Late night supper after fencing training at a little coffee shop near Holland V.
As we entered, I noticed a well dressed and made up girl with a nice figure and long hair queuing for food. I didn't get to see her face except from the side, but I could tell she was above average in the looks department.
I bought my food and drinks at another stall, and realised she was still queuing with her back to our seating area when I returned.
Curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see how she looked. So I went to the coffee shop toilet in front of her, knowing that when I came back out, she would be facing my direction.
I washed my hands and came out quickly. What I saw surprised me.
Her looks were as I had expected - she was pretty.
That was not what surprised me.
From where I was standing in front of her, I noticed most of the guys in the seating area behind her had their eyes glued to her.
Seems I wasn't the only one whose eye she caught.
It was actually quite a cute scene to see.
I wished I could have gone up to her and told her that she was pretty enough to make the heads of most of the guys behind her turn. I wanted to tell her because most guys would admire her from a distance without ever complimenting her and it was very possible she would never know how attractive she really was.
You know what? I could have done it.
I did something like that
before.
But... I need some advise here.
You see, I'm so afraid that in complimenting a girl for her physical beauty, she might begin to feel that what is skin deep is the most important thing to beauty. This is what the world tells women, which i really don't agree with.
Is there a way to compliment her looks without making her feel beauty is skin deep? Or should I just shut my mouth as I have done for the past year or two?
