Yup, a gal I went to high school with. She was *beautiful.* Smart beyond me. Became a veterinarian, east of Sacramento. Caring. WANTED me when we were adults.
I was afraid, I didn't think I measured up. She said I did but I was afraid and after a 20-min hug, I told her I was afraid she'd grow tired of me and leave me. I had already been burned once (my first wife changed her mind about kids we split up) and was still smarting for being thrown over for a person that didn't even exist yet. We were friends but she drifted away.
If I were single now, I'd approach her. In many ways, she was the first one who was the same kind of crazy as me. I ***blew it***. As much as I love my current partner, I do realize I blew it with Julia (not her name) and I will go to the crematorium regretting that blunder, half my life ago.
I asked her out. She said yes and we scheduled a dinner date for a week later. We had the date. I thought it went well. We talked for a couple of hours. Ultimately I think we are at different places in life and it will not lead to a relationship, we are fourteen years apart. I am looking for something different than she is. For one thing I informed her that I planned on staying in NH while she is re-examining where she wants to be with the layoff and all.
Overall it felt really good to go on the date as it was my first one in almost ten years. Given that lapse in dating activity I think I presented myself pretty well all things considered. It was definitely worth taking the risk of asking her out.
Yes. I ended up marrying a different woman who made my life pure hell. The first woman ended up dying in a car crash back East about 1 1/2 years later. She probably wouldn't have been there if I had done things differently.
One is one too many. I did this once and I refuse to wonder "what if" any longer, so I'll go out of my way to make a complete fool out of myself if I think there is even a possibility. That being said, I'm not going out of my way for just any girl with a pretty smile. There has to be something else about her that keeps me on my heels.

I miss her.
"Same kind of crazy as me"....LOVE that. I wonder what she thinks when she thinks about you. Ah, life.

I'm glad you did it. Sucks when you meet a right person at a wrong time.
Not for a second. I may have fond memories of someone, but I don't look back. I think my spouse is the perfect fit for me.
That's nice to hear. Best wishes for your future happiness.
