I am a guy. In my high school, there was this girl who I encountered sometimes in the hallways who always said hi to me. I think she liked me. And, as a result, I liked her back. We thus became quite good friends, even though we had only met a few times in the hallways. We didn’t really know each other beforehand; she just saw me, found out my name from someone else who knew me, and I guess she just took a liking to me, I guess. Because she instantly liked me and wanted to become friends with me, I know she must be a kind, friendly soul; anyone who decides to befriend someone she just met and barely knew, like me, must be.

Anyways, on with the story. I have a thing where I am attracted to girls who take their shoes off in public. A big part of it is that I vicariously imagine the comfort they must be feeling as a result of taking their shoes off, and imagine myself in their shoes (haha, what an unintentional pun), which gets me excited. So one day, this girl, who is a friend of mine, was sitting in the cafeteria at our high school, and I noticed that she was wearing Birkenstock sandals with white socks. I became really excited when I saw that she had taken her sandals off. I decided that, if she ever does it again, I must film her. The next day, she wore the same sandals with black socks, and repeatedly took them off again while sitting in the cafeteria. This time, I whipped out my phone and recorded several videos of her. Five days later, the following week, she wore the same sandals with the same white socks she had worn the first time, and, once again, took them off repeatedly while sitting in the cafeteria. I, once again, whipped my phone out and recorded several more videos of her.

Now, as far as I know, this girl never found out about it. In fact, ironically, while I was recording her on the second day that she took them off and the first day that I recorded her taking them off, she saw me and said hi to me. I then put my phone away, walked over to her table, and asked her what her name was (I didn’t find out what her name was until then). I then looked her up on social media and followed her, and she promptly followed me back. Not long after this, I saw her at a mall wearing those same sandals, this time with red socks, and she took them off slightly again. She saw me and said hi to me enthusiastically while smiling, indicating that she very much still liked me, and considered us to be quite good friends.

We are now still in touch on social media, although we are no longer in school together.

I still have the videos that I recorded of her taking her sandals off at school saved on my phone, and I have watched them and enjoyed them many times since then, all the way up to the present.

Now, I do not think that what I did on that day was wrong, as I do not think it violates the golden rule (treat others the way you want to be treated). This is because I wouldn’t mind if she recorded me taking my shoes off secretly (I have taken my shoes off at school, sometimes, as well); in fact, I would be very flattered and happy if she had done so. I love the thought of a girl being attracted to me taking my shoes off. So I don’t really feel remorse, as I don’t think I did anything wrong, as, like I said, I feel I was staying in line with the golden rule.

What does everyone else here think? Has anyone else here ever experienced anything similar to this?
