guy update

'sup, my homies?

It's time for a Guy Update.

No, friends, I did not end up running into one of those Attractive Guys that I mentioned earlier - the ones that sat near me at the restaurant.  Alas.  But I have seen the potential Hosts again.  I do really think they are hosts of some sort - they are pushing something for women, and the women aren't interested, ha.  I saw the matching suit fellas again the other night trying to give Korean ladies flyers -- what gives, no flyers for me?  I was crushed by exclusion.  Joke!  But (non-joke) I was sad that my curiosity was not sated and that I couldn't ask my companions about it because my companions did not have the English ability to answer my question.  Maybe!  Maybe the suited fellas are trying to get chicks to come to a booking club?!  This is a possibility!  But how would the booking club get hot guys to work for it?  What other use would they have aside from recruiting women, since the club makes money off of men?!  Oh man.  Such questions.

Fact!  There are several -- several! -- attractive co-workers at my fine place of employment.  Why?  I do not know!  There are not as many Hot Male Teachers in the US as there are over here, it seems.  Is something wrong with these fellows?  Do they really want to be teachers, or is this a fall-back, or prep for something else?  What is going on?  Before you actually answer me, let me say that "Yes, I do know that teaching is a desirable field in Korea."  But really, it's not as Snazzy as it's rumored to be, and it's certainly not a position of power - unless you are the principal.  So why are these guys here?  Do they love Children and Learning?

Anyway, I shouldn't be one to look a gift horse in the mouth.  I get to glance at these people all of the time.  Isn't that nice?  Glance in the lunchroom.  Glance in the hallway.  Overall, haha, I actually do not get to see these people much, and they, in general, do not care about my existence.  I have a theory that the hottest of the hot has something against me - he is colder and more disrespectful to me than any of the teachers in the entire school.  Is he snooty because he's hot, or because he secretly knows that I am confused because he is hot and at a school, and therefore I believe that he has a major disability/defect/etc. of some sort that I just don't know about yet?  I like to think the latter, but it is probably the former.  (My entire set of assumptions regarding male teachers only applies to Korea, btw. )

But!  But.  I did get to meet a cute co-worker recently.  Cute cute cute.  I am confused as to whether or not he has a girlfriend - I think he said that he didn't, but I could have misunderstood.  I know that there are probably quite a few female teachers crushing on him, ha.  It's understandable.  He's very considerate, adorable as all get out, has a beautiful smile, nice voice.  Let's call him Aurelius, just in case I ever get the opportunity to interact with (and report on, hah) him again.  Do I have a crush on him?  Nope!  I am only crushing on Grocery Boy at the moment.  ^^

You know who is super nice?  I'll tell you!  A man I'll call Antonio is super nice.  Antonio continually pulled me out of the way of people/cars when we were walking in a group a while back.  I appreciate that.  I'm new here, disoriented as all get out, and easily distracted by flashing lights - which are everywhere.  There weren't any close calls, ha, but I'm sure he saved me from some annoyed honking at the very least.

What else, what else - Oh.  Well, hmm.  I could Rant a little, but I'm not sure if that's wise.  Hmm.  Conclusion:  it's not, ha, but I'll do it just a bit! ^^  Here's the sitch -

Someone is trying to set me up with someone else - let's call the guy Alexander - and he didn't ask me what I think about this process.  He just said, "Alexander likes you" and then proceeded to act on his own to get us together.  I dislike this - if I liked the guy, ha, it might be different, but I do not like Alexander and I do not like being blatantly coerced.  Matchmaker made the guy I was talking to -- and enjoying talking to! -- get up and move to make a spot for Alexander!  Not like, "Hey, scoot over one so there is room," but "Hey, get up and switch chairs so Alexander can sit next to KP," -- super obvious stuff like that.  (I am KP, btw.  FYI.  LOL? ... )  So, that is a little annoying.  I need to figure out how to deal with Alexander.  He's nice, but I could only like him as a friend.  If he wants to be friends, cool, but if not, I'm happy with dropping him.  Sounds shallow, ha, but it will save us both time if I get direct, I think.  How to do it, though!  And minimize the impact on my social circle?  Complications galore.

I feel like I am leaving someone out?  Hm.  Well, no.  I have a couple of male friends, but at the moment, I think they are just friends.  It's hard for me to know at this point in time, given their background, behaviors, etc.  Anyway, that's all for right now!  I'll update more when I've interacted further with the opposite sex, ha.
