Today, a man hit on me in the store and asked for my number. He wasn't even old or creepy or anything, he was relatively young and attractive. I know that this happens to other girls all the time, but it never happens to me. I was out with my best friend and we were window shopping and this man approached us and I thought it was for some kind of pitch or something until he said that I was cute. I thought that he meant my friend at first because we've known each other since middle school and she gets hit on all the time when we're out and I've always been ignored. I know it's super annoying for most women to be hit on while they're out with their friends, but I was and still am so happy. I've always thought of myself as the hideously ugly fat girl, the DUFF if you will who's also freakishly tall to boot as compared to my slim, petite friends. I feel like a real person, like someone who can truly be desired and not just ignored or mocked. The only times a guy who looks like that guy have asked me out before have been on a dare or as a prank. I know that I shouldn't rely so heavily on others for validation but it feels really good to get it for the first time ever. I really thought that I would be alone forever and to have someone hit on me who I could reasonably see myself date was life-changing. It gave me hope that even if it doesn't work out with this guy, there are people who will find me attractive and want to be with me and they exist in real life not just some guy on the internet who lives a thousand miles away. I've always felt like the ugly eyesore in the corner who everyone just wanted to go away or to mock, but for one of the first times in my life I feel like the pretty girl on the tv show and it feels so, so good. Long and rambly but I just needed to tell someone.
