Was with my ex boyfriend once, and he was driving us to go somewhere irrelevant to the story. I was wearing a pair of old flip flops of mine, and he leans over from his spot driving and very awkwardly compliments my shoes. I was kinda startled, because we were pretty early into our dating relationship, and he rarely complimented me, and if he did it seemed strained. I chalk that up to his awkwardness, but still.
It’s something that’s stuck with me, because I don’t understand why he’d compliment my flip flops? It’s not like they’re actually anything cute, they’re kinda old and very plain looking. I can only assume he was looking at my feet and wanted to compliment me but didn’t know a less weird way to do it?
