Absurd Flattery

So as things ramp up and work is getting back to “normal” people I haven’t seen in months are coming back to work.

I was walking down the hall today and ran into a rep from one of the device companies.

Now he is a very tall and handsome guy. Very easy on the eyes.

We are all still wearing masks around so he started to walk past me and then stopped and flipped around sayin “Ruth?”

Of course I answered and he said, in a very loud voice, “My God, you look amazing!”

I’ll admit I blushed (behind my mask).

He then just sort of goggled and repeated “wow! You really look great!”

Again I said thank you.

He pulled himself together and we parted.

I got back to my office and totally blushed !!!

Now while I admit I find him very physically attractive I don’t have any interest in him. So why did that make me blush so much?

Not sure.

But I know … for a moment … I felt like such a “girl”. And I felt pretty.

I can appreciate that for what it is.
