Not so much what I said.
I was walking along and saw an attractive woman walking towards me. Feeling reckless I didn't disguise that fact I looked her up and down approvingly -- I won't go as far as saying I leered but there was some lingering gazing going on.
The thing about me is that my facial recognition doesn't kick in until I've taken a really good look at somebody's face. In this case I was concentrating on the lycra-clad hips.
I was a little taken aback to say the least when the attractive young woman said my name! I then recalled she happened to be my brother's wife's sister. Thankfully she's somewhat famous and used to people staring at her so she was able to carry on a polite conversation as if nothing happened.
I really ought to ensure I don't know girls before perving.

I don't understand.
This happened to me a few hours ago. I realise it's not the most exciting thing to happen but it was awkward.

Somewhat famous?
Care to give a hint?

She's in a soap opera.
Can't really say more in case friends or family google her.

It isn't incest (i initially assumed it was going to turn out to be your sister) so what's the big deal? Give her one.

Well, it was awkward because it's not the done thing to check out people you know.
She's way out of my league so giving her one was never an option, sadly.

Out of your league?
Are you restricted to women that fall below the 46th give her one percentile?

Out of my league.
As in she's attractive and successful and I'm not.

I did the same
Spent several minutes appreciating a topless girl's tits (on the beach) before my eyes wandered up to her face, where I realised she knew me and was wondering why I hadn't said hello yet.

Thankfully she didn't immediately recognise me.
But she was saying my name as I was moving my gaze slowly up to her breasts.
Had she been a stranger it would be one of those situations where she either thinks "perve" or "flirt". That made the ensuing conversation very awkward.
Had it been a normal acquaintance I may well have flirted but I'm so bad at it that I'm not risking being reminded of it for the rest of my life.
