I can be a bit dense when it comes to the opposite sex so looking for some advice. I've started making more of an effort with my appearance, (wearing contacts instead of glasses and just generally putting more effort into my make-up, etc). I recently joined a one-on-one work Zoom call with a man I work with. As soon as I joined the call and said hi, he started choking on something he was eating. I was wondering, was this a sign he found my new look attractive and was shocked to see me, or just coincidence that he started choking as soon as I joined the call?

Yes OP, your glasses free, masacara-wearing eyes are so sexy that they cause men to forget how to swallow food.

Hmmm, chances are you are gorgeous but on this specific occasion it’s more likely he just choked :).

But please continue taking care of yourself. It’s a wonderful thing :).

He’s just choked OP. He might have just been having a quick snack when you dialled into the call

im going to go out on a limb here and say..... no its not your sudden change in appearance!

The ego on you honestly. Most men don't even realise when you've had a drastic hair cut and are stood Infront of them let alone some barely perceptible mascara and no glasses on a work call to have made him forget how to eat.

Perhaps he thought you fancied him, hence the make up, and he was scared.

You had me at your first six words...

Hilarious!
But if you’re genuinely unsure about a man’s reaction to this extent - and don’t feel you can ask - be careful!
Hang out with the girls more when you’re around men, people you trust you may be more confident / experienced, learn from them rather than make your own mistakes.
