Do the small things excite you sometimes?

The other day I was walking in a store and this attractive guy was two aisles over from me, near the end cap. He looked at me briefly and a minute later when I was right next to him , strolling by, he gave me a big smile. He was really cuteeee🥰 I was kind of half smiling, but because I was going by fairly quickly I didn't get a chance to return the smile fully. I hate that!!! Plus occasionally I just look down because I'm so fucking shy. But it felt so good in that moment. Being someone panicked about dating, feeling not enough, for a smile to occur from a cute guy? Made my WEEK!!!!💓🥹

Now if he talked to me I would have been incredibly nervous. That's what I need to change. I'm tired of being scared of love or if I'm enough. But that day, I was really happy.

You can't keep passing up these opportunities. Smile back, it's easy

@JohnnyNoir that's a rather simplistic and unhelpful comment. Telling her what she can and cant do and then belittling her capabilities. I bet youre one if those blokes who tells women theyd look so much better if they smiled.

@JohnnyNoir Well it's not easy when you feel devoid of being a human. They think they're looking at a person, but they're not. Not a full person .
But I was half smiling as I mentioned above thank goodness, I just didn't get to fully grin. But he surely made my day. My week ! What I need also is to practice talking to guys more too. That makes me so nervous especially if they're attractive 😫
