The One That Got Away

[MikeHawk]

ever had that girl that you almost convined you were a good guy but she went for the more cooler rich type? I got lucky...she didn't get away. we live together and have two dogs and nice furnitures.

i'd love to hear your stories.

I fell in love at first sight many many years ago. Events took us in different directions and I though I'd lost him forever.
We found each other nearly four years ago and we're as happy as pigs in shit  ;D

i still have a picture of the one that got away. i keep it on my desk at work. it falls under the category of desk flair  :-/

The only time I dated someone that I thought was "the one that got away" was when I was 14-15.  He's friends with my current beau and when I saw him again just a couple of New Years ago, I had zero feelings towards him.  I realized that I was enamored with him because I was hormonal and young and had never been loved before.  Now, I honestly believe he's struggling with his sexuality.  But that's starting to get off topic...

sometimes ignorance is bliss......for that moment when you believed you were sooo in love you were.  now you know better and realize that it was just hormones. tell that 15 year old that it's just hormones and they believe in their hearts that it is really more.

No joke.  The feelings I felt were real to me.  And I may have been irrational at times but so what?  I think it's hard to remember that when you're older and can look back on those memories with experience and hopefully wisdom.  

[MikeHawk]

i think you better look back at it with wisdom. it would probably hurt now more than before. like i said i got lucky, and it came along totally unexpected and took no effort. i was me and she was her, never tried to be anything i wasn't or couldn't possibly be.

i was me and she was her, never tried to be anything i wasn't or couldn't possibly be.  

This simple concept is lost on so much jealousy and insecurity.  And that's so sad.  The key to relationship success is right up there.  

[MikeHawk]

i have alot of younger people at work here and some of the guys ask me for advice with girls (dont know why they ask me). but that's all i can tell them. be yourself that way you will never get caught up in being someone you are not and you wont have to worry. if she doesn't like you for you then she isnt for you

[Spider_Beard]

i thought i let one get away, but i am realizing that she wasn't right for me. but i'm not sure anyone is, i'm an emotional cripple  :'(

[MikeHawk]

you realize now that you THINK she wasn't the one. she wasn't the one.

Yes, but the wonderful thing is that you finally found the person you were meant to be with and we have seen just how beautiful your little one is.  That must be reward enough for all of the struggles before the ultimate joy!
