Episode Date: December 15, 2024

i met the girl of my dreams. but now she's the one that got away. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

Part of me doesn't even want to talk about this story because it hurts. It is a generational fumble. I'm on a flight to Poland. I'm going to visit my family overseas, like Ken Carson overseas. As I'm boarding the flight, there's this beautiful girl sitting with her laptop open, click clacking, typing up an email or something. And I think, hmm, she's kind of cute. I kind of want to say something.

So I do talk to her. and I say, hey, do you know what time the flight is boarding? And she looks at me and she's like, I think it's boarding right now. I'm like, oh, okay, cool. That's super cool. And she's like, oh, you look familiar. I think we know each other from somewhere. And I'm like, stop the care out. I don't know you from anywhere.

But it actually ended up that we did know each other. We were pretty familiar with each other. We had mutual friends through Polish school. That's a whole other can of worms. Bolska biavochervony. Anyways, we board the flight. And as we're in the tarmac, we are hitting it off. Like D1 hitting it off.

Like on some challengers, Zendaya, phew, phew, phew. The conversation is doing so well. And she's just the cutest, man. I'm really into this girl, and I've only talked to her for like 10 minutes. And my train of thought was that, man, if I could just like get her Snapchat.

Because these were the times. This is 2017, all right? right after summer 16 Snapchat was in, all right? I'm like, man, I just kind of want to talk to her more. We start looking at our tickets and I'm like, what's your seat number? She's like, I'm like 34B.

And I'm like, damn, could it be me? I'm 14A. She looks at the plane ticket, she looks at me and says, I have an idea. And I say, okay, we board the flight. We get to my row. There's a guy already sitting down. Older gentlemen.

She taps him on the shoulder And she says Hi, sorry to bother you This is actually my brother I was wondering if I could sit next to him For the flight The guy looks at her and says Yeah of course

Yeah no problem I'll switch with you Gets up leaves Me and her are sitting next to each other Nobody was in the third seat either So it was just me and her Oh my God So you already know what's going on You know, I'm feeling the vibes.

Long story short, we really took a liking to each other. We talked the entire flight. It was probably a 10-hour flight. We talked the entire time. We landed. Everything was cool. Give me a little kiss on the cheek, and she says, hey, text me. And I said, all right, I'll text you.

A couple months go by. We're both back home. And we start hanging out. We start kicking it once in a while, just like seeing each other. and she was the best. She was the best, bro. She came to my soccer games. I didn't even ask her.

She would ask me. She'd be like, when are you playing next? And I'd be like, oh, I have a game on blah, blah, blah. And she'd be like, I'm there. I didn't even ask her. She was so forward, so supportive, so great. One day, I remember I was talking to my friends, And I was like, you know what?

I think I have a thing for this girl that I met on the flight to Poland. And they're like, oh, that's cool. They're like, how old is she? And I'm like, well, she's a senior. And they're like, dude, you're a sophomore. Like, that's weird. And I was like, is it? It's like, we're not that far apart.

And they're like, yeah, that's weird. So I knew then and there, my friends were right. They were so right. I mean, how could I date somebody that I actually like if all of my friends are going to think it's weird? I'm in high school. That's going to ruin my world. So I knew, okay, I need to end things.

I need to end them. There's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus, it's the series Stephen King calls Scarious Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-Fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.

Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. And we went on a date. We got Boba, which funny enough for me, every time I've taken a girl on a Boba date, it's over, it's done. I never see them again. So I'm never going to take my future girlfriend for Boba.

Never. Never. Even though it's fire. I love Boba. Just never with the girl of my dreams. Hell no. So we go on this date and on the car ride back. She pops the question. She's like, what are we? Because we've been seeing each other and I like you a lot. Like I think you like me. So I want to know what we are. I'm like, well, I think, you know, I just, I don't think I'm ready for a relationship. All the same BS that anybody would say. It's not you, it's me. It's me. all of that. I say all of it. Freaking textbook A to Z and she's like, think about it. I remember I pulled into her driveway. She's like, I really want you to think about it because I just think about it for me. I was like, all right, I'll think about it. And I didn't think about it.

What I thought about was what my friends were going to say. And I cut it off. And the funny thing is now I think about that girl a lot because she's the one. that got away. And the funny thing is, it was me. I was the problem. I knew I liked her. I knew I liked her.

She was so special. And I had a penalty kick. I knew which way the goalie was going to go. And I skied it. I skied it. I. Peers. Pure pressure.

When you're young, your peers, dictate a lot. They do. They do. You care about what your friends are going to think. Let's not sit here and act like that's not a part of the equation because it is. And I cared more about what other people were going to view me as dating an older woman. But I was like, and why? That is such a fumble, but it shows how other people can influence your own decisions. I knew this girl was special. I knew she was the best. She was literally everything I had ever asked for. And I don't ask for much. I just ask that you're interested. And she was interested and she was funny and she was always a go-getter. And she was into the same things that I was into. She got me in a certain

extent. And I just threw it out. We met on the flight to Poland. Like that is a soulmate story, how I met your mother type beat, but I threw it out. I threw it out. In your life, you're going to have opportunities that seem too good to be true. 100%. You're going to have people maybe that you're like, well, I could be in a relationship with this person, like it's good, but you're going to be like, you're going to find a way to talk yourself out of it because truly you're scared. You're scared. And I still deal with this, bro. Like, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. a perfect person I sometimes struggle with you know being vulnerable because in the past me being vulnerable has been used against me time and time again but at some

point like you got to think for yourself and you got to be like is this a relationship that I want to have is this something that I want to do because if it is then they won't get away you'll make it happen but if you let other people think for you there will always be the one that gets away This relationship, it wasn't even ever a relationship, we just went on dates. It was so impactful because genuinely there was nothing like it. There was nothing like it. I've gone on plenty of dates since then.

I've had a couple of relationships since then. Nothing like it. Do I regret any of it? No. I think it played out for a reason and I think that I'm going to learn something about that. I've already learned about it. Like, you've got to go with your. gut and if your gut's telling you, hey, this is a good relationship right now, you go with it.

If your gut's telling you, no, don't date this person, but your friends are like, dude, she's hot, or like, he's so fine, you should date him. No, don't date him. You don't want to date him. You feel it. You're like, I get the ick. Don't do it. Don't do it.

But if you know that someone is good for you, on some Olivia Rodrigo, good for you, then tap in. worst case you go on a few dates you date him a few months and it doesn't work out and then it's it's la vie life goes on welcome aboard via rail please sit and enjoy please sit and sit and sit play post taste view and enjoy via rail love the way but there is something to be said about other people getting in your business and standing on it literally standing on your business being like well i know you like him but he's kind of weird none of your business none of your business none of your business i don't care that he's weird i don't care if she likes yugio it doesn't matter it's not your concern that is my partner it's a person i want to be

with. I don't know if I'll ever get another opportunity to talk to her. I probably won't. And that's okay. She is after all the one that got away. Bars! But don't let this be you. If there's somebody that you genuinely like that you have a thing for and you're afraid of what other people are going to think for you having a thing with them, it's not going to matter in two, three, four years. What will matter is you having a good relationship and maybe meeting the love of your life. I don't know. I'm not saying that that will happen, but the only way to find that out is by trying, by doing it. The last thing you want to do is be thinking about the one that got away. But if you missed your chance and they got away, so be it. Opportunities come and go. Just because one

opportunity showed up doesn't mean that another one isn't around the corner. But just be careful. Because if you want to do something or you want to tell someone that you have feelings for them, you should do it. Because you don't want to be like unc. Zerky Show! I love you so freaking much.
