I thought you blew your nose and Cheerios and ate them every day.

(but H-Thang is really trying to make people cry with this thread . . .)

But there was one...my childhood crush. We moved away after the sixth grade, so I never got to hold her hand.

But you know me! Nothing left undone!

One day when I was about 23, I drove through our old neighborhood. I stopped at her house and rang the bell. Her mom answered!

"Anne" (not her real name, you'll see why in a minute) was off at college but was going to be home over Thanksgiving. I was welcome to come back then.

I did! Anne looked as pretty as I remembered. We had a great date and ended up at a lover's bar. Man, that first kiss was everything I hoped it would be! Childhood fantasies fulfilled!

A couple years later, my parents were watching a TV show called "Star Serach". Guess who was a contestant? Yep - Anne! She had just broken the record for most victories by an actress. I ran her down, and we had some more dates.

She went on to a successful acting career, and is still active. I got all my childhood fantasies fulfilled. So, that's as close as "one that got away" as I have.

Well just one and it's ok because the friendship that then evolved was more important

I know I got away myself and for me that's more than ok, he may or may not agree which is irrelevant because ultimately that was my decision and staying was no option

And now some good advice.....
For those stuck on someone.
do u think they consider u as the one that got away?????
I bet they don't!
So don't b a crazy freak and let it go!!!!!

Oh my goodness, no. So angry, so violent. Such nastiness.

These are more my role models, such delicate, sweet, kind thoughtful souls. Always considerate of another's need. That's me to a tee. biggrin

Well since nobody has taken this thread seriously, I'm taking the bait and am gonna share, if only because it's therapeutic. Bridget. I met her in 2006, while I was going to community college. We sat next to each other in an Algebra class. Sparks flew, we dug each other. Fooled around, whatever. But she kept her options open (while I laid all my eggs in one basket, foolishly), and another motherfucker that just so happened to share the same name as me asked her to be his lady first. It...fucked me up. Still does. I've been broken-hearted before, but not like this. Did whatever I could to numb myself, whether it be smoking some bud, drinking, or sniffing percs. We stayed in touch, she kept me interested just enough just in case she needed a rebound (which I was more than down for), and then she placed my ass in the friend zone after she broke up with the other dude. 3121 had just come out at the time, and I can not listen to it without all those memories, good and bad, flooding back to me. Fuck man, it still haunts me deeply. I have no way of getting in touch with her, I dont have her number anymore. But Jesus Christ do I still think about her often. I was deeply in love, maybe still am. Or maybe Im just in love with a memory, simpler times. Would love to run into her some time, its only been about 9 years since we last spoke. Figure we both may have grown up since then.

Get in your mouse, and get out of here!

That's tough. My experience tells me that all you can do is keep moving without putting a timetable on yourself. Even as those feelings pass through, don't let them stay too long.

Good luck moving forward.

Thank you. I think overall I have definitely moved on, but it's still there no doubt. I have this "Unfinished Business" thought that springs to mind whenever she crosses my mind. And there's other things I chose not to share in my op, simply because it would make her look like the spawn of the devil, and me an over-bearing salty ex-lover. The whole experience was just all bad, which is why getting another crack at it could right a lot of wrongs. Even as just friends, really. Get a chance to talk about some things, things that are over 10 years old and should be considered ancient history lol. But she's difficult to track down. No social media or anything. She's the very definition of the one that got away, but also the one that made me a total moron. Thank you again for the advice. To be blunt, I've never once put myself out there on the org before. I'm glad I did.
