The Opposite Sex

Have you ever been interested in someone of the opposite sex (or same sex depending on your orientation) and known that they were out of your reach but still had hope? It’s kind of like the whole college application process, right? You apply to schools you’re pretty sure you’ll get into and really want to go to. You apply to schools that you are certain you’ll get into, but aren’t too thrilled about going there – safety schools. And you apply to schools that you really want to get into, but are slightly out of your reach – reach schools.

I think guys can fall into those same categories. There are the guys who you’re pretty sure are interested in you, and you could date them if you wanted. There are guys who would definitely date you, but you’re not too excited about dating them. Then there are those gorgeous, smart, athletic, nice guys who you would love to date, but seem slightly out of reach.

I met a guy who falls into the last category this weekend…I think. I secretly hope that he falls into the first category, and is truly as nice as he seems, but there’s no telling yet. It’s too early. He is very handsome, athletic and nice, albeit quiet at times. It wouldn't be so bad if he fell into that last category though...a lot of people get into their reach schools, right? Our interaction this weekend spawned this whole thought process, so I thought I’d share. I’ll keep you updated.
