How should I have handled this situation?
this is going to be long (like most of my post are)... here it goes...
So I've had a crush on this guy, we'll call him "Caleb" since about October. I've seen him around my church but we have never been introduced, however I had done some investigating to find out his name, age, and other things. Friday night we had a Christmas party for the college aged students at our church. We ended up both being there, but before I got there somone who knew I like him, went up and told him that the only reason I came to the college student stuff was b/c I thought he would be there. Of course he wanted to know who I was. My friend "amanda" introduced us when I got there and I ended up sitting by him during dinner and the activites that followed. He made a comment to me about how quiet I was being (i'm always quiet around guys I like). Before he left he told Amanda that i had "Potential" I just needed to talk more.
Amanda and I had plans to go out after the party so we had asked Caleb what he was doing. He had another party to attend then he was going to one of the bars. Amanda and I ended up going to a different bar first then she had to go home. So I called another girl I met recently but I don't really know all that well. she goes to my church too and said she was planning on going out that night too and we could go wherever I wanted to so of course I wanted to go where caleb was going to be.
When we got there it was kind of dead, but I went ahead and had a drink. Before caleb got there I had a margarita, long island iced tea, and a sex on the beach. Both the Tea and S.O.T.B. were STRONG! Needless to say I was pretty sloshed at that point. As I'm coming out of the bathroom I run into Caleb. He was on his way to the bar to get a drink. We spoke for a min. (can't remember what I said), then he went off to get a drink. I returned to my table. Before he could leave the bar some girl more drunk than I was practically attacked him, and he danced with her the rest of the night. I saw him try to walk away several times, but she just kept grabbing his arm.
Well in my drunken state I was so over dramatic about the whole situation! The girl I went to the bar with started talking with some guy. His roommate started talking to me. For some reason I got it into my mind that I was going to have a random hookup that night. So I told my friend I was going home with the guy (we'll call him "Rob" since I don't really remember his name")... I'm not sure what his intial reaction was when I told him that I was going home with him, but most guys don't refuse!
Anyway, I ended up back at his apartment, we had our fun, then when I woke up in the morning he drove me to where my car was. Thank god he was still cute when I woke up the next morning! This was my first (and probably last) random hookup and I don't even remember his first name. He could remember where I used to go to school, b/c he asked me when I was going back there as I got out of his car. I said "i'm not" (cause I'm transfering to the college here in my hometown) "bye" and shut the car door.
There are two big issues with this whole thing...
#1... Caleb is a virgin. I'm sure all of the "potential" I had is now gone IF he saw me leave to go and hookup with that guy. The bar we were at wasn't very big, we were all there until the bar shut its doors, and I wasn't exactly being quiet about the whole ordeal.
#2.... I can't get random guy out of my head. It wasn't necessarily great sex. I've had better, plus he was on the VERY small side. BUT I felt some kind of connection with him when I was talking to him. He was so sweet when I woke up the next morning. Clearly he didn't regret it since he wanted to go at it again, i was majorly hung over so I declined. I don't know if I'll ever see him again though considering I don't the even know his name... hmm, maybe I shoulda asked him before I drove away.
So should I just let random guy stay forever random, or should I try to find him?
