Dumb but people do it. I even had a guy friend tell me that once. We were dancing at a club and he told me we have to go out more often because I was a "babe magnet". Ok, whatever...

The Formula Electric meeting was short tonight. Talking mostly about a few tuning things that need to be worked out from what was found during testing and then lots of travel/shipping stuff. I walked tonight since it was wet and I did not wat to get soaking on the bike. So I walked and brought an umbrella.
On the way back I saw one of my better friends, who happens to be a girl. I walked some with her and talked. We had a nice, normal, meaningful conversation. Mostly about engineering/school stuff but also our goals for careers and our interests. I've talked to her before like that. I don't have a problem talking to girls. It's just girls that I don't know (and who I want to know).
I feel lots of conflicting things right now.
I really should not be surprised about this following thought though. It goes back to the same thoughts as "never meet your heroes" or "the grass is always greener on the other side."
On the one hand it seems the more I talk to girls I think look great, the more I feel that interest waning. I still feel awkward and like I am crossing some line about not approaching someone better looking than you.
On the other hand, the more I talk with my friend who is a girl, the more I realise that that is what I am looking for. I feel more attracted to her because of the companionship. I feel like I am letting a great opportunity escape me. That I am ignoring something special that is right in front of me. That maybe physical beauty is not absolute. It is all in what I see. And my perception of what I see can change.
Why can't I talk like that with girls I am physically attracted to?
