Love at first sight?

33. That happened to me once.

A young woman I did not know walked into my junior-year honors poli-sci seminar when I was in college (I was 27 at the time - I started college at 25). Immediately I felt like someone had cracked me smartly over the head with a 2 x 4 and felt dazed and zoned out. We became somewhat friendly - the honors program was a very small place and we were both in Campus Democrats - but nothing ever came of it, mainly because I am (and was then though I didn't know the term) Asperger's and can't read people or initiate interactions in most cases, most especially with women I find attractive and interesting.

I wound up having to go through junior and senior years together in college and we wound up admitted to the same law school, though I seldom saw her there. I still look up her faculty profile on the web site of the law school where she teaches every now and then.

Sigh.

Yeah, it can happen.
