Encounters with the Opposite Sex.

I realise that i'm really bad at handling them. ;_;

What's compelled me to write this article was a random encounter that occurred while I was on a bus, on my way home. I'm just sitting in a seat, minding my own business when suddenly, a random girl decided to sit next to me, despite there being a lot of free, completely unoccupied seats elsewhere on the bus. She then proceded to say hello and introduce herself. Meanwhile, i'm just sitting ridgid in the seat, sweating profusely. After about 5 minutes of a totally one-sided conversation, she asked for my mobile phone number. I freaked, and turned away while declining. I got off the bus a stop earlier than usual because... well, it was really awkward.

Upon exiting the bus I realised how bad I handled the situation. I also realised that I had to walk farther. That aside, i'm ashamed of myself. Have I really become that awkward? Am I that bad at talking to others? I mean, yeah, she was a stranger, but conversing for a bit would have been nice. Instead, I was just sitting there like a retard.

I'm a failure. ;_;
