Ever connect once, then never again?

[nothingmore (deleted)]

So far, my dating has been far and few between, but I know it's up to me to make future dates happen. But anyways, my lament is that there's been a few times where I've had that really great connection with someone, but never asked for the number and ended up not seeing them again. So, I secretly hope I'll run into them sometime again, and they also happened to have been thinking of me the whole time and we'll re-connect, but that's pretty unlikely.
Well, i'll share my juiciest story. When I was just about to graduate highschool, I met a guy at a work party, and all we did was we talk the whole time and he seemed really nice and he was handsome too, and I felt like there was a spark between us, and well, he was 30 (which I would have never ever even considered dating someone that age, and wouldn't even now... except for him, maybe) and i haven't spoken with him since, and so I'm glad I didn't try for a relationship with him (because a teenage girl with an older guy is just stupid), even though its been over 2 years, i cannot stop thinking about him! It's silly, but I miss him

And there's been a couple others that i've met once, and never talked to again, and maybe if i asked for a number, it wouldn't have been like that, but such is life~

Does this happen oft to you guys?

If a girl that young gave me her number I would drop dead from a heart attack.

I actually did chat a bit with a very pretty young woman at a concert in Saratoga last year. She did not ask.

Lol!
I'm actually really embarassed I posted this topic, but oh well~ aww, she must have made quite an impression to be thinking about her a year later! (and who knows, maybe she wishes she had maybe asked, too ) At least it's good to have the memory though~!

Don't be embarassed. It is a great topic. This saratoga girl was just being friendly. I saw no indication that she was interested in me. I actually saw her at a couple of other concerts in the area, but she was with someone the other times. I will probably always think about her. You don't see too many younger people at classical music concerts. I did manage to get her name though.

.Never say never. Hopefully you'll see her again if you're so interested. Good luck to ya!

I've been through about the same thing but for me it was only one date! We met through online and say each other for one lunch date a week ago. He lives 200 miles from me and came all that way to meet me. It made me feel special. We had a good time and since then I haven't heard from him. He did tell me that he is extremely shy and maybe I just need to be patient. I'm the world's worst at being patient! SO anyway, yeah I can understand what you're going through, nothingmore. But I will say that it's been this long and you're still thinking of him?? Maybe you two were destined for each other??

`I know exactly what you mean! I've met someone recently, and I didn't realize what I had until it was too late. Never asked for his number. Thought about it at a time where I had the chance, but never took that chance because of stupid reasons. And now, I regret it and hope to run into him someday and take opportunity of this occurence! But yeah...I had a similar situation...the guy I met might have quite old... I hope you do run into them again because you never know..something could spark!
