I’ve only been to this class for the second time, and this girl sitting directly in front of me caught my eye. I got a better look at her, and she was beautiful. I made a pact with myself to compliment her that day. When class ended, I decided to ask my professor a question. I wanted to get my stuff packed up before I did though. So when pretty much everyone had left. I saw the girl asking the professor a question herself. She happened to not have her stuff packed up. It took me a while to pack everything up, but, when I did, I wanted to break the ice. " Do I know you? you look familiar. Are you from around this area." I said. She mentioned places that were no where near where I lived( and tbh I didn’t recognize her), but I wanted to try something, right? She was almost packed up when I decided to spew a statement of, " I like your makeup". I said smiling. She smiled back and said “thank you.” Leaving right after. I’m usually not that bold, yet I felt smooth. At the same time I felt like a creep and/or jerk. I wish I could’ve talked to her more though. Could someone please tell me if I said anything wrong or to forward? Or did I say the right thing? Thanks.
I wouldn't stress it.
At least you didn't do what I did as a teen. I pined after a girl for years without saying anything to her until Church one day when I asked her out DURING CHURCH, she was shocked and embarrassed needless to say, her brother threatened to kick my ass.
I had tons of anxiety with females as a teen and early 20s. My advice is just be yourself, don't be too aggressive, and relax around her. Ask her what her interests are, let it be about her, don't over do the complements now that you have made one. But the reality is even if she is good looking, if you have nothing in common it would be stupid to pursue a relationship.
You sound young, let me clue you in. Most humans are not the cliche cheerleader or quarterback, and most people both boys and girls and women and men go through lots of rejection before they find a long term partner. The best way to look at it is not to dream or pine for a utopia. Just be yourself and if she likes you, she will like you for you, nothing else.
If she is not attracted to you, it doesn't make you bad or her wrong, it just means she is not attracted to you. Don't let your hormones get the best of you. Not saying don't try, but meaningful relationships are not just about looks. And if she doesn't work out, the world has plenty of women.
