It has been eight years since that humiliating experience, but I still chuckle thinking about it. I was taking a stroll out with two friends and a lady which I was interested in but was too shy to let her know.
I then asked one of my good friend then to help me break the ice and express my interest in her. Which he clearly did that very day without telling me he did.
Without warning me, my friend approached her and shared my intentions to her. I thought he was going to do that when am not there knowing fully well what a shy guy I was, but he went ahead qnd told her my intentions without my notice. Few minutes later he encouraged me to go talk to her, which I did, still unaware of his previous conversation with her.
As I walked alongside her, holding her hand, I thought we were just enjoying a normal stroll. Not a word was spoken between me and her, and she didn't actually mind. I then just assumed everything was going smoothly.
Days passed, and my friend open up and told me he spoke to her regarding my intentions and he was like, "(How did your conversation with her the other day?). I became confused and I asked him which conversation which he told me the very day we all were taking a stroll that I was meant to finalise everything with her myself because he spoke to her. I was speechless for sometime. Knowing fully well that I was a fool for not having the courage to speakout myself. my friend set me up for an awkward moment without my knowledge.
Reflection
Looking back, I appreciate my friend's intention to help, even though That experience taught me to be more direct and clear in my interactions with people most especially ladies.
