It was too late to contact the guy (this was before mobile phones) so after making sure the daughter was OK we decided to go and meet him, explain what had happened, and if he was OK to us (and us to him) the next meeting would be at our place.
We met him and after the wife had given me the nod that he was OK we explained the situation to him, he was disappointed but it could not be helped, I went off for a round of drinks...

This sounds VERY much like an interaction I had a long time ago when I was living in another country and just starting to meet people for connections like these. I met with the couple at a pub and we hit it off, but they had their daughter at home and couldn't bring me back. They ran a B&B and normally the wife would slip into the guest's room and play, but with family in the house they weren't comfortable with that. I was bummed, but took it well enough that they were very complementary. They were 20 years older but still in reasonable form (I'm no athlete either) and we got on well. But that was one near miss in a period of a half-dozen other hits, so it lead to good things and taught me a lesson about being gracious when things are called off.
I like your story where they guy got a handful of tit in the pub better, tho!
