Missed Opportunity

The other night I was out and bout with the girls. We went to a local rest. and had a galss wine. While waiting for some other friends to show I got to talking to this really handsome man. He had just graduated college and I figured he was few years younger than I, but could tell he was mature. He wasn't from town but had friends in the area. He was due to leave on a trip for a week for work and would be going back to his hometown afterwards (about 6 hrs away). Just as we were getting to talking more I got distracted because the rest of my friends showed up. When he left he came by to say good-bye and I thought "oh well". The following day I went for some coffee in the later part of the afternoon with my son, when I was finished ordering I turned around and he was standing in front of me. My stomach sank to my knees and I about fell over. We engaged into some small talk and then said our good-byes. I was so sad that he didn't ask for my number or to keep in contact somehow. I thought that maybe he did not want to ask in front of my son which I understand. I didn't ask him for his number because I could not tell if he was interested or not. Now I feel stupid and wish i asked. It almost felt like fate....
Has anyone else ever had a missed opportunity??? What would you have done??

We've all had missed opportunities. I think after the second time he bumped into me I would have asked if he wanted to swap numbers. He may have been intimidated because you were older or not sure that you were interested. Or it may have just not been meant. I remember one day when I was in college I saw a cute guy. I thought about saying something, but walked past him. Then, I got up the nerve and turned around, but couldn't find him. The next time I saw him, I talked to him, but while I was talking to him he seemed to be courting another girl. He had just met her for the first time while he was talking to me. He would talk to her, then turn around flirt with me, but in the end he walked her to class. So, I figured I was better off not talking to him that other day. He said he remembered seeing me, but was too intimidated to say something, so I thought it was strange that went off with someone he met in the middle of talking to me.

i've been in a similar situation. a long time ago when i was only 12 i met the guy who i beleieved to be the man of my dreams (i know ) well we both liked each other but i never said anything and he tried to but still nothing, soon he left the school and i was so upset with myself for not saying anything. i was too nervous and too young, well at 13 i met up with him again and did nothing, then again at 15 and 17 and finally i made a move b/c i thought this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't fate, well it wasn't b/c it was bad timing on his part and once we starting really getting to know each other we found that what we thought was fate was just a coincidence. we weren't right for each other but that doesn't mean that the guy you met couldn't have been for a good reason. i'm sorry that you missed ur opportunity, but maybe he was nervous to ask for ur number also. truthfully i would probably dwell on it but if u met up with him twice, you may just get that third try and this time you have to get the number.
