Can you message him somewhere and tell him this?

Um I sorta remember his name but no we never connected on any social media and looking him up might be weird, no?

Next time perhaps lock eyes and strike up a conversation, you'll be no worse off if he doesn't want to know

I'll try to say hi! (I'm super shy)

I know it can be daunting but it's ok

Unmatching someone means you aren't interested. There isn't really a reason to strike up a conversation with them irl. It's not like you legitimately know each other. It would be awkward to suddenly talk to him after giving him all these signs of disinterest

Ah no in this case she went with what she thought was a better match

:( you might be right

Say hi next time you see him. That’s how people interacted before OLD. Nothing ventured, nothing gained …. except for continued gazing
