I loved watching him dance.  He was good.  And he was hot, in a way similar to the way that vin diesel is hot.  (most notably, lotsa muscle).  He also smoked.  I combined these two datapoints (muscles, smokes) and assumed that he was dumb, and must be uninteresting to talk to.  I didn&#8217;t say a word to him, I figured only bad things could result.<\/p>\n<p>Well, one day, in another setting, he noticed me.  He was friendly, I was friendly back, conversation ensued.  He showed a reasonable understanding of certain intellectual topics.  I ended up driving him back to his place, and on the way, I admitted I&#8217;d watched him dance for months.  He said he hadn&#8217;t noticed, and then asked me why on earth I hadn&#8217;t talked to him before.   I blushed a little, and told him the truth in a very indirect fashion.  He summed it up with an outraged and amused &#8220;You thought I was a fluff chick!&#8221;  Which was really what it boiled down to.  <\/p>\n<p>Good, if brief, things ensued, and he moved to nyc a week later (it was something he told me about shortly after we started talking).<\/p>\n<p>I did something similar with Mr Diesel, and another acquaintance who shall remain nameless.
