Has there ever been a woman that you fell head-over-heel for, based on looks first then personality or personality then looks (I know men are visual) has there ever been a woman that has taken your breath away and to find out she was a great catch. Did you approach her? and if you didn't do you now kick yourself for not saying anything? I ask because many times I hear men say "I let her get away" and most important would you ever let it happen again?

I'm not as visual as most men, so for me it's always about personality. The fact that she was very, very attractive wasn't really a factor, though was appreciated.
We worked together and were always around each other in a large group environment. I approachd her to "do something outside of the group". We started "seeing" each other and due to my immaturity at the time, I was more interested in having fun, with friends\co-workers, than putting in the time and effort of growing a relationship.
It didn't hit me until years later, when I had matured some, how foolish that had been.

Yes, that did happen to me once. Many years ago I met a lady who was so beautiful, the moment I saw her the first time all I could say was "Wow!". Literally, that's all I could get out. Fortunately I was alone and didn't embarass myself. I fell for her that very evening. After the function we were both at was over I asked her if I could drive her home and she accepted. She turned out to be as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside and within a couple of weeks I was hopelessly in love. You asked if she took my breath away; each time she walked into the room my breath would catch in my throat and my heart would do something weird with it's beating. The first time I saw her in a pair of shorts, I was unable to speak. There were times she would catch me staring at her just because she was so beautiful.
About six months after we met I told her how I felt, unfortunately, she didn't feel the same. She thought of me as only a friend. I didn't let her get away, but she got away all the same. I wouldn't do anything different. If things changed and she decided that we could be together, I'd be there. Even after the eight years she's been away.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Needless to say, there have been multiple times. Growing up I had a very low confidence in myself. I could barely get out of the house let alone ask someone else out. I remember one in particular. I still remember everything about her that moment I first saw her. I think she is still interested. She is not Christian though, and neither was I. It was at least ten years ago, and I remember her facial expression, the shirt she was wearing, her pants, and how intently she was looking down on me -- literally. She was upstairs. 
She is my old friend's sister. I saw her a few times. I sent her secret admirer cards, flowers, and chocolates. I did not realize at the time what red roses meant. I thought flowers were just flowers (some things never change) and roses were the premium of them. She had a boyfriend (verified). A few years after we lost contact, I saw her again. It took a while (months) but I finally got the courage to ask her out. She knew it was coming. Well... She yet again had a boyfriend (verified). I saw her again (years later) and I am not as attracted to her physically, but she is still a knockout. Now that I am Christian, I will not be asking her out. Plus, there's someone else. Someone Christian.

if I fall "head over heals" in love with a girl because of her looks... please smack me over the head.
I miss my high school sweetheart more than any other "ex".
I have been in love quite a few times in my life.... head over heals in love.
never fun to loose those kind of relationships, but if they are not right, they are not right.

WOW that was intense, I'm glad she was just as beautiful on the inside which makes it all the sweeter.

not just with looks but with personality, to be as beautiful on the inside show on the outside. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
