He was beautiful; I was stupid

So first off this story doesn't have a happy ending. In fact I'm thinking this is pretty much something I'll regret forever.

 

*************************************

So today I decided I'd go out, have some fun. I was thinking, "well I'll go eat at a gay restaruant (there's several of those in Houston), maybe catch a movie, shop a bit (nothing fun, I just need groceries), and maybe drop by a gay bar/club."

 

So I took a long bath, shaved (everywhere :P:boy: ....well not my head), rubbed lotion everywhere, fixed my hair, got dressed, sprayed on some cologne (well I guess it's colonge...maybe body spray...well anyway whatever you want to call it) and left. Oh it's important that I tell you what I wore. I had these cute black and white shoes (well I think they're cute), one of my tightest pairs of jeans :P , my favourite belt (which is saying something :boy: )- the black one with the fun buckle and differenty spikey shapes and stuff- and my solid blue T-shirt that says "Sure to be grounded this time tomorrow".

 

So anyway I went to this Vietnamese restaurant (yeah I know it sounds like I'm under-dressed, but the climate in that area is such that you can really get away with anything really dressy or really casual). Well as soon as I park and walk by the window on my way to the door I glance through it and see this REALLY hot guy sitting there. So I go in and the maitre' D sits me at the next booth. Now let me explain the seating. He's sitting in the middle part of the seat on his side of the booth with his two friends (who I think were boyfriends) sitting on the other side. I'm sitting at the next booth facing towards him. Like the OTHER side of my booth would have been the side attached to the part of the booth his friends were sitting at. I'm also sitting in the middle part of the seat so we're like looking directly at each other through/in between his friends.

 

So all through dinner I pretty much can't stop staring. He's GORGEOUS, and JUST my type. Like if you asked me to describe my perfect type of guy it would almost sound just like him. He had blonde hair and blue eyes (of course :P ), the most amazing smile, great teeth, cute dimples.....*sigh* he just looked beautiful. To top it all off one of his friends was, for some reason, taking pictures of him with his phone (well I say for some reason, heck I wanted to whip out my own phone and get a pic too! 0:):boy: ). So anyway he's actually like posing and stuff at one point. He even did this really adorable seductive one eyebrow raise. And at another point in the meal someone said something and he did a surprised one eyebrow raise, which I never realized how cute that was but :wub: . It was amazing, the boy could not STOP being cute, no matter what expression he had on his face.

 

So anyway when I got there they were talking to a waiter, I mean for a REALLY long time, so I'm thinking he's their waiter (I mean you'd think), but eventually he says, "well let me go clock in so I can at least get paid for talking to you guys", so he must have just been their friend. Anyway he was really cute too, and the funny thing was I was flirting with him no problem (although he wasn't my waiter either, my waiter wasn't my type...though I'm sure he was gay, like everyone in the place was :boy::P ). Yeah, the other waiter kept like walking by and we smiled and said hey to each other, and then each time he walked by we kinda smiled...so yeah I was flirting just fine with him, sexy boy on the other hand... :/ I just don't know what my problem was, I mean like I said we were facing each other (and I was captivated by him), so we kinda made eye contact a bunch of times, but each time we did I just smiled nervously and looked down. :blink: I mean what's my problem???

 

So eventually I finish eating and pay, and I'm pretty bummed that I'm going to have to leave without talking to him....but I mean how are you supposed to talk to some guy at another table? (this is a serious question so feel free to answer it) I did try one more time to flirt a little though, after the waiter (my real waiter :P ) brought back my card I like stood up and made a production about putting my wallet back in my pocket while half turned so he could get a good look at my butt :devil: (although given the tightness of my jeans it wasn't a total act :P:boy: ). So finally I decide there's nothing more I can do and I start to walk out, now of course I have to pass their table to do it. That's when something COMPLETELY unexpected happens.

 

As I'm walking by his table he stops me. :huh: So he looks at me and smiles and says, "wait, what does your shirt say?". So I smile and stand straight so that he can read it, and he laughs and smiles and says something like, "ohh goodness, I bet" (or something joking that indicates amusement)....at this point I'm like really stunned and flustered. So I basically just giggle like an idiot and ....and.....and... :,( walk out! I frickin walked out! I didn't even say ANYTHING. But worse I didn't even stand there long enough to let him keep the conversation going. I mean geez what more did I want from the boy, it's hard enough to just stop someone and start a conversation with a stranger in a restaurant. He definitely did his part. How hard is it to say, "I'm Kevin", or, "So what are you guys up to tonight?", or, "This is the first time I've been here, the food's good". I mean geez anything he coulda worked with, OR just stand there and make him think of something if all else fails, but no....instead I decide to walk away from the most attractive gay guy to ever pay me any attention (in real life, you know I think all you guys are smoldering sexy ;) ). SHARP MOVE KEV

 

Anyway I was so upset with myself I actually got lost coming home, and I certainly wasn't in the mood to do any of that other fun stuff I had planned. I mean EUGHHHH that was like best case scenario and I totally blew it. To top things off I'm scared I actually hurt his feelings, I mean it's not easy to take a chance and talk to a stranger like that. I HOPE I just seemed like an idiot and not a jerk who won't give people the time of day. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Its Alright Kev, trust i have had mess ups with boys, grant it they were all straight... but they eventually forget it. And plus i bet that he thought you were just shy and embarrassed. Plus if you say he was as beautiful as you said i bet he'd turn out to be a real jerk to, because he would probably think he was gods gift to men. But oh well, I am very sorry that you had a terrible day, but it will get better. I hope you have good tomorrow.

