dear internet,
Here are the pros:
1) He makes me laugh, a lot.
2) He has pretty eyes.
3) He's one of the most sincere, honest and genuine guys I've ever met.
4) He has this grin that makes me weak at the knees.
5) We're friends, and we've shared some fairly personal stuff.
6) He likes dogs.
Here are the cons:
1) I'm a lot smarter than he is. (Book smart, that is.)
2) We have totally different lives, backgrounds and world views, and we live in totally different universes: He =farm boy/ truck driver / mechanic. I = perpetual student/ intellectual/ artist type.
3) He's a bad kisser.
4) He has a small, but noticeable, pot belly.
5) He's a homophobe.
6) He doesn't read.
7) We're not really interested in any of the same things.
8) He puts ketchup on his pasta.
9) Honestly, I don't think he's all that into me.
Okay, thanks for wading through that.. My question is this: given that I am fully aware of all of the above, why can't I stop thinking about him?
