No... it hasn't gotten to the crush level yet. I'm still hyper-alert for red flags. But it DOES give me some motivation to haul myself out at the "butt crack of dawn," as my bf's daughter says.
I do admire really, really competent people. Whether that admiration will morph into a crush has yet to be seen. Hairdog is watching me, so I have to be good.
ETA: I sit in the front row because the room is very dim because of the computer screens and I don't hear very well, especially if I can't see the person's face clearly. Whatthehe11... I'm not shy. We DO make a lot of eye contact during class. Having been a teacher VERY briefly myself in college, seeing an interested face somewhere in that mass of adolescent faces makes all the difference in the world. One tends to play to it. At least I did. And my face isn't adolescent... I get his jokes and references. babblebabblebabble
Speaking of BF, I got home this evening, and he was over at his place next door. I let the dogs out, and they went flying over there. A little while later, he walked over while I was putting together my din-din. I asked him if he wanted any. He said, no he just came over to get some charcoal because he was grilling a little steak. (I think he was going to ask me to join him, but changed direction when he saw that I was already cooking.) We chatted for a while, and he left. He's spending the night and the doggies are with him. THIS IS SO GREAT!!! I never dreamed in a million years that this sitch could be shifted and resolved this way-- nevernevernever. It's enough to make you believe in the power of prayer. (Thanks, RJ.) Which I already believe in anyway.
