When I was a senior in high school I really had feelings for a girl I knew, and I finally worked up the courage to ask her out. We had a nice evening, and when I took her home after the play we saw she invited me in to watch TV with her. It was around 11:00 at night, and I had a 45 minute drive ahead of me. Naturally, I was stupid and told her that I really had to get back home.
I never got another chance to ask her out. A little over a year later she married a guy that was bad to her, and by the time she was divorced from him I was already in another relationship. I still wonder what would have happened if I'd just gone in to watch TV with her at the end of the date instead of retreating like a scared kid.
