I was so shy, i hope the poor guy didn't think i snobbed him or something, but i was so shocked by his sweetness that i lost words and i just managed to say thanks and looked ahead of me.
I did regret not talking to him, but that managed to get the shy me out and once that me is out, i can't even speak...
And no, most 16 year olds are twats nowadays, so keep going, because there is nothing like a gentleman on rainy days.
