Need to be ready and open for when men approach

Last night I was eating dinner with a couple of my dearest friends when a man who I know from Econ class approached us. I didn't realize he was approaching us until I saw he was right there.

He was like "Hi!" and I really wanted to say Sorry-what's your name again?but I chickened out and said "He's in my Economics class!" to my friends. He was like well, just wanted to say "Hi" then went back to his table.

My friends looked at me. They were like, "so does he like you?" I was like, "I don't know - I couldn't remember his name." They were like "I think he likes you." Then one of my friends said, "The problem was he couldn't remember your name."

Damn! If I would have just followed my instinct and asked him for his name, then he could've asked me for my name without losing face.

I need to stop fronting. Period. Then, I would probably get asked out more. . .
