feelers

"Feelers" is a term my best friend from high school came up with to describe that feeling you get about someone where your stomach drops just thinking about them. I've only had feelers once before and wasn't sure it would happen again.

Lately, my otherwise natural smoothness has been compromised and what's resulted is a horribly awkward, and sweaty-palmed version of myself. My first attempt at saying "hi" resulted in some strange high-pitched noise escaping my throat. I played it off as a cough and immediately fled the elevator.
