The one that got away...

[Watchmacallit]

Does anyone have a girl or guy that got away? That one you were too afraid to be with or just too stupid/ignorant at the time.

I feel like I might be letting one get away (Thank you so much depressing threads that screwed my night xD)

I'm not really emotional but guys and girls, tell the escapist your stories. And if you didn't screw up like the rest of us join in and tell us stories of hope

I don't know if this has been done before but it seems to be in tune with the depressing topics that have popped up.


I am off to bed, its way too late for this depressing crap

I knew a guy back in college, during my first year. He kept saying "if I was gay, I'd love to date you" to me. I found out later he WAS gay, but due to my own shyness, combined with not yet being ready to come completely out of the closet to a large amount of people, I never really spoke to him, and never saw him after my first year of college, despite the fact that IF I'd told him I was gay, we would have ended up dating.

There was a girl I was dating many years ago. It was the first case of "real love" for both of us and in all honesty we met just a bit too young, neither of us were quite ready for the depth of the relationship we had. It ended...badly...I got dumped minutes before I was going to propose. After a couple brief flings that didn't make her feel the way it was with us she began reaching out, but we just never got the timing right...one of us always had someone else...There was a time, years ago, when everything was falling into place but she got cold feet (by this time we lived on opposite coasts) and she bolted at the last second. We both still love each other, but after all these years and too many misfires I don't see it ever working.

 

[Marter]

Yeah.

She moved provinces 3 days after we met one another.

 

[rokkolpo]

Oh god yes, cutest girl ever, always smiling.

Then she moved and became goth >_>
Holy fucking shit.

Only girl I ever loved.

There was this one kind of candy at a local um... idk what you call them big fruit things any way, I loved that candy so much and thought about it often ... when I finly relised how much time I had wasted not eatting the candy I really wanted (insted of crappy candy)it was to late when I went to get the candy they said they didnt make it any more


I still think of the candy now and then, and what could have been....

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Yeah, probably the most amazing girl I ever met. I was already with someone though and I had no idea how she felt :/

 

[hawkeye52]

had the opposite and asked her out but she turned out to be lesbian

The one that got away? more like The 10 or twenty. happens to me all the time like it no big deal. i start liking someone and they either move or fall madly in love with someone eles but o well, because right now if things go according to plan i may actually get to be with someone but i'm not holding my breath.

I was fishing with my dad years ago at a local series of small lakes early in the morning. Anyway, something took the bait and ran with it heading across the other side of the lake. I whittled it down for about 10 minutes before it had another burst of energy and snapped the first two sections of my pole off.

It was a decent pole with a line on it which should have been able to handle anything in the lake, so god knows what it was that took it but I'll always remember it as the big fucking fish that got away.

As for women, yeah loads of them. I usually like a girl, say absolutely nothing, then they get with a guy and seem really happy so I figure I made the right choice with my silence. They are far happier with those guys than they ever would be with me.

Well frankly I wouldn't know because I am one of those too stupid/ignorant types when it comes to members of the opposite sex. A few.

I let the perfect girl out of my sights only once. This event has forever changed how I look at the world. There I was, prime of my life and feeling confident; I was hitting the gym harder, getting better grades, and meeting plenty of new people at college. However, something was missing... no not something but someone, someone to share it with. So one Sunday night I go through my contacts list when I come upon one of a lovely girl I met named S. I call S. knowing it has been at least a month or more since we last talked As soon as she answers the phone I realize that I made the right choice. The excitement in her voice palpable and it felt great talking to her again. Before hanging up we decide to meet up the next day and long story short we started going out. The time spent with her was amazing, every second we were together I could tell that we completely complemented each others quarks. It was going great until the day she had to move (reasons I wont go into). She had a choice, move in with me or leave the state. We were only going out for a few months so she left, it seemed right at the time, after all we were both pretty young. It worked for a month but eventually our relationship crumbled. She was my soul mate, and I will say that no relationship since has compared.

