Dinner

[serafina20]

I was feeling a little better this evening, so I was able to go out to dinner with the family and eat *gasp* real food. Well, sort of. Vegetable soup that was more vegetables than soup, and macaori which was just pasta with some cheese sprinkled on it. It wasn't very flavorful.

Weird thing: the dude who sat us? Kept staring at me. Like, eye contact from the moment I walked in until I sat. It was very disconcerting, but I figured I was just imagining it. Then, my mom leans over and says, "Um, was that guy looking at you a lot?" My sister noticed it to. I don't think my dad heard us talking.

I think that, both times in my life random guys have noticed me, i've looked like a mess. The first time, I'd run to Rite-Aid for something. I wasn't wearing make up, my clothes were messy, and my hair was in a pony tail. The guy behind the register (who i guess I went to high school with) asked me out. This time, my hair was probalby sticking straight up becuase I've been sleeping all day, I was tired and headachy, I get stared out. Now, it's possible I had something stare-worth on my face, but since no one said anything, I'm assuming not.

Oh, and happy birthday isagel

I have the same problem! They insist on flirting when i look like shit...running to the store in sweats/pajamas...so instead of "flirting" it seems more like wierd, uncomfortable pestering.

See, I don't view it as a problem or uncomfortable pestering. if anythying, the implicit message is, "I think you're attractive even when you're not trying," which is a very positive message to send, don't you think? Who would you rather date, someone who only is interseted when you're wearing make-up and are all dressed up, or the person who sees who you are normally? I just find it funny that the this guy showed such blantant interest in me, in front of my parents too, when I felt like crap.

Oh I very much agree lol. It's just... ironic. It's lovely, and says volumes about the type of guy he is, but I carry myself a bit differently when I'm not looking shabby (more bold), so I might not have responded as well as I'd hoped. It's probably some residual awkwardness I still have to grow out of. le sigh

I hope you're feeling better btw
