I have two new male interests, both in Bio. One I seduced into becoming my lab partner,-- well, ok, I asked him if he had a partner and would he like to be mine, and he said ok, and there wasn't actually much sexiness involved, which is too bad because he's unbelievably hot, but you get the point. We'll call him F. F is from Maryland, has the faintest faintest trace of an accent, stands about 2-3 inches taller than me (5'7"), lean physique with nice shoulders and oh F he's so fine, he's so fine he blows my mind!, and he wants to be a geneticist. He's 19. The bad is that although we chatted a bit and complained about the stupidity of our first lesson with the microscopes, there was little sparkage at his part. He rarely looked at me unless we were actually talking, and then it was very class-mate-y talk, not flirty talk. Also, his wanting to be a geneticist means he shouldn't be taking the survey course for biology, but rather the other courses for biological or science majors. He's probably going to leave this class soon.

The second male of interest, S, is a lot different in looks. He's huge, like 6'1" or 6'2" or something, with broad shoulders--- a Riley!type, from the Buffyfan perspective, which is not the body-type I usually prefer on guys. However, he's got a very cute face (cuter than Riley), and muscles to fit his body size, and his name is Russian. He has a California-raised accent and is 19about my age, but a Russian name. Which is cool. Also, we had instant conversation chatting. Specifically, about books. He liked Lord of the Rings, and when I asked him if he liked the movies, he said "Fuck yeah!" And we mutually gushed for a few minutes. It's so cool when you meet fellow fans who are also hot guys. We carried our conversation out of the lab, and I walked with him a ways in the opposite direct of my car, without pause. We were getting into the kind of rapid-fire conversation people get, where they sometimes interrupt each other because they're excited and want to say their opinion, even when they agree. It was fun. We talked about writing (he's an English major and wants to write) and politics. However, I knew it couldn't be perfect. The bomb had to drop, just like Mr.-I-Look-So-Fine-who-wants-to-be-a-geneticist-in-a-higher-level-class. What did Mr. Russian-name-Tolkein-fan-with-the-tight-shirt do wrong?

He pulled out a cigarette. My attraction level plummeted, and I wondered how he could have a chest that muscled for too many years in the future if he kept smoking. But our conversation was still running fun and I enjoyed it for a few minutes more. I think I might have to cross him off though. I won't go out with a smoker, and I'm sure he would not appreciate my reforming him, so he'll have to be my lab-conversation-buddy instead. That will be fun too.

Go you for sticking to your guns re: the not dating boys who smoke thing. However, that makes me wonder about myself that I usually prefer to date boys that DO smoke. Huh. I'm weird. Maybe it's because I smoke too.

Maybe it's because I smoke too.

That doesn't sound like a weird reason to me. I think if I smoked I wouldn't have any compunction dating other smokers. What I don't get is that my mom married my dad while he was still a smoker, and she never was. I guess that's love for you.

That's to bad... (re: class move & smoking), BUT maybe you could make such an impression on Mr.-I-Look-So-Fine-who-wants-to-be-a-geneticist-in-a-higher-level-class before he leaves that you'll start to talk outside of class. Bring on the sexiness. ;-)

...Or maybe the Riley!type will miraculously stop smoking?

That depends on three things, I think. How much longer he stays in the class (1 day? 3?), if I can find where he sits during daily lecture (lab is only once a week), and the fact that wearing sexy clothes in lab is inconvenient.

Yes, flirting in class is very difficult with many obstacles. I should know. But I think you have a good shot. Hope it takes him at least three days to get out of the class! And hey, what's a little inconvience for sexy clothing to draw in Mr.-I-Look-So-Fine-who-wants-to-be-a-geneticist-in-a-higher-level-class. Good luck!

See, you're smart. My ex was an extremely heavy smoker, and that didn't bother me at the time because I was all 'ooh, you're the most wonderful person ever', but thinking back, it was really inconsiderate of him to smoke around me all the time and never once ask me if it was okay or not. I think I cut ten years off my life with all the passive smoking. So yeah, good for you for saying no to smoking :)

If yuo guys were dating, I would think that'd be something you talk about at some point. It didn't bother me that he smoked while we walked, because it was outside and I was upwind, luckily. But I know if I ended up dating a smoker I'd probably turn into a resentful nag, always telling the person to stop, and who wants to be that?

He always maintained that he was going to give up once he got his full-time job, and stupid me believed me. One year later, and he's an even heavier somoker than he was then. But hey, doesn't matter anymore.
