an old roommate of mine used to say that, at any given moment, you can only be sweet on one person. as someone who falls in love every week and runs a pretty busy racket of crushes and stalkings, i say that you can, in fact, be sweet on lots of people. unless, of course, most of those people turn out to creepies.
my blogmate says that she's no longer good at screening for creepies, on account of her ongoing relationship with mmmb (saving for later the rant about why she gets to stumble into a romantic weekend in milwaukee while i'm stuck at home working on my CV). so again, as someone who is always smitten, i think my screening mechanism is working relatively well, particularly as i seem to have some kind of magnetic effect on creepies... as detailed by the following story:
new guy at work. cute, very cute, though he pays more attention to his hair than i'd like. i dutifully stared him down at various meetings until one of my colleagues totally busted me looking at his butt. i can't even pretend like i wasn't planning the wedding. when he started staring back my weird spidy sense told me that i should probably do a little more investigating. so i conducted an extensive survey, by which i mean i asked 2 people, neither of whom had anything even remotely nice to say about him. the funny thing is that their descriptions were totally different from each other, but between them it really wasn't pretty. come to think of it, he said some pretty stupid things at those meetings.
from this i have drawn the following conclusions:
1) don't trust anyone who spends that much time on his hair
2) figure out if the guy is a creepie before falling in love in love with him
3) if you're going to check out someone's ass, try to be subtle about it
