Okay, so this is going to be a quick bit of an update. Sorry I haven't been around in a while... Music theatre has taken over my life. I've also sunk to a new low in that I'm part of a betting pool on the Tony awards. No shit.

So, I finally got the courage up to ask out a friend of mine who I've been sweet on since the first dance class in the ninth grade, when he couldn't pirouette and fell over once. We've maintained an arm's length friendship wrought with sexual tension throughout high school and still see each other in shows, but I was still pretty surprised when he accepted. We dated for six days and then he dumped my ass, initially siting that he just wasn't as attracted to me as he thought, but later confiding that he's just not "ready" for a relationship... Which I sadly believe.

I've been fascinated with this odd week and it got me thinking about why I like the men I like, so I've made a little list of Claire-related romance issues.

-I know I like a guy when the things they do make me put my hand on my colar bones.
-I'm attracted to guys who remind me of Muppets.
-If I'm in a dance class and there's a guy a beat behind in the routine, chances are that boy will be kissed by me at some point.
-Everyone I've ever dated has had a funny walk.
-My biggest romantic problem is that I frequently confuse attraction with pity.
-I'm attracted to guys with high-ish voices.
-I'm always a little too much like the guys who I date.
-I enjoy self-depricating humour from guys.
-I always date musicians, or the highly musically inclined.
-I date guys who would not look out of place wearing a bowtie.
-I love it when men have shakey hands/sweaty palms.
-I muthafuckin' love redheads.
-I have a thing for mama's boys.
-Everyone I date has a geeky obsession.
-I love guys who are genuinely surprised when they do something cool/right.
-I love geeky laughs with snorts.
-I love forehead kisses.
-I love freckly bodies.
-I love long boy feets.
-I love quick shy kisses.

Damnit.
