reader, anonymous, writes (25 May 2010): I have to say I agree completely with all the other answers, and your dilemma certainly brought a smile to my face, NOT for any other reason than, how innocent and refreshingly ' girl next door ' you come across. You have not done anything at all for you to worry about, and these entertainers on cruises are out-going, gregarious people who enjoy being in the limelight and flattered by passengers. Who wouldn't, you felt he was talented and told him, but my guess, you may just feel a little concerned that he thinks you were being flirtatious with him - but again, even IF you were, so what, it's innocent, it's normal and healthy, and I'm sure he wouldn't think twice about it, and IF NOT...it was a compliment, and how nice that you can do that.Relax, stop worrying, and enjoy your next cruise!Jilly x

I am sure with dozens of people coming and going all the time he must get loads of compliments and am sure many suggestive comments from many people
So I will forget it now
thanks so much

 Don't worry about it :)
You didn't do anything wrong or "bad". You gave a person whom you felt deserved it, a compliment. I'm betting he really appreciated it.
Now if you started to stalk or chase down every ship he is on.. you might have a problem.
Good luck and enjoy your next cruise!

 I'm not just saying this to make you feel better. I'm being honest when I say don't worry about it. What you are describing is nothing. These thoughts of doubt are just in your head. Enjoy the cruise and relax.

You have not done anything wrong - you did not leave any contact number. Encouraging talent is a kind,nice gesture.
As an ex perfomer , I confirm you what your friend says- he surely has been just flattered .

you didn't say anythng that could embaress you, you complimented the young man and asked for a picture. I use to sing and get asked by men and ladies for a picture to be taken with them just so they could take it home and say "oooh she had a lovely voice" its simply a compliment.if he is still on the boat then you still have nothing to worry about because chances are he gets compliments all the time and he meets lots of people in his job. Go and enjoy your holiday and if you see him again the just dont bring it up. you have nothing to feel silly about.

I completely think you're worrying for nothing. Everything you've mentioned is very innocent praise for a talented artist. Go on your cruise with your chin up! You did a very nice thing - and from what you've said, there is no way it could be perceived as anything other than 'nice'. Have fun!

reader, anonymous, writes (25 May 2010): It seems to me you may be more worried about your true motivation behind leaving the note more than the note itself. I don't think it is silly to give a compliment to someone and you should not feel embarrassed if you do see him again. Maybe you are afraid that you may harbor some kind of romantic infatuation for him...? Not sure.If that is the case then you should not be embarrased either, I am sure he gets flirted with all the time and is use to it. If no feelings are involved then stop worrying about it, and be proud that you are one of those people who is not too proud to compliment another human being's talent. Good luck and have fun on your next cruise.

 Nah, you're not making a fool of yourself. You actually made me laugh because you reminded me of high school when people would leave notes for the boy they like in their lockers. Just blow it off, even if he is there. Chances are he sees tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of them tell him how good his voice is. He might not remember you. But don't worry about it and enjoy your next cruise!
