Sometimes I feel as though experiences can only be experienced by those who are ready for them. To illustrate what I mean, allow me to make an analogy with science. Consider en electron in a hydrogen atom, that electron can only absorb light of a very specific wavelength, light tailored for the electron. Even though many other photons may pass, it is only those that the electron is ready to absorb that will be absorbed.

In the same way I can think of numerable examples of experiences that came and went without being at all absorbed. So the question now is, can these happenings even be called experiences at all if they haven't been experienced?

I think the problem is more complex than I've admitted to. An experience can be thought of as an multi-faceted single happening analogous to white light. Only fractions of the white light spectrum get absorbed, the rest of the light passes right through...but not quite as we have a memory and sometimes past experiences will only be really seen/experienced in the future when we are ready to experience them.
