I regret not making a move on the flight..annoyed at myself
I was on a flight home from holiday recently and there was a really cute guy sitting across the aisle from me. I thought he was attractive and I felt that little “should I say something?” moment… but I completely froze.
He had his earphones in most of the flight, so I didn’t want to disturb him, and I kept telling myself I’d just make eye contact and smile at some point to break the ice.
But I just couldn’t bring myself to do even that. He looked over at me a few times, and I definitely noticed, but I overthought it and avoided eye contact completely.
Now I’m honestly really annoyed at myself because it feels like such a missed opportunity. I keep thinking that if I don’t make the first move more often, I’m never going to meet anyone. Where I’m living now, guys are more reserved and the girls usually make the first move. I’m used to guys initiating where I’m from.. so I think I’m just not used to putting myself out there like that.
Just needed to vent a bit… has anyone else had moments like this? How do you get over the regret of not doing something so simple?
