How I Froze Up When a Girl Hit On Me (And What I Wish I’d Done)
Okay, I need to get this off my chest because it’s eating me alive. Last week, I was at this party and this girl I barely know started getting way too close. Like, I could feel her breath on my neck. I wanted to say something, anything, but my brain just short-circuited. I literally stood there, frozen, trying to look busy on my phone. I kept thinking, “Just say no, just say no,” but my mouth wouldn’t work.
Afterwards, I replayed the whole thing in my head a million times. Why didn’t I just tell her to back off? Why did I feel guilty for not being into it? Why do I always worry about making things awkward instead of just protecting myself? I wish I’d been more direct, or at least moved away. Next time, I swear I’ll speak up. This stuff is so much harder than people make it sound.
Anyone else just freeze and then hate themselves for it?
