GirlontheLam Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 OK I thought I'd share this story about myself. I tend to get crushes based on completely stupid (or maybe shallow) is the right word here. Here is the latest one. A couple weeks ago I went to an outing with an acquaintance. We are still in the getting to know you phase. We know we have stuff in common, but haven't spent much time together. It was this all day thing with a picnic, then a trip to the bar etc with a mixed group. So I ended up meeting a bunch of new people. One guy there, totally not my type at all was there. Chatted with him. He seemed like a nice guy. End of story. We go to the bar, and a few of us pick songs for the juke box. It took a while. And I was shocked and amazed that the juke box had my favorite band. My fave band is let's just say a little esoteric, especially if you are american. So to date, I have met approximately 10 people that knew who they are and listened to them. It could even be 20, but not likely. And half of them were from Europe. (The band is European, came out in the late 80s). They weren't al that popular in the US. So the idea of seeing them in a juke box is weird. And this wasn't a digital one with 8 million songs. So we pick out our songs, go back to the group and recap our selections. I commented how random the jukebox was, it had a weird mix, and I had picked out some slightly out there songs. My fave band of course, and another super indie album. So as I mention my fave band, the guy chimes in and says "I love them!" And you can guess what happens next! I was totally excited and we get into a music conversation. Turns out he is a DJ, we like a ton of the same music (the weirder stuff). So we exchange info, and I tell him to keep me posted when he spins next. Of course now I am totally smitten, and he isn't even my type. The question of the weekend? Go to the party he is spinning at this weekend or not. I am a little overbooked. Spill the beans, how often do you get unlikely crushes?
