Several years ago, I met a girl that seemed to like me, which was quite unusual. She said yes when I asked her out for a date, and the way she replied seemed as though it meant as much to her as to me. For a couple weeks she was qualifying herself to me as though she wanted to leave a favorable impression. It's unusual for any woman to pay any interest in me. Days later, she canceled the date over the phone and said she was getting back together with her boyfriend.

I have difficulty seeing other women as good prospects since they just don't have what she has. She was my ideal woman and soulmate it seemed. I compare all other women to her, and I try to find another woman just like her or at least a lot like her. I want a woman with her height, her looks and her personality.

About a year after the rejection, we were once again within close proximity, and she seemed to want me to ask her out again, but I was unsure. She'd often turn around and say "hi" even though there were many other people around, some talking with her and I'd be walking by without any announcement. But then she left it to me to develop anything further.

We've had a few chance almost encounters where she walked by and I made myself preoccupied with whoever or whatever else to avoid a real encounter. I'd hate to have a conversation like "How are you doing?" "I'm doing good.". "How's your boyfriend?" "Good." "Great. Well, see you around." It could have been so much more. Our love could put Anthony and Cleopatra to shame.
