I've been doing really, really well with not nursing any frivolous crushes, and I plan to keep it that way. But noooo, you had to show up with your winning smile and dark good looks to try to bring out my inner 14-year-old.
I'm that girl who always raises her hand to answer. Especially in the Portuguese class I'm auditing. When I want to learn something, I'm going to learn it. But when you gave your little "special guest" presentation today and asked review questions, I didn't dare.
Later on, when I absconded to the faculty lounge to eat my lunch and read Borges in solitude, you sauntered in to warm up your lunch and we chatted for a bit. Before you left, you thanked me for my company and said you enjoyed our conversation in a charming accent.
I know you were just being polite, Handsome Brazilian, but I'm going to have to ask you to stop being adorable. I have work to do, and I don't want to have to start worrying about what I look like if I happen to run into you in the lab or in the lounge somewhere. The only thing you might be useful for is to motivate me to improve my dismal Portuguese. Other than that, keep your disarming smile and your easygoing charm to yourself. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Me
