    AwesomeBird got a reaction from grlwithadream in MFA Acting Applicants??   
    Figured I would post here for any applicants for next year looking for answers like I was just a few months ago. UNC offered me a spot in their program. Two days ago. A week before the start of the semester. No, they didn't give me anybody else's spot. I made an initial impression, I kept in contact, and remained enthusiastic about the program and receptive to any communication. They made room for me when there was none. Now, I am officially an acting MFA student. Well.... when I repack my bulldog and whatever else I can fit in my car and make it back East I will be... ~deep breath~.
     
     
    Anyway. Keep the faith. Hold on to your hope, even when there's only enough to fit between your pointer and your thumb. When you least expect it, He shines his light.

    OooOOooo...  now this is interesting. I say embrace it. I mean... don't ACT on it, but there's nothing wrong with an INNOCENT sense of flirtation; in fact it's fun, healthy, exciting.  I could NEVER understand the notion that once you start dating someone/get married/committ to a relationship any sense of sexual attraction to anyone else is unacceptable and should never be felt and if it is it should be pushed deep deep down in the pit of your soul where it will turn into a rotting repression that will eventually lead to cancer and certain death.... okay, I'm exaggerating slighty, but in all honestly, it's human nature. Don't feel bad or guilty or nervous. Enjoy it. Really. Oh.. and watch American Beauty. Note, he (Kevin Spacey) never seals the deal, but the awakening he has simply from the feeling and fantasy of sexual attraction is enough to completely change his life and perspective.

    Wow... I'm sorry, but that is such a limited idea of flirtation.... I'm basically saying enjoy the relationship you have with your PI and stop worrying so much about consequences, hesitations, threats, and ESPECIALLY what other people are thinking of you. You two are adults, yes? There's nothing wrong with attraction and sexual tension in healthy doses. There exists a line. Don't cross it and you're fine. That's all I'm saying.

    Seriously- why can't people just let people be who they are and not date them... ? More irritated by that link than anything else. Just sounds like whinning.... she "lost respect" for him. So judgemental... people try too hard to fit themselves into relationships they don't belong in, like jamming two misfit puzzle pieces together. If you don't want to date a student or a professor... then don't.

    You people need more religion in your lives. Here are some words of wisdom from the reverend Donne.

    I can love both fair and brown,
    Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays,
    Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays,
    Her whom the country formed, and whom the town,
    Her who believes, and her who tries,
    Her who still weeps with spongy eyes,
    And her who is dry cork, and never cries;
    I can love her, and her, and you, and you,
    I can love any, so she be not true.

    Will no other vice content you?
    Will it not serve your turn to do as did your mothers?
    Or have you all old vices spent, and now would find out others?
    Or doth a fear that men are true torment you?
    O we are not, be not you so;
    Let me, and do you, twenty know.
    Rob me, but bind me not, and let me go.
    Must I, who came to travail thorough you,
    Grow your fixed subject, because you are true?

    Venus heard me sigh this song,
    And by love's sweetest part, variety, she swore,
    She heard not this till now; and that it should be so no more.
    She went, examined, and returned ere long,
    And said, Alas! some two or three
    Poor heretics in love there be,
    Which think to ’stablish dangerous constancy.
    But I have told them, Since you will be true,
    You shall be true to them who are false to you.

    Too bad your PI is married and you're involved. Otherwise, you might've just found a less competitive way to a tenure-track position (the spousal hire). Ah well. Just establish some clear personal boundaries (in your head and possibly with your SO) and make sure you stay within them. What munchlax did seems wise.
     
    Now I wish I were in a field with attractive PIs!

    This thread disgusts me. I honestly believe you shouldn't FEEL attracted to someone other than your SO, which apparently you people are. It is okay to recognize that someone is attractive, but to actively think and dream about it is repulsive.
     
    Apparently it takes a certain kind of good person to be able to be loyal in action and thought. I'm glad both me and my SO are like this.
