You're Not looking

YOU TRY TO LOOK AT SOMEBODY WHILE PRETENDING YOU’RE NOT LOOKING

I see you two, doing that whole, “I’m going to glance and then pretend I’m not glancing so that you won’t think I’m staring even though I really want to stare, but wait, what if you think I’m a total creep or a weirdo and you call the police and tell them I was raping you with my eyes?” thing at each other from across the room.

Stop bullshitting yourself. That person is some combination of hot/interesting/cool/has-something-stuck-to-their-face. Stop being weird about it and look at them. If they look back, then smile. If they smile back, say hi.

This is what people did back before texting was invented. That wasn’t hard, now, was it?
