I (25m) have been travelling Thailand the past 6 weeks (no this is not going where you’re thinking) and for the first time today i had a real romantic connection with a girl on the beach. She was from Germany and was completely stunning. I was genuinely a little taken back by how attractive she was as I noticed her struggling to enter the sea because there were so many sharp rocks and jellyfish. We got to chatting and walked along the shore together speaking about shells we had found and i noticed how cute it was when she’d get really excited mid conversation. She told me she recently left work bartending and was studying socio-economics and was pleased to hear i play tennis as it’s something she’d recently been playing with her mum. As i was speaking to her i felt a calm confidence that rarely occurs for me in first time interactions with people and i recognised that i really wanted to spend more time with this person.
We agreed to exchange contacts and walking back to get her phone i spotted an eye of shiva shell in the sand, having never found one before, I had really been searching since another traveler showed me one a few weeks back. I showed it to her and she beamed with excitement and i told her it was hers. The coincidences continued as she handed me her phone to put in my instagram and i told her how i’d never met anyone else who is still using the iphone 12 mini. She laughed and here’s where i fuck up. She had no signal so as i type my username in the search wont load, she tells me to take a screenshot and she’ll add me later. For some dumb reason, I asked her to take the screenshot as my hands were covered in wet sand from the shell. She took the phone back. I said goodbye to her and her sister and said i’d maybe see her in the week to which she said that would be nice.
Bounding with confidence, i strode off to my things just a little way down the beach and sat for half an hour or so before leaving just ahead of sunset. It’s now been 8 hrs or so since i left that beach and Ive spent probably the last 6 of them with the gut wrenching realisation that i likely left my future wife there with no way of contacting me.
I am still yet to hear anything from her and while typically i’d assume she just wasn’t interested, this felt like a genuine connection and Ive learned recently how i have a real tendency to fail to pick up on those signals. All in all, i am gutted and concerned ill now spend the rest if my trip hopelessly looking out for her. Really kicking myself for how i even passed on the opportunity to head back over and try get a signal on my phone as i just sat there on the beach afterwards. Here’s to hoping i wake up to a follow in the morning and thanks for reading my stressed out drivel.
TL;DR - met a gorgeous girl on the beach i really connected with and noted a couple of coincidences and romantic moments that have since convinced me she was my future wife. I fumbled typing my details into her phone and now haven’t heard from her since :(
