Missed Chance
I often think about the chances I never took. This happened just last week in the most unusual of places. I was dealing with my taxes and had been on the phone with this representative a few times who was handling my case.
She was intelligent, friendly and seemed to generally care about me, a total stranger, who she had ever met. In order to close the case, as with all great tax stories, I had to drop off a check. Needless to say, when I finally met her – this kind voice on the other end of the phone – I was stunned. Not only was she beautiful, but also her personality lit up the whole room when she entered. My thoughts should have been on how to ask her out or arrange for a second meeting, but I was rendered temporarily incompetent. I’ve been thinking all weekend how I could possibly get a chance to see her again. I could take the money outof my account and have the check bounce – I’d have to take her a new one, of course. But I don’t think this isn’t the best impression to give. She was probably happily married anyway so this is an exercise in futility. Still, there was something about her that affected me deeply and that happens so rarely these days. It’s doubtful I will ever see her or hear from her again but at least I’ll have the memories. I’ll also have to deal with the regret that comes with another chance I never took.

Be a man and call her and tell her your feelings.

I should... I just have to remember to not file my returns again this year and maybe I'll get a second chance!
