So I just ran into and said hi to Richard on the street.

Welp.

Edit: so now I’ve stopped shaking enough to say: yeah I’ve looked at this dork enough to dismiss most tall dark haired guys on the street but I was walking down 23rd and saw him and just was like. Yes. No. Yes. Omg. And turned around and met up with him at the crosswalk and just sort of squeaked my way through “Hi are you Mr. Armitage?” And he smiled and said yes (he had been looking at his phone the whole time while he was walking lol and he has a very long stride) and I said “Oh! Well I’m a big fan and I don’t want to bother you I just wanted to say hi.” And he smiled genuinely and said thank you and continued on. Then I turned around and bolted the other way. Of course part of me wonders if I should have tried harder for conversation but honestly I think it was a pleasant encounter for both as it was??
