friends,
i have a problem.
last month on my travels i meet a nice woman who worked in the hotel i was staying in. she was some kind of photographer and she asked me if i could help her with a project she was working on, so i let her take some pictures. we talked for a while and i think their was a mutal 'feeling'. but nothing happened.
the thing is i'd assumed she'd be working the following days while i was at the hotel, but she wasn't. so i never saw her again. and i didn't catch her name either.
that was a month or so ago and i can't stop thinking about her. what can i do??
would it be irrational to travel 1000 miles (what if she's not working their anymore or something??) just to see her again? should i email the hotel, but what could i say?:wtf2

Captain Kirk

or should i just try and forget all about her?

post a "missed connection" on craigslist in the city you were in...

or let it go but, no obsessing

Im sure the desk people would remember her
if she worked there. Call the desk where u stayed
and give them the date of ur visit and explain
to them about the lady whom was working
there at that time and if there was a way she
could be contacted. If they cant give u her
name or number then leave urs with them and
let them know u visited with her at that time
and need to get in touch with her once again.

Be honest and sencere.

It wont hurt i trying. What else have u to
loose. And that way u wont have to wonder
or worry any longer. Put ur mind at ease.

Yep i agree get in content with the Hotel and track her down...in a non-stalky way though;-) Really cool for you though, enjoy it!

but i can't just email the hotel and say like "can you put me in touch with the receptionist who i can't stop thinking about". 1: they'll think i'm mad. 2: she probably wouldn't get back to me anyway because she'd probably be embarressed.
anyway, i guess they keep my contact info in the hotel so if she wanted to contact me she probaly could, right?

I would bag it. Even if you find her, it would be at best a long distance relationship(1000 miles). If all you had was a vague mutual feeling and you otherwise knew little about her, I wouldn't pursue it. A vague mutual feeling obtained from a brief encounter does not mean a romantic relationship and it certainly does not justify traveling 1000 miles or calling up the motel looking like a stalker. Chalk it up to experience and maybe get the name the next time.

I don't think it is crazy to phone the hotel and tell them your story and leave your number.

I think it is crazy if you waste any more time or energy than that to try to contact her or worry about whether or not you missed something. If it was meant to me, it'll happen.

After you phone the hotel or post a message on Craigslist, leave it alone and get on with your life. Sober. Sane.

I agree w/ ananda.. let it go, live life!

Captain Kirk

i emailed the hotel and SHE replied.
now what? it won't look very sane if i just say i haven't been able to stop thinking about her.
maybe i should have let it go. "take my luck as it comes" isn't it?

Ananda

LOL oh aldo...you are so like me....no matter what happens i tend to find a way to make it bad or hard or something....

I don't know if you do meditation, but maybe meditate and then with a clear head the next indicated thing will be apparent....that works for me when I am able to remember and make myself do it

flutter

lol.. jk. I dunno aldo, this seems like a lot of drama. I'd think on it for a while..

Chill. And just email her back that you were wondering if, when you had felt sparks, she had too. Ask her if she'd be interested in getting to know each other a little better via email.

Breathe.
