I just saw the most beautiful person in the world and had no idea how to tell them and now i have regrets

i (29M) am visiting friends in SF and went to a bar called Jackalope tonight and behind the bar is truly the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. It was late and I was with friends and we were honestly drunk but she was really funny with us, very kind and hospitable. I understand the stigma of hitting on the bartender and if i’m being completely honest I don’t even know how to flirt, I’m also well aware that i approach this situation as someone who can easily leave the interaction where as she has no choice in the matter as an employee so I opted to play the roll of the average customer.

I didn’t treat her any different than any other waiter/waitress I’ve ever interacted with.

I left feeling regret. I truly believe that someone this beautiful must have a partner so I had no interest in reciprocation but I really really wish I could’ve told her how beautiful she is. Especially in a world that constantly reminds people how far from stigmatized beauty standards they are, i just wanted to let her know that i personally thought she was the beautiful person i’d ever seen.

perhaps a message on the receipt would’ve been adequate but alas, now i live with regret
