I remember once in college this guy, I mean totally gorgeous, luscious, sexy guy was in the same bar I was. We looked at each other and I can't remember if I smiled at him or not, but he smiled at me. I guess I gave him some kind of cue that told him I was interested because he came over and told me he'd seen me there before and that I was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen and he had to take me on a date. 
That was an electrifying moment. 
Man, he was so hot.  So you're saying you turned him down? I guess this was after you got married. edit 
[Edited 9/23/07 12:53pm] No, I wasn't married yet. I think my husband and I were together though. I can't remember if we were engaged by that point. 
I had to turn him down. But, lord knows I didn't want to. He was an exceptional fine man.  [Edited 9/23/07 12:59pm] | |

It's sad that I've allowed myself to get jaded. I can find plenty of men interested in sleeping with me, but none intersted in actually connecting and dating. (And my days of having fuck buddies are long behind me.) Not to mention I simply don't ever see real life positive examples of relationships where men can stay committed. In fact I'm bombarded by examples in the other direction. Alas, I've all but given up.
OK, that's not what the thread's about.  But it's been on my mind of late.You should move to Sweden. Here it's the women that don't stay committed. | |

Yes, I've been there and yes afterwards you just go
I'd have stayed with my friends though like you did. Don't dwell on the missed opportunity. Hopefully, you'll see her again.  Aww, thanks. 
Maybe you're even right that I'll bump into her again. Stockholm still feels like a small town. and unfortunately she will have a really shrill high pitched voice and a laugh like a horse jk
See now what you bump into her again, you will already know each other! | |

ah you remind me when me and my friends were dancing at Retro, and this beautiful guy came and danced with me for a bit, then said "I bet I could have a very interesting conversation with you" and I said "I bet you could!" and then he wanted me to come out onto the balcony with him for some air, but I didn't.  | |

OK, that's not what the thread's about. But it's been on my mind of late.I've been feeling the same way this weekend. 
As far as my response to the topic of this thread: You need to take that to craigslist's missed connections section or whatever it's called. I love reading that stuff. And you never know...she may be reading it as well. | |

See now what you bump into her again, you will already know each other! I suppose you've got a point there. If I see her again I'll just walk up to her and say "don't I know you from before?" or "so, do you come here often?". | |

Nah, Craig's List is a North American phenomenon. And our connection was so relatively brief that she's probably forgotten about it already anyway. But thanks. You guys have given my romantic heart a bit of hope even though the odds are heaily stacked against me.  | |

no but look her in the eyes and then give her a quizzical look like you are placing the face. She will know you, unless she was REALLY drunk last time. | |

This has happened to me a million times. Now I don't waste those opportunities no matter how much I feel like the hunchback of norte dame compared to the person I'm talking too. Besides, it's probably good that you didn't get the hookup becuase there would have been deaths in both Canada and Australialand 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I lived in Paris for 5 months when I was 21. It was one or two days before my flight was to take me out of there and a boy who was c-u-t-e saw me on the street. He stopped me and said something like I would be really special to him. When I told him I was leaving, he offered to buy me another ticket so I could stay longer. (Parisian guys are like that ) I always thought that was a missed opportunity. Because he was c-u-t-e. | |

It was broad daylight too, just waiting for some friends (endo, anxy, gangstafam  )outside of a shop. He was sweet, too, just asked me out for coffee. I told him I was only in town for the weekend and had plans with friends.
Why is it I have such good luck outside of Minneapolis, but never here?  |

Why is it I have such good luck outside of Minneapolis, but never here? It definitely happens far more often when you're out of your element. I remember another guy in Paris asking me for "du feu" (a light). OMG he was GORGEOUS. It was but a couple of seconds but my heart goes thump, thump when I think about it. I mean I was 21 and I NEVER EVER had guys hit on me in the states. I mean NEVER EVER. | |

I have outoftowndar 
Oh my God - TELL me about it.  A few months ago, I was out with some mates and one of them asked how my love life was going. I mentioned how I'd met some guy - but he lived in the north of England; miles away from me - and how I'd also met some other guy a few weeks before - but he was from Venezuela. My mate said "Your problem is that you always go for guys who live miles away from you".  I was, like, "I don't go UP to guys and ask them where they live on the map or something?!?". How the hell do you know where someone's from when you notice them? It's just sheer coincidence.
Anyway, we went to this bar around the corner and I met a guy... from Scotland. My mate was, like, 'Hmmmm...'.
