I saw a beautiful man today, it felt like love at first sight. I regret that I will never see him again

I must confess, when I see a beautiful man handsome, magnetic I feel regret knowing I will probably never see him again. I get a strong urge to get to know him, but I walk away, especially if he is very attractive. I can only hope he approaches me first. I saw a man like that today, and I can’t stop thinking about how I’ll likely never meet him again. Maybe it sounds creepy, but I remember men like that strangers who left a strong impression.

It feels like love at first sight. It’s so rare for me that I actually remember strangers I’ve seen in public/ on the street. I remember the way they looked, and sometimes their eye contact. If I ever saw them again, I think I would recognize them. I regret that it’s not widely socially acceptable to stop strangers in public and talk to them.

If I had more confidence, maybe I would approach them, ask for a number instead of just walking past.

Do men feel the same way when they see a beautiful woman? Do you regret letting her walk away? Do you ever feel the urge to run after her, talk to her, ask who she is?

You see a stunning woman as you walk. She’s beautiful, you make eye contact, and then she’s gone a stranger you’ll never meet again. I wonder whether men feel regret in moments like that. If they see a beautiful, interesting woman on the street, do they think about her afterward and wish they had talked to her?

I once was stalked by a man who saw me, asked me for my number, and I declined because he was older. Then he was there every day watching my route to school. And as creepy as it may sound, I liked that desperation. It showed that the person was really meaningful to you, that they don't want to lose you or never see you again. I wish people were that desperate, that they would fight for someone if they liked them not like it is today, where they meet you on one date and if they don’t like one sentence, they swipe to the next and believe, not this one, there are plenty of other beautiful people.

I kind of understand men approaching women in public. When you see a stunning person you know you will never see them again. They are like rare pokemons. It’s like love at first sight. When you see them it’s electric like you see a rare person and you are attracted just by their looks and aura.

If life were like the sims maybe I would approach every beautiful person to talk and get to know them. When I see someone I’m drawn to, I see them, I like them, and I want to know who they are. It may be primitive, but this how attractive people create emotion in me.
