A *slightly* embarrassing flight encounter
Ok, prefacing this with the fact that this is a weird and a rather *immature* situation to be in (and I'm not sure what the average age of this sub is). So I took a flight from Bangalore to Chandigarh last Friday. Normally a 3-hour journey, I had my Rick & Morty episodes and podcasts downloaded, phone charged. Got on the plane, sat in my aisle seat, and lo and behold, the most perfect girl I've ever seen came and sat in the middle seat beside me. My brain stopped functioning. I just offered to put her cabin bag in the overhead compartment, which she politely declined because she had her headphones and other stuff in her bag that she needed. Now I, thinking I shouldn't force any conversation on her because she genuinely didn't seem all that interested in talking anyway, kept to myself and started my R&M episodes after takeoff with my phone on the device rest. Season 2, Episode 8. Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with the series, it's the worst possible thing you can have on your screen when you're sitting beside someone you want to talk to. I realized she noticed it too, and my embarrassment was through the roof. Ever since then, I've had my head in the gutter. Now, I realize I might have blown it out of proportion, but back then, I couldn't face her after that, felt a bit weird. So there I sat, just eyes on my phone, watching another episode. Usually, I wouldn't care about such a thing (well, not unless a literal child is sitting beside me; they should NOT be seeing that). I know I shouldn't have frozen and should have talked to her, but how do you even recover from this?1
