im writing a story (out of boredom and im bored that is why i am posting  it on here lol) and im just curious to how it sounds to a person not  writing it, im not sure if its really interesting... tell me truthful  answers and don't spare my feelings, ill write down the first dream she  has there is more and its not the beginning but its probally the best  part so far, (btw im still editing).
I was standing in a crowded low-lit room. The people did not seem to be  doing anything, just talking anonymously amongst themselves. A part of  my mind was aware that I was dreaming. The room was small and the walls  were black, the paint peeling, leaving behind a yellowy musk colour. The  only light illuminating the room stood on a small splintered wooden  bar, shooting out red rays as it reflected against a wine glass. I  stared around at the unfamiliar faces until I came across a face that  met my gaze. He had an unusual look; his hair was midnight black and  stuck out in unorderly ways. His skin was pale white but looked slightly  flushed as if he had just finished running, he wore a simple black top  and jeans that marked his muscles quite well. However, it was none of  these qualities that held my attention, his electric blue eyes, stared  right at mine, not moving an inch from my face. It was as if those  beautiful blue eyes were looking into me, discovering things that no one  besides me knew. It was as if he was seeing into my soul.
His mouth pulled up into a sly grin as our gaze continued. He slowly  took one deliberate step in my direction, still not looking away from  me. He raised his eyebrows in a cheeky manner as if saying ’Would you  dare it?’ I looked down slowly feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. I  knew he would take my distraction for a confirmation. However, as I  looked up again he had disappeared. I stared around anxiously waiting to  see this mysterious man, but his eyes were lost in the sea of faces. I  pushed people out of my way, a few of them shot me nasty glances but I  paid very little attention, I searched all over this small darkened  room, but he was gone. I turned around and sighed as an unexplained  anger washed though me. I headed quickly toward the small black door in a  hurry to get back home and froze one leg half way out the door.  Standing there looking like a male model was the mystery man. His lips  only inches away from mine. His depthless blue eyes crowded my vision,  everything in the edges turning to a white haze. He let out a slow  breathtaking laugh, breaking the tension. I looked down shyly, wow, he  was so handsome, he put airbrushed celebrities to shame.
“Hi,” I whispered in a small voice letting out a gust of air that I had  been holding.
“Hi…” he laughed at my attempt of conversation. His voice was the most  amazing sound I had ever heard, it felt like being a deaf person and  hearing for the first time, “I’m Damien Vanderbilt,”
What an unusual name, though I guess it did suit him, he was defiantly  not ordinary; everything about him reeked with unfamiliarity. He was, as  I said before, a mystery… a mystery that I wanted to solve.
He leaned in closer, grasping my chin in his thumb and index finger  forcing me to look at him.
His lips was puckered up to the side as he studied my expression “and  what’s your name?” his voice hinting a European accent.
It took me a while to answer his question his sweet breath disrupted my  thoughts, what was my name? “Umm…” I stumbled sounding like a complete  idiot “I’m Olivia Clemons, but my friends call me Livi.”
He smiled at me warmly in spite of my idiotic mumble.
“Well Livi…” The way he said my name sent shivers down my spine, “Has  anyone told you are extremely beautiful”
I felt my cheeks flame blood red as a wide smile spread across my face.  He thought I was pretty!
“And you look very, tasty.” He said casually as if just complimenting a  nice meal, instead of complimenting how I would make a nice meal.
I felt confusion spread across my features as I took in his words. What  did he mean I looked tasty? “W-what” I mumbled, but he struck a  beautiful half grin that wiped my thoughts clean.
A blood-curling scream came from behind me raising Goosebumps on my  arms. I turned around fearfully, my pulse drumming in my ear. However  there appeared to be nothing wrong. Then I studied the scenery more  carefully, a group of people sitting on rusty old stools next to the bar  were pointing at a small strange bug on the floor. One girl with  strawberry blonde hair and what looked like a fake-tan was crawled up in  the arms of what seemed to be her boyfriend, her eyes terrified. Relief  flooded through my veins like fire, erasing the Goosebumps. I turned  back to Damien giving him a bright smile and instantly froze.
His face had turned serious and fierce a ring around his blazing blue  eyes glowed crimson red, nostrils flared in what looked like something  more then loathing, something much more like pure hatred to this girl.  He turned his glare back to me, his eyes softening
Answer :
You have some good descriptions here, very vivid, but I feel like the  opening lines are hard to connect to.  It might be better if you put  them in present tense.  Then use a transition to get to past tense if  that's what you prefer, for the rest of the story.
Answer :
thanks for commenting on my story.
