oh my!
last week, one of my colleagues told me there was an 'absolutely gorgeous' guy in the German class. personally, i hadn't noticed, but she assured me i should have a look at him, and a little later, i got to. i felt a little silly, as i realised that my colleague was positioned in the best possible way to see him come out of his class and it's not really my thing, making it obvious i'm looking at someone. from the very short glance i got of him, yeah, he was all right. after a few days, i realised 'all right' did not cover it. yes, he was gorgeous. and then this morning...
this morning, he smiled at me. well, he also did the other days, but today i was actually looking at him when he did so, as opposed to being in the middle of something else and pretending not to care. and let me tell you that when this guy smiles at you, your legs wobble (and until today, i really thought that was just a figure of speech) and you completely forget what you were thinking/doing, and you feel like a complete idiot for about 10 mns thereafter as you walk around with a silly grin on your face - just cos he smiled at you. nevertheless, you can't stop yourself from looking at him: to my great shame, i have to admit i then made sure i'd be sitting in a prime spot to be able to see him leave the school a little later, and my heart just skipped a beat when he didn't fail to say goodbye.
this is such complete idiocy. i mean, for all we know, he's the meanest guy in town, has no morals, cheats on his girlfriend (lucky, lucky girl! - being his girlfriend, i mean) and god know what other horrible things he's into. or at least, that's what i'm trying to convince myself of. it can't be good for my mental health going around hoping to catch a glimpse of him... and i'm so not about to imitate my boss (she's 52, he's about 30), who apparently went up to him and introduced herself: 'hi, i'm x, i'm the manager of the school. i have a few questions i'd like to ask you.' poor guy. all the girls must stare at him everywhere he goes. i can't be fun. well, i'm sure it's nice some of the time, but i know i feel really uncomfortable when people make it too obvious they think i look nice, like a student i had who basically stared at me throughout our 1.5-hour lesson...in full view of the 5 other students. it was just a bit too much.
