This boy sits next to me on my first day in my new Chinese class and says, "Ni hen piao liang!" And I was so surprised that I pretended not to understand what he said even though I am actually pretty good at Chinese and understood it completely. "You're very pretty!" was what he said.
I can't take compliments, but I sure as heck like getting them.
And my first day in another class I transferred into for the new semester, a boy approached me and asked, "Who are you?" It sounded accusatory, so I answered in an equally dumb way: "Your worst nightmare." He blew air out of his mouth and said, "Well if you're my worst nightmare, I hope I have nightmares every night." And I thought, I think I'll like this class. (And is it just me, or are boys getting more clever?)
I'm addicted to being the new girl because, let's just face it, the new girl gets attention.
And I think I'm addicted to attention.
I hate girls like me.
Back to homework now...
First off, I can't take a compliment either. It's my natural instinct to deny it. I've tried the whole just-say-thank-you thing.... apparently that just makes you sound full of yourself, so whatev....
ReplyDeleteI love the stories however! And I also love to hear compliments from boys. When girls tell you how cute your outfit is... it just isn't the same. I always feel obligated to find something to compliment them on. (Kind of defeats the purpose and sincerity.) So... how do I get these boys into my classes?
ya honestly... where do you find these great boys? Ive been searching and have yet to find a decent one! I think im going to need to borrow some of your obvious 'im sexy you can compliment me vibes' because apparently im doing the exact opposite...
ReplyDeleteDid I not clarify that these guys are usually creepy?
