Posted: 7/4/2009 11:12:37 AM | Hi there,
on holiday at the moment, on the flight there was this girl sitting in the row in front, opposite side, we were both on aisle seats. There was major eye contact but i was too shy to talk to her initially, however as we were getting off the flight we struck up a conversation, it was very cordial, we talked about some bars and where we were staying (i know she's in a villa somehwere nearby but its impractical to go and search for her) ultimately, there was a mad rush through the airport, i managed to get her first name, but missed her surname, and i never saw her again...there was definitely an attraction there. I just hope she's on the same flight coming back (in a week), my question is, do you think i should phone up the airline and possibly give a seat number and a first name and they would give me a surname?? I don't know what to do, i just feel gutted that i was too shy to give her my number or ask for hers etc..., she was with friends you see so i felt a bit shy...any advice would be welcome, thanks. | |

This sounds so very sweet and it has happened to me but in another place. I am not sure that the airline is at liberty to divulge confidential information about their clients though. I guess all you can do is hope you bump into her either on holiday or at the airport. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 11:22:12 AM | | Just think.She could be posting on the Forums of some other site right now,telling everyone about some creepy fella who kept eyeing her up on a Plane journey recently. And how it was only by initiating a mad rush through the airport upon arrival,that she was able to avoid him. | |

My mum always says that whatever is for you, won't go by you.
If it's meant to be, you'll see her again. | |

That's a nice thought and one which I ascribe to......although what about not letting opportunities pass you by....although in this case he did! Still, there's no point in having regrets either... what will be will be....and so we are back at where we started from. Pay no heed...I'm leaving the building. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 11:34:03 AM | I agree with Hula that, if anything is meant to come of it, you'll bump into her again.
I'd enjoy your holiday and try to forget about it. I find it best to expect the worst then you can only be pleasantly surprised!
I certainly wouldn't recommend trying to contact her through the airline, she might be a bit freaked out by this. Someone, many years ago, contacted me by getting my number from an employment agency I worked through and, not only did I feel like I'd been stalked but was very upset that they'd given out my details and never worked for them again. | |

A refreshing change to see one sex not slating the other on here.
I hope you find her again | |

We chatted for the whole trip even though she was with her mate.....who pretty much had to amuse herself. We slept on deck on top of our sleeping bags, head to head and both of us wanted to kiss but for some reason we didn't. In the morning she had to get off at santorini. She asked me if I could get off too but I said no I was going on to Crete. IDIOT.
Advice?
Next time, get off at Santorini. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 12:57:34 PM | aww how romantic. I hope you see her again but i dont believe in fate and "if you are meant to be together you will be" cobblers im afraid. Life is just a series of coincidences and i doubt you will ever see her again. Sorry i dont mean to be the voice of doom but we should seize our chances when they happen because they wont happen again.  | |

If you do see her again on the return flight she may be musing over her holiday romance, which could have been with you. I'm with Msg above me, take your chances while you have them you don't always get a second go.
Santorini is so much prettier than Crete too. What a shame - but you have your memories and that night is clearly etched on your mind as one of those special moments some people never experience. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:10:11 PM | Wow that's pessimistic! 
What about all those people who meet up again with their childhood sweethearts? Every day is a series of co-incidences and left or right turns - you never know what you missed but it's well worth trying the earlier suggestion about asking the airline to 'return' something and put your phone number in with it - excellent work! She might think 'how romantic' and ring you; worth a try... 
But another time... act on impulse! What can you lose? | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:15:52 PM | ^^^ when you meet up with your childhood sweetheart chances are that you had some sort of relationship with her/him or a connection beyond your feelings for her/him eg you lived in the same area, went to the same school, shared friends etc so there is more likelihood of you crossing paths again.
Meeting up again with someone you encountered randomly on a plane is less likely to happen but if it did I'd not miss the opportunity to act second time around. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:30:50 PM | Thats sweet
only thing I can suggest is go to the bars you both discussed ... maybe she is going there too looking for you? I hope you find her | |

I used to sit opposite this beautiful lady on the bus every morning on the way to work and
had just built up the courage to say hello and strike up a conversation with her when she
suddenly vanished and I wondered what had happened to her only to see her photo in the
local paper with a story that she had been sent to prison for trying to poison her husband. | |

This is half true; They defiantly wont provide the PAX info but (if booked directly with carrier) they may pass on a msg on your behalf. If it's a scheduled flight from LHR or LGW then mail me - no promises | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 5:37:45 PM | I had similar things a few times and I said to myslef I will never again let that time and connection slip by. However I did, and i realise that everything has its time and if you miss the opportunity you cant go back and make the moment again.
It must be something about the universe configuring the alignment of everything and it can't be rewound.
