Today, I was at a restaurant where the host is an attractive guy with only one arm. I was with my family, so I didn't want to be too obvious when checking him out. It seems like I was, though, because he came over and told me it was rude to stare at his arm. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I saw a ridiculously hot guy dining with his family. I decided not to flirt with him with his parents around but to ask his sister (who went to the restroom) to give him my phone number. When I came back, I saw her pointing a finger at me, and the whole family turning around and staring. FML
Today, I went to a family dinner. While waiting to be seated, a guy walked by and I looked to see if he was hot. Then my grandma yelled, "Get your eyeballs back in your head and quit staring at boys!" The whole restaurant heard her. Including the guy. And yes, he was hot. FML
Today, I was working behind the bar at a club. After serving drinks to a guy, he asked me if I could carry them outside to the two girls waiting for him. I scowled at him and told him I wasn't a waitress. That's when I realised he had one arm. FML
Today, I was yelled at in public for staring at a guy in a wheelchair. I was staring because he was so good looking. FML
Today, I was at a coffee shop, trying to get to know the cute new barista. I wanted to compliment his nice eyes, but I got nervous and blurted out, "You have nice elbows!" He stared at me, confused, as I quickly grabbed my coffee and left. Now I can't even imagine going back there. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with some friends. I noticed a very cute waitress about my age, so I walked over to her and asked if she had a boyfriend. The extremely fit, attractive waiter standing next to her immediately turned, held out his hand and goes, "Yeah. Meet me." FML
Today, I was having breakfast when my mom's boyfriend came and sat right across from me. He didn't try and hide the fact that he was staring at my chest and told me, "Wow, you're getting bigger." I glared at him. He winked at me. FML
Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML
Today, I saw a drunk guy hitting on a girl sitting alone at the bar. She insisted that her boyfriend was there, but he didn't relent. So I went over and put my arm around her and asked "Who's this guy?" He walked away, but then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was her boyfriend. He broke my arm. FML
Today, I was having lunch at a cafe. There was an attractive guy looking at me from another table. I smiled back and gave a little wink. A minute later he approached me. I introduced myself and asked if he wanted my number. He said, "Um, no but what are you eating? It looks really good" FML

"Oh this is embarrassing, I'm sorry. I was actually checking you out. You're very attractive." THIS WOULD HAVE MADE HIS DAY.

Why don't you just tell him that he was attractive? Well you were with your parents so I guess that's not such a good idea. I guess your only choice now is to say you zoned out and accidentally stared at him. Or just yell really loud and run out of the restaurant.

You can't stare at something that does not exist.

Brilliant observation.. I was wondering when someone else would notice this!!

It doesn't say where the arm was amputated (I'm assuming it was). It could be an above the elbow where he still has enough to fill out a T-shirt sleeve, or it could have been below the shoulder where there's a tiny stump you can notice _if_ you're staring at it.

op shouldve just straight out said it was cuz hes cute... or go in the next day and say it if they dont wanna do it infront of their family

I know some people can be really sensitive when people look at their lack of limb, but I don't mind when people stare because chances are, they haven't seen an amputee before and are just curious.

True,though I grew up with a babysitter who's arm ended just after the elbow (born, not amputee). As a child I was fascinated by 2 little fingery bits he had. When I see amputees or wheelchair users I find my gaze lingering as I wonder what their story is. Subtly of course, I don't gawp.

This would have been an excellent opportunity for you to respond disarmingly with something coy and flirty.

Maybe give him your number so he knows you are interested. .

You really should have told him you found him attractive. I can't imagine how offended and self conscious he felt when he thought you were staring at his arm. If you see him again you should totally say something. Better luck next time OP.

That's awkward. Even if you weren't with your parents, "No, I was just staring because you're attractive" would be an awkward thing to say. At least it would be for me.

"Sorry, can't help looking at a hottie." Compliment and an apology all in one.

I can't help but wonder, OP, how many others he's warded off by assuming they were staring for the wrong reason, when they were checking him out, too? Try not to worry too much about it, OP, sounds like some low self-esteem or a very defensive guy, to me; probably not much else you could do without making yourself or him feel worse. Regardless, that still sucks =/ hope your family didn't give you a hard time over it.

i hope u know that ppl with disability are extremely sensitive and conscious of other peoples gestures. it doesnt make them negative.
