My girlfriend invited me along on a bus trip with the people she works with and so I went to her house early in the morning so we could meet them. When I got there she asked me why I had worn shoes today and I said I thought I would have to since it was a bus trip. My girlfriend said it wasn't necessary and she had told the people that I usually go without my shoes and they said it was fine for me to be barefooted. I eagerly took off my shoes and socks and my girlfriend said I looked much better now that I was in my bare feet. I felt much more comfortable as well. We walked to where we were meeting the bus and I spent the whole day barefooted. I was the only barefoot person there and a lot of people asked me questions about my lack of shoes and what it is like having nothing on my feet all the time. All up it was a great day and my soles got very dirty. My girlfriend said she finds it more normal for me to be barefoot than wearing shoes because she is so used to me having nothing on my feet and she has gotten used to seeing my dirty soles. Do you think it was okay for me to go barefoot in a social setting where everyone else was in shoes?
Such a nice story! Your girlfriend is a keeper for suggesting you go barefoot even when meeting with her friends. What a gal! Sounds like she is really accepts your barefooting and that is so much a part of you. Best yet, you had a great time and the sky didn't fall just because you spent the day barefoot.
wonderful story, your girlfriend accepts you for you and isn't trying to change your appearance or behavior. much of society could learn from her. you are a very lucky fellow, many people do not accept difference or diversity.
