Confused

The other morning during my normal daily commute into the city, I was feeling rather dissatisfied with my over all appearance. I have to dress like a boy in general for work, and this particular morning I was not even wearing mascara. I felt nast (if you pardon the expression). While on the bus, an older black man came up to me (who had previously been looking at me and smiling obnoxiously) and said, "I'm sorry I don't mean to make you feel awkward, but I just HAD to tell you. I was even just tellin my friend over there (a girl) but, your eyes are BEAUTIFUL! LIke..wow! I saw em and was like..dang! So, sorry for annoying you" (he walks away).
