Fifteen years ago I worked in a big department store in the warehouse, it was great I was 25 and a total a*hole guy. I liked my music, I liked weed and I liked fun and hated anything that seemed like responsibility. At that time a girl, a student worked in the store part time, she was cute and I flirted with her as was my way with any pretty girl at the time. Some took the bait. This girl though was always different, a little shy and awkward I chased her a bit harder than usual eventually she caved and we "got off with each other at a night out.
It wasn't just a bit of fun to her, by then she really liked me a lot and it got difficult. I did like her, I truly did but I was freaked out as well. My weed habit was starting to affect my MH at this time and I had a bad situation at home with family and was trying to get out into a council flat. During this time we were kind of off and on to be honest I was awful to her, I couldn't cope and in the end she just left the job and never came back. I always regretted it and beat myself up about not being able to deal with it. I obsessed about her and even tracked her down a couple of years later, called her up and asked her out, then I chickened out again told her I would call back with plans and never did call her back but moved away to a different town for a few years where I feel I did sort myself out emotionally and have had good relationships since then with women.
Been back home for a few years, got a decent job my own flat I'm 40 now and have dated but nothing serious in recent years then bang I see her again standing the dairy aisle in tesco. I couldn't believe it I felt like runny away but went up and said hello. She is beautiful, still very sweet and shy but warm. Said sorry for being a prick in the past and she said to forget it, that we were kids back then. She is now 38, single and a yoga teacher now, she was just finished with a class near where I live that she does in the evenings twice a week. I am dying to see her again. Would it be cool for me to try and catch her after her class on Thursday, see if she wants to go for a drink?
What would you think if you were her, have I totally blowen it with her or could I have another chance?

Any hope she will give me another chance?
