Huge faux pas in social situation. How do I fix it?

Moomin5

Hi, I was recently in a social situation where I was part of a group meet up with quite a few people that I don't know. I walked into a room and was going to compliment someone on the outfit that she was wearing. However, instead I ended up looking her up and down and staring at her boobs. I didn't mean to do this at all obviously and she noticed. It was awful and I feel really embarrassed about the whole thing. Neither of us mentioned it but I feel dreadful about making her feel uncomfortable. I could easily find her on Facebook to apologise but I just think that will make it even worse! Should I just leave it? I will see her again within a few months so really don't know what to do. Thanks for reading.

  • Yep, think you would only make it worse. Guess it's quite possible that she has long forgotten about it. Also if she had made such a mistake she would quite possibly have forgotten about it. It's even possible that she didn't notice as much as you think - you may spend a lot more attention to your own social mistakes than other people who aren't used to making them do.

    Some people could probably apologise and they would always manage to say something to make things better, but if you are anything like me then no matter what you say it will make it worse... Even if she remembers she won't want to be reminded by you.

    Thanks for the reply, it's been good just to write it down. Yes, I make a lot of social mistakes and tend to dwell on them for far too long. I won't message her, I think I'd just come across as creepy.
