In retropsect if I consider my ex-girlfriends, I don't think any of them 'got away' as such and if they did I couldn't really care. However, especially when I was younger I used to be incredibly shy and just couldnt pluck up the courage to ask someone out or let them know I liked them. Also if I'm being truly honest, I think I've driven people away from me by being self-indulgent at times and over-sensitive. I'm good looking, intelligent, charming and witty but consistently never play to my strengths.

The one that got away.... hmmm.... well I guess each one of us could write a novel on this topic but I'll keep it short. I like to think that I was lucky enough to have something beautiful in my life, on whatever level, for a short time, and for that I am grateful. Everything happens for a reason and I would not have allowed myself other equally beautiful experiences had he not got away.

hi sweeny im bored...want to play six degrees of separation?

Sure start a thread I'll play

the one that got away?

i've only been in real love once, and he turned out to be something other than what he said he was. so, i do sometimes still think about the man i thought he was, then i remember that wasn't really him.

so the one that got away doesn't actually exist. or at least, he didn't in this guy . . .

The one that got away for me was my first ever "love"

i was scared of commitment and when he told me he loved me i ran a mile, ignored his calls and was basically very mean to him.....

needless to say he was not happy with this development and found some1 else, who he is still with 6 years later, when i c them together i can't help but think "what if" how rubbish is that?

To make it worse i know it was all my fault.....

the one that got away...would have to be my first love...my high school boyfriend. i dated him from 16-19 and i broke it off with him went i went to university (he was still in high school). about 3 weeks later i realized i made a huge mistake and tried to get back with him...unfortunatly he was to hurt and wouldn't take the chance (truly don't blame him). didn't see him for a few years and one christmas he came home and i saw him out in the bar i worked at...he tried to get me to 'chat' with him but my abusive boyfriend was also at the bar and i was to scared to talk to my ex. the hard thing is when i finally came to my senses and got rid of the current boyfriend the ex had moved out west. a couple of years ago he moved back to the area (2 streets down from my house!!!!!) with his girlfriend and their son. i have so many regrets...however if he never 'got away' i wouldn't have the best thing to EVER come into my life...my 8yr son.

and no, it wasn't you.


are you pretending too?



did i confuse you? read it again, real slow . . .

see, i have this really self-reassuring way of approaching all this.

which basically involves no regret. about anything.

point being, unless you believe in fate to an extreme degree (like, every single thing we do is predetermined), if you'd done anything differently in the past, who the fuck knows what would have happened? things could have been better, or you could have been in the wrong place in the wrong time and been knocked over by a bus the next day.

so i never regret anything.

Amen to that my green brother!

BabyGirl said:

thank you!

of course, that doesn't mean i don't think of people.

but personally, for me, there isn't any, "one who got away" because for that, i guess you'd have to think that you were meant to be together, or could have been wonderfully happy together, and i don't feel that with any of them.

TheFrog said:

I do...but que sera sera...

Hi Frog

There's nothing wrong with regretting something, just don't dwell on it.
