Is it normal to still think about a person that you only took out once

long story short i went on a date about six months ago that was going great but soured very quickly toward the end of the night due to copious amounts of alcohol and antibiotics which resulted in me ruining whatever chance i had.

i don't really consider myself a relationship person and i've never really mourned for this long about a relationship, including ones that lasted for up to six months. all in all my emotions are very diminished and the only things i truly feel is fear in a flight or fight context or joy from laughter.

is it normal to still be up hung up on a person that you only been on one date with? i can understand people being hung up on people that they've been seeing for a while, but a first date? coming from a male this doesn't seem normal at all.

i don't consider myself a person to grow very attached to woman at all and i think if i succeeded in doing the deed that night (i came extremely close) that i would have just moved on to the another like i always do.

    I still think about a person I spent a perfect night with and didn't have the courage to ask out. She was pretty, funny, boho, sciencey, loved animals, and she liked me. At the time, I found it way too intimidating to date someone who was perfect for me. I didn't think I deserved it.

    Yes, I think that is normal. From time to time, I still think about this one girl I came close to having a special relationship with one night. I know we would have made a good couple. It just wasn't meant to be though. She has surely moved on now, and I am stuck living in the past. It is a habit I need to break...
