There’s this boy I sit next to in my lab. He’s not particularly handsome, but he’s smart, talented, funny and has a good heart. That may sound cliche, but I mean it in the most genuine of respects. He snuck me into a basketball game one day after class. It was the most fun I had since I could remember. Although I’m four years older than him, his maturity and kindness astounds me. I stood next to him, watching in amazement how this person enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and decided to bring me along as a lark. I’m not old, but he made me feel young again.
My boyfriend is two years older than me. He’s absolutely handsome. I’m always chasing after him, cleaning up his messes and forgiving him for his shortcomings and errors. Any problems we do have, he causes them. I stay home, waiting most of the time, always bracing myself for the next blow. Although I have almost infinite patience for him, he seems to lack any empathy when I need his support. He always makes me feel older than I should simply because one of us has to be responsible, and that burden falls onto me.
I find it so odd that someone so physically attractive can have such a rotten soul, while the one who lacks the physical beauty is made beautiful because his soul reflects outward.

Word of advice before it is too late… dump your boyfriend and get to know your lab partner more and spend more time with him until you are aware what kind of feelings you have towards him and take it from there
Oh, I wanted to know more about him. But I don’t think I’ll have a chance. We worked together on our last project, and that’s pretty much the last time I think I’ll ever see him…bit depressing.
I agree with Responder #1. However, you said that you might not see him again? Well that’s a shame. But I still think you should dump your BF. When you feel old with the person you’re with, it’s just a sign that it’s heading to disaster. We all need someone who makes us feel young and fresh. You need that spontaiety in life. You’ve got a long way ahead of you.
And yes, outer beauty isn’t the ingredient for a good heart. We’re always compensated with something else. If you’re beautiful, you might have a bad heart just like your bf.
im pretty sure u will still want that stud bf of yours. am i right?
