First Class

School's going well.  Three classes at the moment with an 8-week class starting in late October.  So far, the only class that has been problematic for homework is math (Differential Equations), and that's not even been that bad.

On a different tact, though... there's a cute guy in my engineering class.

I randomly sat next to him the first day - honest, it was random.  It's mid-day, and I have to leave work to head over.  Depending on traffic and how long it takes to find a parking spot, I'm often getting to class just a few minutes before it starts.  The first day of class, I was there about 5 minutes early, and one of the few spots left was next to him. It was also at the front of the class (which I almost always pick for ADHD and glasses reasons), so it was the logical choice.

Anyway, we've pretty much kept the same seating.  We chat before class, goof off a little during (there's a lot of group work), and chat a little afterwards as we're leaving.  If I have a physical type, he's probably it (kind of, mid-western "corn fed" or California surfer look; could go either way), but really he's just got that "thing" in his personality that I click on.

No clue if he's gay, so of course the odds are against me there.  He doesn't wear a wedding ring and hasn't mentioned dating life at all, but then neither have I.  We just progressed to barely talking about work yesterday, so maybe we'll get more into that tomorrow (class is two days a week).  I think he's closer to my age than not - he has one degree already and something he said made me think he's mid-30s.  Yes, I looked him up on Facebook, but his profile is locked down (which is a good thing; too many people expose too much); that's also an indication that he's likely older, as most college-students I know don't restrict access very much.

I've briefly tossed out the notion of getting together outside of class to work on homework if he wants, but he works on weekends whereas that's pretty much the only time I'm not working.  So, not sure if that will happen.

In all likelihood nothing will come of it, but it's so rare that I meet someone I'm actually attracted to that that in itself is kind of fun.  There's no danger of me making him uncomfortable - quite the opposite, the danger is in me not pursuing it enough to even give it a chance.  But there it is.