There was the sister of a friend of mine. Damn she was freaking hot, damn funny and smart. I never tried much. Then i moved town and she, after about a year invited me to her 18s birthday. Damn that was great, i had a lot of fun with my old buddy, and then at the party she started flirting, and around midnight or little later, she said she wanted to go to a place a lil bit more relaxed (her party was an industrial-goth theme, in a modified parking basement of a former chemistry corp.) so we drove to our favourite bar in town and talked, not much later she was all like " i am so tired, lets drive home" so we did. She changed into her pyjamas and we talked in the kitchen with a bottle of wine. We were at the empty house of her parents she moved out there shortly before so there was no furniture in her bedroom and we "sadly had to" share a matress on the floor.
Damn then the signs became the ovioust ever. BUT , there had to be a but. I had a gf back home.so i played the foolish idiot that doesnt get her signs. And turned over to sleep.
Next day i said gbye to my buddy that was on that party till 8 am. While we talked she went out the bathroom, just wrapped in a towel "oh....good morning" with an evil (yeah thats what you missed jerk) look...and thats the last i have seen of her.
When i came home late at evening, i got a call from my gf...and she broke up....damn me damn me damn me for being a good guy once in life.

if i get to "quickload" back in life for just one day. i know what to do

Was she quiet? I hear the quiet ones are the first to go crazy

 

[jrubal1462]

Only one that I really regret. Before her, the two previous girls I went out with, we basically started the relationship knowing that one of us was leaving in a month or so (the 2nd one I only found out she was leaving AFTER I worked up the courage to make something happen, which took about half a year.) Throuhout both of these relationships the fear of the upcoming split prevented me from getting too close to them. After that, I met this amazing girl, who fit so perfectly. She's amazing to chat with, we met at church, and most of all, she's a huge mets fan. I felt it was unfair to start another relationship with an expiration date. I was graduating and moving 12 hours away for grad school in about a month, and she still had a year left at our University. I painfully convinced her it wasn't a good idea to get involved, 'cause I had been down this road so many times.

Kids, don't do that. Regret of the unknown is a terrible feeling

Not all that quiet...just always smiling and happy.

 

[FamoFunk]

Not yet... I've been in 2 relationships which were crap so finished myself.

I prefer to just mess about.

 

[nunqual]

I had one girl like that. I got over her. Now I'm dating a wonderful girl who I love very much.

By the way, it should be 'The one who got away.'

 

[Ace of Spades]

Yep, and I didn't even realize she liked me until one of my female colleagues explained the concept of "aggressive flirtation" to me. I don't fault myself for not believing that taking my glasses without permission was a gesture of affection. That supposedly means that I have to focus on her, and it makes me more vulnerable, while to me, it was more akin to "I am attempting to rob you of your vision", which is one step short of a punch in the face when it comes to aggressive actions.

 

[ShadowDude112]

I may be young (14 gonna be 15 on the 28th, though technically I'm a leap year baby.) but I know when I'm in love. There's this girl who I've know since June. She's basically the coolest girl ever. She's smart, beautiful, laid back, nice, and a great friend. Well, I like her over the summer but we never hung out. Eventually I liked someone else from September to October. That didn't work out. I then realized who it was I wanted. The girl I liked over the summer. Let's call her Liz. So, I asked Liz on October 29th to go to Homecoming with me as friends and she said she'd see if she could. Eventually I realized how much I liked her. On November 15th (Yes, I have a good memory.) I went up to her and asked her out. She said she was busy with school work and sports. She's an honors student and does a lot of sports. She said we could still hang out and be friends but she didn't want to go out with anyone. I said it was okay and I thought it was. But, it turns out I wasn't. I kept thinking about her and just couldn't stop liking her. I never told her I still liked her though. The girls at my school are just huge bitches and can't get over themselves and only like pretty boys and nothing else. Eventually, it was just so much for me. I didn't understand what made this girl so special to me. My friend told me last week on the 9th "It's obvious you really care about her but she doesn't see that. She's not the one for you, dude." I guess that helped. Then last Friday on the 11th I made a status on Facebook that said I was back and better than ever and people who knew about the situation knew what I meant. So, that's all good right? Wrong. On Wednesday night I had a dream where I told her I love her and she said the same thing back. I have no clue why I had that dream though since I thought I was over her. I told my friend about it and he said to act like I did from Friday-Wednesday. I have no clue why this has to happen to me and I've totally just written something long. But yeah, this is the one who got away, I guess.
