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.

  • It's not an unusual occurance.  I often find myself staring at new people, especially if they're attractive and/or interesting, then although I look away, my eyes keep moving back to them.  I imagine they find it quite creepy.

    However, once I've got to know them, the attraction disappears and my staring stops.  In fact, they'll be very lucky if I ever make eye-contact for more that 3 seconds at a time.

    I'm glad that i'm not the only one who does this. I find that i'm really drawn to particular people, sometimes it's because they're wearing bright clothes, or it could be their hair or that they're just generally an interesting person to look at.
