You have to grab a friend to take a bunch of photos of you for your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, etc. Or at least take a buttload of selfies to showcase this flawless makeup.

Rarely is an action truly wasted. Practice makes perfect as they say… I get that this was disappointing, but if they are family friends you will have another opportunity some time again. Maybe even mention to Mom if you have a good relationship, that you are interested in this person and would like to get to know them better and she might be helpful… Op, best of luck to you. But be aware that just because you might be interested potentially romantically in a particular person and your families are friends does not guarantee that they will feel the same way or that you will even feel the same way once you get to know them better. That’s the risk we take for finding friendship and love. No matter how hard we try, we cannot make another person respond the way we want. Not every combination works - But it is worth making the effort because when the combination does work it’s great. But don’t become so fixed in your attention on one person that you miss out on the others around you who may be a good match.
