Would you tell her?

Earlier today, I saw a really nice girl walking along the street with her skirt tucked into the top of her tights. I must say what a lovely pair of legs she had, bum and all.
Trouble is, I never told her about her skirt. Would you find it easy to have told her, or would you just enjoy the view?

Hi Gran,
I absolutely would tell her. Trust me, you would be doing her a big favor. This happened to me at work one morning. My manager and I were walking to the door to let the rest of the staff in and he very nicely told me to check my skirt. My face turned red as a beet and I was so embarrassed but if he hadn't told me then the girls I worked with would have teased me endlessly. Women and girls are far more vicious when it comes to things like that. Of course when it happens to them it's a whole different story.
Ladies, I'm not talking about those of you who are far more considerate than that.

Leenie, my dear Lady, long time no speak - lovely to see you writing again.
OK. Point taken. I can see the consequences of not being informed - as the victim, but I must confess ... this was a sight to behold this morning. Who was I to intervene ?
Best regards, GTG

Sad to hear about your little dog. Yes, maybe I could have acquired a new acquaintance - never thought of that. But, you know what they say - 'A Feint Heart Never Won A Fair Lady'.

Hi Gran,
How sweet of you to notice I was gone for a few days. Someone poisoned my precious mini dachshund (Bogie) last week and I truly grieved for him. It really broke my heart and I shut down for a few days. I missed all my friends and knew I would get a lot of support but couldn't bring myself to think about anything else.
I understand that you enjoyed the view but you may have had a new friend afterwards.

I'd tell her. I think it is more about helping her than felling silly yourself. I actually was in a similar situation although many years ago. I was part of our drill team and we were changing after practicing before school. One girl, who was very popular, was sitting on the floor and I noticed she had started her period. I walked over to her and whispered in her ear that she had started and stained her shorts. Although she never thanked me, I do feel like I saved her from a more embarrassing situation.

I could quite easily tell a girl about her monthly event, but it still needs to be done discreetly and sensitively, especially coming from a guy. Many years ago, I managed a large commercial dry cleaning outlet, and you can imagine the sort of things you had to deal with in front of the customers. What never ceased to amaze me was just how open, and un-flustered many people were about very private things.
Thamks for your comment.

I think I would be embarrassed to tell her because she'd know I'd been looking, and she'd wonder how long for.

I think I'd tell her - at least it would save her from more embarrassment; if she were to continue down the street, and meet more people. I would definitely appreciate someone telling me as soon as possible!

Fair dinkum. Trouble is; I'm a bloke, and I don't reckon many blokes would tell her. I mean, the view was fantastic.

Having done something similar, I probably would have told her. I appreciated it when someone told me, so I think I would do the same. The only reason I might hesitate is because I would worry that my pointing it out might embarrass her, but at least it would be taken care of and no one else would see. So, it wouldn't have been easy for me to tell her, but I would have anyway.
