I didn't say it happens OFTEN. If it did, divorce rates wouldn't be at 50 percent, right?

Sometimes we're dumb enough to think the cute but boring guy will eventually turn into a good conversationalist if we just wait long enough. I spent two years in my 20s breaking my own heart over a guy, who, every time I actually talked to him, bored me to tears. But in my head, he was the most interesting guy ever! No one that attractive could really be that boring! Yeesh.

Fortunately, he had the good sense not to ask me out ever (probably because I bored him). He eventually married a really nice former coworker and last I heard, they're very happy. I can't imagine what they talk about though.
