Was she the one that got away?

So I've got a pretty peculiar situation going on that I'm not totally sure how to go about handling. About two months ago at a restaurant/bar in town I sometimes frequent, I hit it off really well with a waitress who was serving my table. This girl was astoundingly beautiful and I luckily I played it pretty smooth and got along really well with her. I remember she was really nervous serving my table because she usually worked as a bartender, but I kept being really nice and complimenting her on well of a job she was doing. (She really did do a good job). I think this made her really happy and at the end of the night on the check I wrote in really big letters, "BEST WAITRESS EVER" and gave her a nice tip. Anyways, I came back to the bar about two more times and kept hitting it off and on the third time being there I actually asked her on a date pretty much just straight up while she was working behind the bar. Unfortunately she told me she was kind of in the early stages of seeing somebody else, but she really liked me, thought I was cute and confident for asking, etc... She also stated that she really would keep me in mind in the event her and her "boyfriend" split. Now I know good looking bartenders probably get hit on 10,000 times a night, but I can't shake the feeling this girl actually liked me. The two times I walked into the bar after the first night of meeting her, she always met me with a huge smile and seemed really happy to see me. So I'll admit, I was a little bummed with the failed attempt, but it wasn't a big deal really. But here's where it gets interesting. I never told her my name. For some reason it just never came up in conversation... (At least I don;t remember it coming up...) But I knew her first name. And after that failed attempt of asking her out I was determined to keep coming back and trying to hit if off with her. But after that night I never seemed to be able to run into her again... I either kept showing up on nights she wasn't working or possibly she ended up quitting the job? I don't really know. I kept asking other people that worked there what happened to her and I never got a really good answer. (I seriously came to this bar on like 15 more occasions looking for her and never saw her again.) It got to the point where I pretty much just accepted my fate and decided I was an idiot for at least not giving her my number that night I asked her out. But then something crazy happened... I was surfing Facebook the other night and what do you know, her face pops up as one of my suggested friends... Turns out we have one mutual friend together. Now this is like two months since I have last seen her. And from the picture and name it is totally her. So here's my question... Do I add her and try to talk to her? Will she even remember me? Don't forget that I don't think I ever told her my name and I also had fairly long hair when I met her. Which in none of my FB photos do I really have that. So she may just think I am some random weird dude. I really would love to re-connect with her but is this the best way to go about it? I don't really see any other options at this point.