Jeez - Okay, go back to the same restaurant several times over the next few days. Find the same waiter they were talking to (the one that had to go punch in, that seemed to know them, that you were flirting with) AND ASK WHO THE GUY WAS AND GET A PHONE NUMBER!!!!!

 

I trust you can take it from there.....

Kevin,

 

I can totally relate to your situation. I was in a studyhall class with a really cute guy that I was SO attracted to. I mean, I was in his class for like a month and I never talked to him. I had all the perfect opportunities to do it. Hell, I was in a room alone with him for 5 minutes at one point. And the thing is, I was 99% sure he was gay. But I just couldn't bring myself to talk to him. I talked to his friend a lot, though.

 

I hate myself for screwing that up. One of the many things I've done to f**k up a potential relationship (as I'm doing right now with someone else most likely). But you cant regret everything that you do. If you let one go, then there was probably a reason for it. [fortune cookie] You'll find your perfect person :) [/fortune cookie]

 

I agree with Sharon though. You're a lot braver than I am, so you should be able to do that no problem. Go back, find the waiter that was his friend and start pumping him for information!!! I wouldn't start straight off by saying "Hey, do you have that hot guys number you were talking to a few days ago?" He might not be inclined to give it to you :P

 

I wish you luck, Kevin! I hope it all works out for you in the end :)

And if he doesn't give you the guy's phone number, you could give him your number and tell him to pass it on to the other guy. Or an email address, if you're comfortable giving someone that information.

 

The only way this would be a mistake is if you get stuck in it and don't use it to learn from, for the future. No matter what happens with this particular person.

I totally agree with Sharon's advice. And if you need to have a cast iron Buddha statue thrown at your head to get you to wake up, just drop me a line, and I'd be happy to oblige! B)

 

And Joey ... if you don't stop beating yourself up and get some self-esteem through that thick skull of yours ... well, I have an extra special bronze Buddha statue that I'm sure I could manage to chuck in the general vicinity of your head (being extra careful not to hit the nose, of course! :P ).

Kevin, just to add my support to Sharon's advice. It sounds like a great plan to me, or else just go and eat there a lot and he'll probably come back - unless you get fed up of Vietnamese food first. Or get a job there, or...

 

What you don't want is to get a LBTW cast iron Buddha thrown at you. They hurt.

 

Be lucky.

WOW! That is a really good plan, Sharon! Thanks :) I guess I can give it a shot, I just don't want to accidently hurt the other guy's feelings. hmmm, if I'm careful though it just might work! That would so great :D . Thank you so much for that! :D

You know you're right, Kitty! That's a great way to look at it. I guess it is all a learning process...you'd think I'd have already known not to walk away from cute guys, but hey some lessons you just have to learn for yourself :boy:

My HOT looking friend. :P To answer you question, "Neo you already know the answer." He showed you how.

 

Ok, I know that your probibly not going to follow Sharon's advise, even though I think it's mostly sound, so lets move on.

 

It's not surprising that you froze, it's normal and makes you more atractive in that cute shy boy kinda way,so don't beat yourself up about it.

What should you do now?

If I were you the first thing I would do is to make sure that I had a response in the can so when it happens again, and it will, you're not caught off guard.

It should be fairly generic and adaptable to different situations and try to stay away from the corny shit.

 

As far as this guy goes, I would go back to the resturant and find the waiter, ask him about the guy. His Name, is he single, does he eat here often, etc. The waiter is not likely to give you his phone number, but might give him yours. Get his phone number only from him. If he does eat there often then try to run into him again this time introduct yourself casually, i.e. Oh,BTW I'm Kevin! Try not to drool, :lmao: hahahahaha.

 

Now because of the dinner parties that we have at the house I get to talk to a lot of older guy's and the one thing that I hear over and over is that most really hot guy's either don't know there hot or don't believe there hot. Most of the guy's that hit on them, they wouldn't be interested in because there the

usual horn dogs that hit on everybody. The guy's there interested in are usually intimidated by their good looks and so either shy away or fain disinterest for fear of rejection. These hot guy's are perplexed as to why this happens, so just be yourself.

 

If that doesn't work then it's not right for you anyway.

 

Thats my advise anyway.

 

Big hugs from Billy and me :hug:

hmm, I really do WANT to follow it, but I haven't yet so perhaps you're right ^_^ . I am sorta kinda plannin to go back Thrusday though, and if the right situation presents itself I'll give it a try :boy:

aww thanks! :wub: and that's a REALLY good idea! It definitely would have helped if I'd had some type of response in mind. Instead I was just shocked :|

hmm, he was so hot though! Plus he had like a really sexy air about him, so I kinda think he knows he cute, but I guess you could you be right, maybe he was just being silly (adorably silly :whistle: ).

 

 

Big hugs from Billy and me :hug:

 

Eric :devil:

Thanks, Eric! I appreciate it :D And HAPPY BIRTHDAY :2thumbs::great: I hope you're having a wonderful time, be sure to let me know what all happens!
