My mind had already put her on a pedestal as some goddess that wouldn't even register the presence of a mere mortal like me. I had expected her to look at me with disgust that an average looking guy like me would even think he had a chance with her.

When I actually talked to her and told her I thought she looked cute, she just started laughing in the most goofy way and acting completely awkward/shy while blushing. It was almost surrealistic to experience and made me realize that she was just a human being after all.

She did have a boyfriend though, but still a pretty insightful experience.
