Ever have your favorite dancer NOT regognize you?

Yesterday I went a club I visit on a pretty regular basis. In fact, it happend to be my third visit in the past 8 days. Anyway, instead of my typical attire, for the first time I wore a ball cap, shorts, sneakers, and no glasses. At first it was no problem. The doorman and manager recognized me and the waitress brought over my regular drink as soon as I sat down. The only one who didn't notice me was my favorite dancer!
When I walked in she was working the room, and I swear she looked in my direction about three times and even passed my table a couple of times but there was no eye contact, no smile, nothing. At one point she even sat down with two gentlemen at the table next to me. One of her friends noticed me and sat down to say, "hello." She asked if I had seen my favorite dancer yet, and I pointed out that she was sitting at the next table. We talked for a few minutes and then she offered to let my favorite dancer know I was there, but I asked her not to. I was curious to see how long it would be before she noticed me on her own. After about 20 minutes I almost started wonder if she was purposely avoiding me, and I started to ask myself if there was anything I had said or done lately which might have upset her.
Finally after about 40 minutes I took my hat off, and when she walked again she recognized me. It was funny to watch the expression on her face change once she knew who I was. I got a big smile, a warm hug and we shared a good laugh. She even explained that when she saw her friend sitting with me, that she was going to avoid the "new guy" in order to give her friend a chance to work it. Too funny!
Anything like this ever happen to you?
