Yes!

To the people ITT claiming this entire thing is creepy: the assumption here is that OP is a pretty normal, nice dude, and that this was a genuine missed connection. Not advocating overstepping boundaries or playing internet detective. Just a simple "second chance" encounter based off information the girl gave. If it doesn't work, I don't think anyone here is advocating for the OP to push any further.

Full disclosure: I don't actually think it's going too far. He leaves a note, then fucks off. If she calls, she calls.

OP everybody saying "GO!" actually want to see you fail! Don't you see? What are you trying to do is super creepy!

Naw. She gave him strong obvious signs, told him where she would be later, and was frustrated when he didn't take the shot. I'm rooting for him.

Green light to engage, OP.
Just once though or else it becomes stalking.
 
Ask whoever is behind the counter if they know her. Especially if they're cleaning a glass with a rag, they'll tell you anything you want.

If I were her, and I was really into that dude, I wouldn't ever show up at that spot again after he staked it out. Even if it was a decent attraction, some things set off warning signals and that's one of them, even if OP's intent isn't that.

But you're not, so there's always the chance she might appreciate the effort.

Different strokes. If it were me, I'd think it was kind of sweet. But again, I would never want to be overly presumptive about the situation, and I definitely don't advocate scaring the girl.

I might be more likely to respond favorably if the note mentioned the OP had come with friends based off my recommendation. After all, OP's mates already asked her if they were going to meet up again. I'd just think it looked like an elaborate attempt at a chance encounter.
 
Raise you dongers GAF.

OP needs a fucking senzu bean and a backbone now, don't fail him.

Optimism isn't just blindly doing shit in the hopes that things will work out. In this situation, he can walk away with valuable life experience and return fresh and with a better, even more reliable date.

It really depends on how the situation went down. We aren't there, so only OP knows. And how she truly feels is up to her. Most girls that I met before my current relationship pretty much dropped their name in the conversation. Hell, she could be shy though. In this situation, for the sake of her sanity and his, I'd pay the bill and bounce out smiling because I know I'm gonna do better next time.
 
OP watch this and get back in there

Hold your ground! Hold your ground!

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails,

when we forsake our friends

and break all bonds of fellowship,

but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,

when the age of men comes crashing down,

but it is not this day!

This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear,

I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

I have to go back to my conference. I had an hour for lunch. I have a plan, though. She started off at her current payroll gig as a bank teller. I asked her if she ever had anyone demand money and we talked about how current bank robberies were never planned and you end up getting caught a block away.

So I'm going to go the the bookstore here, buy a book on famous bank robbers and leave a note inside and take it to her work. She's on vacation this week so I won't run into her and make it awkward. I'll tell the receptionist she left the book on the plane. I'll put a note inside apologizing and I'll leave my name and number. It will be up to her then.

Oh dude, lighten up a bit. Dude has nothing to lose if he waits a little.

Stop with this unpleasant negativity.
