So there’s a girl who sits next to me in one of my classes (there always is), and we do a lot of group work together. She’s one of the best partners I’ve ever had; very intelligent and motivated. The way she speaks is amazing, she uses words normal people don’t, and she pulls them off like she was saying them out of the womb. I wish she could be my partner, not just in school, but in life. I want her next to me all day every day just to make absurd comments. Like if we were conjoined twins, that would be alright to me. If she was a brain that talked to me and I held it in my abdomen, I would be ok with that.

I was just telling this to a friend today, and I was telling her how strange it is that I would enjoy all of these things, but that I’m not attracted to her in any way. Perhaps this is the correct intention, I said.

I think it would be awesome to just have these kinds of feelings for someone and be like “OK, lets get married now” but that’s not how it works according to the desirability equation, which I have written about previously.
