“ Have I done anything to offend you ?” He asks almost innocently “ really ? yes , you persistently bump into me and expect me to apologise and its very , exasperating to say the least ”. He apologises and tells me how he is embarrassed to have caused me any inconvenience and that he just thought I ’ d respond well to that kind of thing . As I gather from his all too long explanation the problem was that he has read a great deal of these cliché romance novels and it seemed pestering and stalking someone you like was the romantic thing to do to get their attention . He thought I would respond well because he ’ d seen me with a novel more than a few times and assumed they were romance novels and that we were alike . Well , I laid i as gently as I could how he couldn ’ t have been more wrong about me and that I was not interested in him in that way : “ so you think I ’ m very handsome but not sexually attractive ?” he asked as he tried to comprehend what I was saying . I agreed with that and I think he understood even though he still seemed puzzled , I am confident I will not be shoved out of the way anytime soon again . Now where was I before I was rudely interrupted , ah yes be a phoenix and let the love consume me so that I may rise from the ashes into a beautiful loveable creature . I ’ m looking for someone at least my height or taller so that I may be able to shield myself from the strong winds . They should have strong bones and thick skin so that I may be able to snuggle in to them when it ’ s too cold outside . Lastly they should be generous so that I may eat as much as I want without feeling any guilt . How would a guy with a potential to possess all those qualities dress ? A t-shirt , shorts and flip flops – why not ? He has that thick skin to protect him from the wind why bother with wool jerseys and boots ? I suppose according to the more is better principle he should at least wear a skipper jersey . It ’ s 4:30pm I ’ m walking to my apartment not very far from campus . Although it looks like it ’ s already 5:30pm , the sun sets early at this time of the year and it ’ s a bit chilly and dusty and I am thinking of my dinner .
