A girl took to Facebook to share how she thinks of herself as “decent looking” and that she has had several exes who were pretty good looking.
She had a new colleague join her company a month ago whom she labeled as not very good looking and nerdy.
But as time passed and she found out about his magnanimity and kindness, she slowly started falling in love with him.
Here is her story:
“I am a 27 (F) working in the town area. I would rate myself decent-looking and have had several ex-es who looks pretty good.
A month back my company hired a new colleague who is 28 (M). My first impression towards him based on his appearances weren’t very good to be honest. He is not very tall (16-ish), nerdy-looking with an outdated hairstyle.
He always goes out to lunch alone, probably because he’s shy and have not blended in yet.
I tried my best to avoid him around work (I felt so guilty right now about that) but because of work-related issues, I can’t avoid him completely.
There were times he consulted me and I had to teach him.
Only just very recently, out of total coincidence, I found out his daily routine during our lunch break and after work. There will always be an old aunty selling tissues in a corner during lunch break and she always almost get ignored by the passer-bys, but this colleague of mine, he always gets her a cup of coffee/hot milo and buys her tissue packs at an overpaid price.
I saw this while I was behind him heading to the same place for lunch. He would even tell the aunty he will be back later after work to see her. I was astonished. I later found out he literally does that everyday he is in the office. The packs of tissues purchased are now all stacked up neatly in his drawer.
There was also another incident at work whereby he got reprimanded for doing the wrong things. I soon realised what he did were actually all instructed and taught by me.
I thought he would tell on me but he just kept quiet throughout the entire lecture. When he came out, I hurriedly went over to apologise and all he said was, ‘it’s okay’ and gave me a wide smile.
That was one of the brightest and genuine smile I have seen in my entire life. I feel that I have developed feelings for him although his appearances is entirely not my type.
I feel that I can actually bypass all these judgemental impressions of mine of a person because of his character for the first time in my life.
Please tell me how do I make my feelings known for him in a subtle way? I don’t think he has much confidence in himself and would definitely not be the one to initiate or confess.
For the rest of the ladies out there, please take my heed. Looks are only temporal. What stays is the heart and mind. His heart is greater than everyone’s else.”
