Breathtaking Eros

Men. And attraction. From the get-go I have been a quiet girl. From the get-go, I have been attracted to the more energetic types. Popular guys, outgoing guys, guys that definitely have a spark inside them and a whole other labyrinth past their outer façade. That is always very enticing. I love to see the enigma inside people. Especially those who are so outgoing that their inner self is just that much more interesting. Luckily for me, some of them have been attracted to me, too.

One of the first guys I went out on a date with was a drummer. He was extremely talented, quite attractive however big-boned, and in general an entertaining, engaging person to be around. As is typical of me, I was very surprised when he approached me and we went out to the movies, and so on. Things didn’t progress much beyond that. I just wasn’t as attracted to him as he was to me, and he was more shallow than I’d have liked.

A long-term crush I had was on a sexy skinny goth boy. He was gorgeous, flamboyant, artistic, photogenic, and unique in a genuine way. Black on him was sexy. Now him I actually began to pursue, except we never went on an actual date, more just hung out together. We went to almost all of my high school dances, and that was fun. He lived far away, though, and it was a pain getting together. That didn’t go anywhere.

Ninja was another person who was firey, talented, attractive, and overwhelmingly complicated. Exactly the sort of person I liked to be around. What draws a person like him to a person like me? Opposites attract, right? I guess they did. However our relationship fizzled, the fact remains that my trend continued.

And it continues still. Events I cannot yet articulate are unfolding… I’ll see about explaining them later.
