Last night. I’m on the phone, 3-way, with “Maria” and Bro. We’re watching the votes come in. Maria in Chicago. Me and Bro in New York. All three of us are multi-tasking: we watch the Democrats and Republicans on television, and we talk about boys over the phone. “So,” says Maria, “our office has this thing where they posts company photos of all staff members on the website.” The first thought that comes to my mind? “Oh my god, if I were you, I would soooo scan through all of them to check out the hot guys on staff!!!!”
Boy crazy. I’ve been this way since puberty. Just to see how far off the deep end I’ve gone, I take Cosmo’s Are You Completely Boy Crazy quiz on iVillage. The question that seals my fate is: “How many guy friends have you crossed the kissing line with?” (A) None — you would never risk the friendship for some fooling around; (B) It’s more like how many haven’t you crossed the line with; or, (C) Just two during wild nights out. My answer? Um … well … What was the question again? ;-) In any case, in the end, they rate me to be a “clear-headed chick”. According to Cosmo, when it comes to guys I “know when to work it and when to walk away [...] Yes, there are moments when you morph into man-obsession mode, but they are only occasional. That means every night out on the town doesn’t have to be about finding a man, and when you do, you don’t lose yourself totally. You exude confidence — the “I’m fine on my own” kind — that makes men fall even harder for you because they respect you. This has a brilliant bonus: It lets you pick and chose ’til you find your soul mate.” Hmmmmm …. How about you, dear readers? Are you boy (or girl) crazy?

I’m sorry, what was the question? I got stuck on “3-way.”
I am way boy crazy. I was a late bloomer into the boy crazy world and making up for every minute LOL :)
MamaChristy: Ooooh, naughty girl. ;)
History Chic: I think I’m catching up for lost time, too. I’ve always liked boys, but I didn’t have my first boyfriend until I was a sophomore in high school, and the next one came a few years after that.
I didn’t have my first boyfriend till my sr year in high school (my first kiss was then too). I was so sheltered growing up (which I appreciate now)!!! So I now have to look around at all the boys LOL
Our stories are similar. :)
i decided to take that ivillage test as well and guess what – i’m a clear-headed chick too… so i excude confidence, eh? nice to know. as for boy crazy: give me eye-candy any time of the day but otherwise i think i’ve become rather moderate… it’s that whole ‘fine on my own thing’ y’know? ;)
Yeah, the test is pretty funny isn’t it? I’m not so sure that I “exude confidence” and I’m not convinced that my bouts with “man-obsession” are as infrequent as they should be either. ;)
Clear-headed or not, everyone feels lonely sometimes. And, lately, I’ve been feeling that way more than usual.
