Mine was entirely due to the fact I was a kid pretending to be a grown arse man.

But the feels are still there occasionally.

quote:Correct. Sometimes people just aren't on the same page, and develop differently. They are rarely the same person years down the line, so it wouldn't work anyway.
Those relationships have almost no chance of lasting long term because one side eventually feels that they didn't really live life and try something else
I can say that I wish I didn't cheat on this one awesome chick, but I wasn't getting enough, and it probably would've just gotten worse.
Now, if we're talking about girls we've never dated, yes I have one. I didn't make the move when I should've, and we only hooked up twice. She was shy about being in a relationship, and the way she dealt with that was to try and get me to date her friends. She ended up dating a buddy, but they were completely wrong for each other. After we graduated, she moved to New Zealand and then California. We developed into doing almost the exact same jobs, and having the exact same interests, and I think our lives would mesh perfectly together just like they did before. My family likes her, and her family likes me.
Now, she's back in her hometown, but it's 5hrs away, so that's not plausible. I'd date her in a second if she was closer. I still regret not making a move once every week or two. She's been single for a long time, but alas, that's the one who got away.

Wonderful person. Genuinely beautiful inside and out. But was just too much effort. I would've lost my sanity trying to provide her with some.
Sounds exactly like mine that got away. smh

I wanted to travel and she wanted to get married. I chose traveling and wound up in Brazil for several years.
I made the right choice

Mine's more like the one I had to let go.
Cute, brilliant, ambitious and charming.
But after a while I knew that 2 alphas under one roof would not work.

I have one like that. She was and still is very attractive, and we were both feeling it. Issue was I had dated her sister for quite awhile not long before and didn't want things to get weird. We hung out a few times but I never made a move. Really regret that one. 
We're both married now.

A long time ago, I was in a post HS/early college committed relationship.
A gymnast that I had dated a few times in the past was pursuing me pretty regularly. I blew her off repeatedly because I was "in a committed relationship", so she gave up after a few months.
Fast forward a few years - I married the committed relationship. She cheated on me a bunch of times and we were divorced in under two years. Never saw or heard from the gymnast after the original pursuit.

Mine was someone I dated in college. We went our separate ways, but I never forgot about her and thought we would get back together at some point. She later had an affair with her boss and married him after he divorced his wife, so I guess she was not the person I thought she was. I saw a picture of her recently and she has not aged well. I've found someone with whom I'm very compatible, so it all worked for the best. But you know what? Despite all that, I still think about her once in a while, and I probably always will.

Don't use that excuse if you're really interested. It's not ideal, but lots of people make it work.

the girl i was obsessed with in high school went to TCU and while i was home from college one weekend we started talking via AOL chat one night. we talked for 3 hours and she told me how she always thought i was cute and wished we would have spent more time together
she asked if i wanted to come over the next night so i did. i went over there and we hung out with her friends and by the time they left it was like midnight and i had an hour drive. i was young and stupid and had to be at work at 8am the next morning so i told her i had to get home and i drove home.
the second i left i wondered "what the F did i just do?" she never returned my emails/phone calls after that. i still to this day have no clue what i was thinking. was i too scared? i think i thought she was too out of my league.
i try to make myself feel better by telling myself "what if you would have knocked her up?"

Dude, there's no way to start a relationship with someone 5 hours away. Would the first date be on Skype? I've had a relationship where we lived an hour away, and that definitely turned out bad. I'll just keep my hopes up that she randomly decides to move down here. Besides, my buddy who dated her is living with me now. Talk about awkward

Fought it for a long time. Couldn't seal the deal.
Every time I look at a menu I get misty-eyed.
IRL I'm the one that got away. Several times.
