You're a fashion design student. Bright and outgoing... but things have always gone horribly wrong with guys. Flirting has left you feeling awkward, and your friends' attempts to set you up with someone have always ended in failure.
One day, after hanging out with your classmates, you were returning home. While standing at a traffic light, you spotted an attractive man. The sparkling wine gave you courage, and for the first time, you approached him.
You introduced yourself, paid a compliment... and only then did you feel his hand on your forearm. It turns out the light had turned green, and you were so distracted that you didn't notice. The man silently led you across the street.
“Does he even know what personal boundaries are?” flashed through your mind.
After crossing the road, he smiled politely, said he was in a hurry, handed you his business card and quickly left.
“So much for meeting people on the street…”
The next day, you arrived at university as usual. The professor informed you that your group would be given several lectures by a renowned fashion coach—the owner of a brand and a chain of stores.
You were barely listening... until that same man entered the room.
Yesterday you were literally hitting on the new teacher.
The situation seemed dire. At the end of the lesson, your eyes accidentally met, and he suddenly smiled amiably.
Later, as you were leaving the building to get some water, you ran into him again. He was looking straight at you, as if expecting a reaction.
And now it’s unclear – should I pass by… or should I approach?
