Attraction is an interesting thing. As quickly as you have it, you can lose it just as fast. This is especially true if the other person does something to send you running in the other direction.
A few weeks ago, Liza and I were hanging out at one of our local haunts for a "girl's night out", when I spotted a striking man walking in. He was tall and well built. His smile was mega watt. As Liza and I danced to songs and chatted, my eyes still managed to find him.
After returning to our seats after some spirited dancing to "Footloose", Liza and I sat down.
"Liza, look at him," I said subtly pointing.
"Is he with that lady?" she asked pointing to a leggy blond vying for his attention.
I'd seen her all over most of the unattached men in the place, so I knew better.
"No, she's all over everybody," I said.
The handsome stranger now had his back turned to greet a friend. When the friend left for another part of the bar, he began to turn around. My delight quickly turned into disgust, when he turned around with his forefinger firmly lodged up his nose. I was beyond grossed out. He didn't seem to be bothered either way.
"Liza, look!" I loudly whispered over the music.
"What?!" she asked.
"He was prospecting!" I shouted while making a nose picking motion with my finger.
She scowled almost immediately.
"That's so gross! Are you kidding me?!"
"Well, the thrill is gone," I said.
No matter how attractive a person is, bad etiquette of hygiene will easily diminish their sparkle.
