Missed Opportunities - Dating/Relationship/Hookups Wise

[d182]

So I have a friend who is a bridesmaid for a wedding coming up (I'm not going to the wedding btw!) She asked me how I knew this other girl from the bridal party and I told her "Um - I knew her from undergrad." Flashback a few years and here's my lasting memory of her:

I'd say the girl in question was more of a close acquaintance than a close friend per say. Since there won't be any pics from me - She's asian, probably 5'7 to 5'8, with a slim figure. After a long night of studying with our group of friends, we left the library at the same time while everyone else stayed. Naturally, I offered to walk her home since it was 3am and we were walking in the middle of a blizzard. Note: She lived 15 mins away from where I lived and in the opposite direction of where I would normally walk. Now that I think of it, a cab wouldn't have been such a bad idea but we were poor students

Anyway, we get to her door and I'm eager to get back to my place to sleep cuz I was EXHAUSTED. Since it was so cold, she insisted that I come in for tea and I wouldn't be bothering anyone since her housemate was gone home for xmas. I hesitated, but thought why the hell not. She told me I was welcome to use her desktop in her room while I waited for her to make the tea. 10 mins later, she comes in, hands me my cup of tea, and sits on the bed. We joke around for a bit and reach a point of silence when I was looking at her and the finally went on. Normally, I would've gotten the message but for some reason (fatigue?), I was completely oblivious to the situation I was in. That and from what I could tell, she's the kind of girl you would date, not for a one night stand (I guess you never know!). So I ended up walking back to the house in the blizzard thinking "DAMN! I could be cuddled up in comfy bed right now." The next day, my housemates (who stayed to study) asked me how was the walk home. I told them nothing happened and they replied with "Suuuuuureeeeeeeeee"

Edit: I'd love to hear other stories =D

Hahah the sad part is you are still thinking about it several years later, I guess it's been a slow few years?

[vaportech]

ahhahah damn that sucks.

it's ok you live in learn.

i hope, should a situation like that arise again, you will take due diligence in properly rectifying your previous mistakes.

o also you might get another chance at the wedding, you NEVER know.

lol just tell her if after the wedding if she wants to have some tea lolololol

I've had more than a few of these moments, where I would go back in time and take advantage of a clear opportunity that presented itself.

Unfortunately, most of these were just stupid little girls who threw themselves at me and I had too much integrity to indulge them. Now that I'm older, I'm more of a perv and I think that maybe I squandered my youth a little.

I wish I had a time machine. Would've done things much differently.

My memory was jogged when my friend asked me how I knew her.

No kill instinct.

+1 - I've made up for this before and after this incident

Yep. Except I try to learn from the past

Any other interesting stories? I can't be the only one who's dropped the ball before.

So you are into men?

So you are into men?

I see what you did there I was just a poor guy with a massive brain cramp on a certain night.

[No Frills]

Of course I missed some. The way I look back at it, a few times a season the ball even got by Ozzie Smith. My fielding percentage was still pretty good.
