Although I don't know any of you personally, I'd welcome your thoughts and advice on a situation of mine. Pisstakes are welcome too, but tell me what you reckon......
In 2001 while I was travelling in Europe I spent some time Travelling in the Scottish Highlands. I was with a backpacker tour and amongst other places we spent a night at Inverness, at the base of Loch Ness. After a midnight swim in the Loch (Faaaaarrrking freezing - middle of winter) we went back to a local pub for a few drinks. And I met her....
The pub was full of people singing and kicking it right off, an awesome pub. Her name is Gemma. she came into the pub with a few of her friends, and damn near knocked me over, she was gorgeous. Pretty soon I went over and started chatting to the group, and me an Gemma got talking. We were both amazingly keen on each other and a bunch of us all went back to our hostel to continue the night. We both pretty much stuck with each other, apart from when her friend hit me up for a threesome (yes, its true). She was pretty hot too, but had a fair bit to drink. As the rest left G stayed, and we danced to the beats on the stetch, made out, and talk until sun-up (no sex). I got her number, she gave me a goodbye kiss, I left town the next morning, and that's the only time I've ever seen her.
We kept in contact for a long time over the phone & email. She was gonna come out to OZ the following June, but some family dramas prevented it. Then we lost contact about 2 years ago, in which time I'd pretty much let it go, thinking that was the end to the story. That was, until yesterday when she rang me while I was driving to work....
As it turned out, we had both been trying to reach each other (wont go into the weird reasons why it didnt work) but we failed to recommunicate. In this time, I've had & lost a girlfriend, and she a fella. But we spoke for a good hour, and it stirred up all the old feelings again. I had never been the "love-at-first-sight" kind of guy, and never thought I would be. But when I saw her that first time it fair & square punched me between the eyes, and she said the same thing. Talking again on the phone, I can't stop thinking about her.
I've just started dating a girl here who is adorable & lovely, and there's definite potential for a future. But now there's been a huge spanner in the works.
I'm actually heading over to London for New Years, and I'm reall tempted to Head up to Scotland and meet her again. I really don't know what to expect, but I've thought that if it happened all over again I'm not gonna want to come back. She was 19 when I met her, and even though its been 5 years I know (and she does too) that the feelings were still overwhelming
Its one of those moments in life where your at the crossroads. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to die wondering, and always takes a chance (you don't want to be sitting on a porch when your 60 thinking of the things you should have done rather than those you have done). Should I see her or is it best to leave it be???
She would definitely be the one, and will always be in the back of my mind no matter what. But due to personal circumstances neither of us could move to each others country to live.
Sounds like a D-grade romance flick, get your sick bags out eh?? Thoughts??
