But you gotta start making decisions. The mask mandate ended July 2nd, and you know where you are on your vaccines(0, 1, or 2). This should not be about someone else showing you their face, but how you are to the rest of the world. I work in a tourist-y, high traffic place and many people are going through "who they are or want to be". I say this with compassion, because as hard as it was for people to adapt going into a pandemic, many many many more will not adapt well coming out. Hope you get another chance to make the impression you want. :)

…..that’s what responsible people during a deadly pandemic. Period.

What a dumb comment. You think everyone is responsible? Look around you.

No one's done THAT to me before but I saw a guy in the dentist waiting room with a mask over his nose but not his mouth....

Is this like flashing someone? lol

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

But seriously, if she was actually somewhat interested in you (enough to show you her face), why wouldn't she just say hi or something? I'd probably have been just as confused by the whole thing as you. Don't feel too bad.

what if it wasn't flirtation at all? What if was good old smile-at-someone-on-the- sidewalk, a nice social gesture like our bodies are hardwired to do since like, I don't know, cave living? I smile at people all the time, mask or not mask. It's part of being human. Maybe you just looked friendly? Maybe she was having a good day?

If it of happened to me I would’ve panicked and not reciprocated
Then spend the rest of my life wondering if that was the one that got away
