A stranger on holiday never to be seen again

Just back from a sunny holiday and got chatting to a stranger by the pool bar. I was just with my daughter. We both talked about our love of a certain sport (I don't want to out myself). Our conversation was ended by my DD wanting to go back and sit by the pool. Back on my sunbed he looked at me but I was shy and looked away. I didn't see him again as I was flying back the next day.

Now home I find myself thinking about him a lot - we had a connection and he had a lovely voice. I wish I'd got his name so I could look him up. Not sure what I'm asking here - it's just I don't have these kind of connections very often and when I do I don't forget them and I thought in my 50s I wouldn't have this again but I had one last year and now again. It's the sliding doors moment of what would have happened if I had another day there or if we were able to chat for longer...

Anyone else meet an attractive stranger never to see them again?

No, but any inclination to find him?
