Realizing you had a chance with a crush long after the opportunity leaves. lol

So I'm not getting all mushy but I think that this is a really great conversation piece. I'm sure this kind of thing has happened to everyone once under similar or different circumstances or means. But anyways, here is my story. Going back a semester at my university, in one of my science labs, my lab group consisted of 3 other people. One of the people in the lab group was a girl maybe a few years younger than me. From the start of the semester I really didn't notice her that much, thought she was kinda weird and wasn't very attracted to her. From time to time in lab, I noticed her looking at me, or paying extra attention to me at times, but really didn't think much of it (whenever this happens I normally just feel flattered ya know?). So time goes on (a month or two), and we all start getting to know a little bit about each other, and at first I was in denial, but class after class, through my eyes this girl was getting prettier. Then, after more time, I notice that some of the things she likes, or how she thinks, even the fact that she was a great student (most good looking girls I've met at school are just dumb) really impressed me. At that point it hit me that I had a crush on this chick. Moving forward, the end of the semester approached and even though I tried in small ways I was never able to really make a move (could definitely tell she had a shy personality too). At that point, I didn't even know if she was in to me (for reference I am not a bad looking guy). Anyways, getting to the title of this discussion, 7 months later, I notice through a few friend of friends on Facebook a familiar face.. Its that girl! So of course I check her out, and start to realize that yeah I should have gone all out when I had the chance. and that she probably would have thought well of me if she had not already. But, that opportunity is gone and doing anything this long after would be straight up creepy so its something to let go. What do you guys think? Can anyone top this? I know its nothing great, but, talking about and hearing about this kind of thing really makes you feel human.
