conehead Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 So, I went to a Lock and Key event a week ago. For those who aren't familiar, it's a singles event where guys have a key and girls have a lock and the guy will try to open the girls lock with his key (it it opens then both get a raffle ticket). I met a guy that night that just within the first few minutes, I felt a strong connection to him. I think the feeling was mutual as well because he had that sparkle in his eye when looking at me. We both felt it. It was something rare. He's an accountant and so am I! Also, out of 50 guys who tried my lock that night, he was the only one who opened it! Then one of my girl friends cut in, and I had to leave him. He tried to approach me again at one point later on in the night, and even though it was hard for me, I made my myself walk away from him. It has been 7 days since that night, and I find myself still thinking of him. The reason why I avoided him the rest of the night was because, well I really want to date a guy who is the same race as myself. My last 3 bfs were all different races from me and I find that even though I liked them, alot of issues arose after awhile because of our cultural differences. But here I am, feeling a bit regretful now because I don't think I've ever felt such a strong connection with a guy before. There was also this part of me that felt like maybe it means something like fate or something that out of 50 guys that night, he was the only one with a key that was able to open my lock! Right now, I just feel kind of awful. I felt something rare and special with this guy, and I passed up on it, and I dont know how long it will be before I feel this strong connection again with anyone.
Author conehead Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Anyone? I'm feeling extra awful today. I figured I'd forget him in a few days, but its been a week and this feeling of regret has just gotten worse
Titania22 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 These things happen. Think that if it was really meant to be, then your paths will cross again. That should help you feel better. I actually had a regret like that years ago. I met a guy and missed an opportunity, and spent years wondering about him. 10yrs later our paths crossed. We exchanged number and met up, and I tell you now, it was really disappointing. He had done very little with his life, and seemed really dumb. I was happy that I had a chance to have my questions answered, as it gave me peace to let the memory of him go. Now I know that seems like a sad story for you right now, but it isn't, because it proves that if you really want to cross paths with someone again it does happen.
Author conehead Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for your story, it did help. I guess if it really is 'fate' then yes I might run into him again. Thing is, my friends and I are planning on going to another lock and key event in a few weeks, so who knows...though if I see him again, it might make it harder to forget him again
johan Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 That's a lot of emotion to connect to someone you barely spoke to. I'd say this is more about how you feel about yourself than it is what you might or might not be missing with him.
alphamale Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 omg those are sooo lame, i went to one and wanted to shoot myself with a large-calibre handgun
Author conehead Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Thing is, I don't think I've ever felt such a strong connection with anyone before. I've dated many guys over the past 2 years and they're really not in my mind much. But you know, there is such a thing as 'that special connection' or 'love at first sight' for some people believe it or not. Maybe you've never experienced that before though...
