Re: WHY YOU ARE NOT SUCH A DORK

If you separate yourself from your emotional attachment to your T for a moment you might notice that what you did (or did not do) was entirely normal as viewed from the outside. It's not as if you saw him coming then hid in the bushes, or walked right past him without acknowledging his presence. He was already in his car by the time you got out of yours; dashing out and rapping on his window would not have been inappropriate, but neither would it be "expected." You waved in case he looked in your direction... it's the kind of "near miss" encounter that happens routinely.

Of course, I completely understand that this event was emotionally-charged for you, and that you would second-guess your behavior. But by no means did you behave foolishly... it simply didn't play out the way you'd have preferred. That's not your fault at all; it's just a quirk of circumstance (as was seeing him there in the first place!).
