AbraCadabra so you are a girl! Oh yeah it is not only awkward for you girls it is awkward for us guys too! Other guys and friends also have a habit of teasing you whenever you see her or she is mentioned. I hate it whenever we are walking and she walks by and then my guy friends are like oh look Agent P there she goes and start to make noises and all that. I agree people are definitely keen on making connections and relate people to other people and i do not like it. In these kinds of situations the girl is the one who gets embarrassed the most.
Yup i am a girl. Luckily, in my case the guy doesn't know. I have no plans of telling him or anyone else because he is engaged and happily living his life. I am trying to avoid him so that he stays happy and the girls don't get a chance to tease me. I don't want to vanish all of a sudden so i do chat with him once in a while.
To make it less obvious, only we can do something about it that is take a step back and control ourselves. Dont look at her much and dont talk about her to others at all. As for being teased, either tease back, ignore or give a proper reply back so that no one does that again and is beware!
