...and could go back and change something trivial without fear of the Butterfly Effect what would you change?

Off the top of my head I'd change 2 things...but not for the reason you might think (forgive me if you've heard this before)


1) At my 17th birthday party we had an all nighter at my folks house and, amongst those in attendance, was a girl I really like but I always thought she was out of my league. In the morning she wanted a shower so I supplied her with towels, showed her the bathroom and then went off for breakfast. 10 minutes later I got a shout to say she couldn't turn the shower off and needed help...I walked in to find her dripping wet and just about wrapped in tbe smallest towel - I blissfully walked on, turned the shower of with ease and wandered out....past sone of hers and my friends who looked at me in disbelief. Only after did the clearly set-up scenario dawn on me and ut turned out she liked me too. Unfortunately that ship sailed and we rained just friends.

2) I went to visit one of my friends at university. We gad previously had a 3 day 'relationship' in our teens but she hot back with her boyfriend abd we remained friends. When it came time to go to sleep I settled down on the floor but she needed to stepover me for something...she paused, looked down and said "dp you want me to sit on your face?"....I laughed it off, she looked awkward,we went to sleep and I never saw her again.

I would change those - not necessarily the sex that would have happened (would gave been my first experiences) but

1) as I got older u though constantly about the rejection they must have felt.

2) it would have given me early sex experience, now o constantly worry I'm not good at it

3) it would have been a huge boost to my confidence that us always low...even now I can't grasp why people would fancy me.

Did you ever consider the What If's...
1. What if she got pregnant
2. What if she had a disease
3. What if the jealous boyfriend was watching

It was just not meant to be so use your Time Machine wisely

On second thought...
If I went back in time I would have defiantly taken on the Girly / Leso sex experience that I had one chance at.
Out of curiosity - just once

If I had a time machine, I'd go there with you and take some pictures and video - out of curiosity

Are those 'what ifs' for me?... If so I know they were all cool because, on both ocassions, we were good friends. The first she was a virgin (she was 16 I was 17). The seconds had only had one partner and that was a friend of mine. Both were single

plus I think I've singled those out because they linger as ut was the first time I felt more than just 'fancying' a girl...it materialised as sexual advances (one more obvious than the other ) but could easily have been an obvious 'i like you' comment that I ignored.

Infact I do remember the second girl talking to me onvthe phone before our brief relationship and, as I had no idea why anybody would fancy me, i was completely oblivious to her obvious advances....she eventually gave up and said " do you know what I'm saying to you??!!!"

I guess I wish I'd discovered self confidence earlier...I still don't have it now even though my wife teases me all the time because APPARENTLY, women flirt with me all the time and I don't realise.
