European, looks-fantastic-in-a-suit thing going on. Dark hair, great smile…oh, yeah, he was nice. The crush was purely aesthetic, though (as all my crushes are, since I’m happily married and not interested in anyone else except to admire their attractiveness). Then he got married, so I guess he wasn’t gay after all. 🙂

I saw a picture of him recently, and he doesn’t look that good anymore. Still nice, but much more conventionally attractive (which doesn’t do it for me).

There was also a guy I went to school with–I saw a picture of him a couple of years ago and I’m not exaggerating–he was _the_ most attractive guy I’ve ever seen, bar none. Just absolutely gorgeous. But it was a bit of a staged picture–he’s still nice looking in “real life,” but not _that_ nice. And he’s definitely very gay.

I guess I go for guys who are either gay or look like they should be. 🙂

I don’t think you have to worry about it. Just smile and leave the kitchen knife at home.

I thought of another one. Last year I left my apartment on a sunny Saturday afternoon, the first non-rainy day in over a month. I expected to see people all over the place, but for some reason the streets were completely empty. I don’t know, maybe the zombie apocalypse was nigh.

About 3/4 of a mile from home, I saw someone walking my way. From a distance, she looked really cute. Probably a college girl, as I live in a college neighborhood. I decided to stop her and talk to her. Halfway through introducing myself, two things occured to me. One, she was a few years older than I had thought. Two, she was FAR more beautiful that I expected. Like, absolutely stunning. Victoria’s Secret stunning.

I tried to think of something witty and charming to say, but it was too late. My circuits had already been fried. We had maybe ten seconds of small talk before I excused myself. I’ve been hoping to run into her again but I haven’t.

There’s a student who goes to school where I work who’s in his 20s and to the extent that stunning attractiveness can be objective he is objectively stunningly attractive. And knows it.

It’s amazing though how much his attractiveness (and how much other things) fall the instant he opens his mouth. He’s a Palin worshiping Tea Partier. If we ever hooked up he’d have to (first turn straight and then reveal an interest in overweight guys twice his age and then finally) remain quiet other than monosyllabic grunts.

…Which has its own attraction, I’m sure. 😉

Turn _straight_?

You have unusual fetishes.

I presently work with this women who has this Evangeline Lilly thing going on. But way hotter. She’s so sweet, nice ,friendly down to earth, awesomse sense of humour and one of the things that makes her so much more attractive she isn’t one of these people that have an air about them that thier looks is part of her personality it’s like it means nothing to her. Double hot.

I don’t think she realizes everytime I see her my heart stops or when I talk to her I can get lost in her eyes but have to remind myself 3 second gazes tops or I’ll get the psycho label.

Yeah, like my sister’s daughter. I wish I wasn’t related… and 30 years younger…
