Do you ever meet "the perfect girl" in an inconvenient place where you don't have much time to talk to her and it will be hard to find her again?

Question

reporting from my 48 hours exiled in West Virginia...

DaveToo · Accepted Answer

Well, Rachel, I never had a chance meeting with a gal in her underwear. Bikini's yes, underwear no. But let me relate a story that has stuck with me for all of 55 years. Before I was married, and while I was in the Coast Guard, stationed in NYC, ("Governor's Island"), I happened to see a gal about my age at the time, the single most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. It was simply a chance look as she disappeared among the crowd on the streets of NYC. I never saw her again but she never left my memory. Any woman I dated had to be measured, physically, to that woman of the brief encounter.
She might have been dumb as a post, I doubt it but she could have been. The woman I did marry not only measured up in every respect, physically, but was the smartest woman I've ever known. I married her and was with her til she passed in 1988. We were married in 1967 and she gave me two beautiful girls, one of which has a Doctorate in education and the other has her Master's in Art History. So who's the perfect girl? The one you can't live without, someone that takes your breath away just to be near.

That sort of thing happened many times to me when I was single. Once it was at a concert. Another time it was on a subway train. And I knew that I would think about her and think about her, but she in a few minutes would walk out of my life, and never know how I felt. Of course, you see someone at a distance, and you are very attracted by her looks, or her voice, or her laugh, and you don't know what kind of person she is. How do you know whether she's really your ideal girl? It's just a fantasy. But sometimes I was SO frustrated because there was no way for me to meet her or talk to her or get to know her.

Yes and it was in another country too. I try not to think about her..,

ZackBan · Answer

I met this girl on my birthday. She was the friend of a few friends and I was easily charmed but the context was a big friends group and the night ended.
Then I ran into her at a couple more parties and it was never ideal to flirt even though I did a little.

Then we were celebrating new year. Clock strikes midnight. She gets up to walk away I grab her by the hand. Pull her in and kiss her.

We're spending Valentines day together after dating for 1.5 months now 😁

So "inconvenient" yeah. But never impossible

SnowedIn · Answer

Perfect, no, but I agree with you 100% -- yes; that has happened quite a bit. Also, thank you for the laugh about "exiled in West Virginia" -- fabulous.

Yes and you kick yourself in the ass for not pursuing them as much as you did when u had the opportunity, we live and learn , that’s why if I see a beautiful girl that gives me the butterfly feelings , I just go for it , I figure it’s either now or never , better to take the chance , instead of missing the opportunity and kicking myself in the ass over it

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

I cat say I have. There have been a few times that I let a perfect girl get away from me. But those were times that I wasn’t really ready to be in a relationship.

also… what is this exile business? Lol! Who do I need to talk to for exiling a perfect queen on Valentine’s Day? That is just wrong!! You can’t be exiled!!

MadAndBankrupt · Answer

Damn this photo is so old that it was the first picture I masterbated to😂 where did you find it? Lol

dray995 · Answer

I have, unfortunately. It was awkward because I wanted to try to make conversation with her but didn’t know what to say because it wasn’t really a social place to talk to random strangers.
She was literally “the girl of my dreams” but the situation wasn’t right so it didn’t end up going anywhere.☹️

Weapon77 · Answer

Not exactly, but I see a ton of cute girls when I travel, and I never talk to them since I doubt they like me to begin with. And even if they did, are they going to do long distance or move for some guy they met randomly? 😂

Ligerzzero · Answer

Yes, when I was deployed in the sand box.  Still think about her, had a thing going while we were there but she was stationed in Florida and me in Washington, unfortunately no way to ever meet again.

Amur8711 · Answer

Once, I was working at Walmart in sporting goods and she was buying a fur takers license because she saw a red fox around where she hunts. She was so excited about it, it was cute. She was blonde aabout 5'10 and very pretty. She was probably 2 years older than me.

Levin · Answer

That's been a lot of my past experiences. But I've screwed up too. Like absolutely gorgeous women have made the effort to approach me, and if I was having an off day I totally screwed it up.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Yes I did let a perfect girl get away but I found another one and married her.

exitseven · Answer

is it like this?

Friendlybro79 · Answer

No one's perfect thankfully. That would be annoying and it's hard to know if someone's "perfect" in that short amount of time. It takes a long time to get to truly know someone.

Did you meet your perfect guy? Is he a mountaineer?

MikeTheBartender · Answer

Yeah... I'm kind of skilled in the art of finding people online but never implement it because it's creepy for that scenario.

loveslongnails · Answer

No such thing as "the perfect girl/guy", but I have met someone that I wish there would have been more time to know.

Grond21 · Answer

That's near me. But no, I have never had that happen. I hope I won't

nawtee_me · Answer

Yes, while on vacation and all I got was her name and a kiss. No number, no place that she is from or anything.
