The last was a woman from Canada who is visiting over here for a month.She contacted me and explained she was travelling but we chatted a little online and we went for a drink. I have been looking to relocate country for a while now and Canada has been on my mind so I explained this to her as I wanted it clear that I was happy to meet up seeing as there was a potential reason to stay in contact. I am not after a one night thing or anything so probably wouldn't have pursued had this not been a potential.Anyway, I'm almost saddened to say it was the best date I've been on so far! It's frustrating that I couldn't have met someone I liked as much closer to home. So now she is heading back and I am keen to stay in contact.However we have only met once! So I am aware that it is silly to dwell on things too seriously but I haven't had those classic 'butterflys' in as long as I can remember. She is continuing to travel the UK but not heading back this way so I will not see her again unless I make it over to Canada.Is it silly to consider trying to get to know each other further with the idea it may lead someone after only one date even though we seemed to get on so well?How would you play it? Would you let it go, casually keep chatting or be honest and brazen with the notion that this could be the only way to make it happen? Reply to this Question

Its easy to be charming for a night.

 If she wanted to pursue a potential relationship she would have indicated this in some way, either by word or by returning to say goodbye.
My gut instinct is that the date went so well because on her part there was no pressure to "perform" as it was a once off.
Unless she approaches you again and indicates otherwise I'd let this one pass.
