GAF... Have I ruined this opportunity? (Girl advice needed)

OP no...

Why would you do this? You fucked up the first time but it was Heat of the moment. It's forgivable. This time? It was a cold and calculated fuck up to sabotage your chances. You just gave up on amazing girl for nothing. You will regret this for your entire life.

Call her work. Tell the receptionist she left something on the plane and you have it. Describe yourself. Leave your number. The girl might just call you. Or not. But you absolutely must try.

What indication is there, at all, that she's an "amazing girl"? OP will get over this really quick once he starts meeting and interacting with more single women.
 
I went home today. I didn't do the book thing.

Aw man, now I'm sad. I thought we had a crack at having a happy ending with this. You might have got rejected and she might have found it creepy, but on the other hand she might have found it sweet, and the two of you could have reconnected.

A two hour drive is workable. If you really feel like you had a natural connection with this girl and she obviously liked you, don't let this chance slip away dude :'(
 
OP, it's all good dude. Move on. Maybe you'll cross paths again somehow, but don't be a creepo-- especially 'cause she doesn't know how much you're agonizing over this. Letting everyone on GAF know about it wasn't a good start anyhow.

I can't tell who's joking any more.
 
Pack it up boys, he's not gonna do shit. He fucked up, time to move on. From now on, every time you go to sleep you'll think about this moment and get hit by a wave of regret and sorrow that won't let you close your eyes. Well played OP.

It's not a joke, though I don't mean to imply he'll be eternally unhappy or anything. Just that he will always wonder what could have been.

And the indication that she is an amazing girl is that OP drove for hours just on the off chance he'd be able to see her. You don't do that if you don't think she's pretty great.

I just want OP to be happy :(

He didn't drive for hours, he walked across the street from his hotel.
 
Plot twist. Did she ever exist?
Maybe OP is a ghost. Or a ghostwriter. Maybe he's writing a book. A romantic book. A romantic book about bank robbers. Maybe he's a bankrobber himself. Maybe it's a new take on Bonnie and Clyde with ghosts. Maybe he's the writer of the movie 'Ghost'. Look it up, it's a ghost love story. It even has a banker. It's written by Bruce Joel Rubin. Maybe OP's name is really BackLogJoel and the name is just missing an L. Take the L. Maybe 'Ghost 2' is on Joel's backlog. And here we are, watching it unravel.

He knows where she works. If she listed it as her employer and doesn't have privacy settings turned on there's an outside chance he can find her.
You could also set up a premium Strava account so that I could use that feature which tells you other 'athletes' who have been in the same area. Then I would have probably gone for a jog for a few blocks around her workplace and the lunch spot so that it would generate some data. Then you come back in a few weeks, check your strava and see if she pops up as a nearby runner in the area. If nothing else it will give you more data points on where to find her, and if she's a regular runner you'll know what times so you can bump into her accidentally next time you're in town.
