A prior post reminded me of this incident in my past and wonder what others experiences have been like it.

About 15 years ago there was a woman I was interested in. I was in my mid 20s at the time and she was in her early 30s. I was torn on whether or not to pursue it because of different points in life where I was planning on going to grad school away and she moved back to town a few years before after ending her marriage.

I met her through college where I worked in a tutoring center and she was a student who came in for help. We became friends because of her frequent visits.

One time I wanted to help her prep for her exam and met her at a library working with her. Then she kisses me on the cheek and I was frozen by it. Never responded to it.

I wonder what may have happened if I responded to that kiss.

My guess is nothing much.

Better to enjoy what the time was worth than push it for something that is unlikely to go anywhere that just leads to upset and false hope.

I had a platonic friend I met in college and stayed in touch with on and off until about 10 years ago. We were close at times. I think that if both of us had been more emotionally grounded and mature in our 20's there's a good chance we'd have fallen in love and maybe been longterm.

But! Things were what they were, and are what they are. Oh well! The one that got away...

You'd have gotten kicked out the library, that's what would have happened.

Everybody has a story like that. The beauty of it all is that we can wonder about what wouldda, shouldda, couldda happen. Until I can figure out how to work this time machine, no one will ever know.
