Another "one that got away" thread
0
As I was scrolling through the old threads in the section I saw that the last thread that resembled this was dated at Halloween last year. Being that I'm not one to necro old threads here's a new one. Who was your "one that got away"? What happened? Do you still think about them? More importantly, if you could change things and be with them, how would your life be? Think critically about that last point, would you actually be better off?
For me, there is a special someone. Someone I've loved for eight years. Her name is Alise. Her and I met our freshman year in high school and I knew from the moment I knew her (and I mean really know her because you can't love someone until you do) that I loved her. She was kind, funny, a great actress, a wonderful singer and she always knew how to turn my mood if I was having a bad day. Her eyes were green with an outer ring of light brown, her hair was blonde and naturally wavy. She was, and still is, the most beautiful woman I know. I ended up moving away, being sent to live with my Dad. We almost dated several times, but she always had a thing for another guy. She was with him until November, then things fizzled away (I know because we still talk, plus he was a piece of shit anyway).That's the shortest version of the story I can tell. I still think about her. I think about her every day, and she's frequently in my dreams. If I could change things I would. I would have spent the remainder of my high school career with her, and I know that eventually we would have ended up together (everyone that knew both of us knew that we had chemistry and they were rooting for me). I would actually be happy and my life wouldn't seem so bad because through it all I'd have her. That's obviously not the case though. So share yours, it'll be interesting.

I've had a lot of crushes in the past. Like, a lot. I was pretty well known for always having a soft spot for a lot of different people in a very short period of time. So, I guess you could say there are numerous "ones that got away", so to speak, but one that I think particularly fits is this girl named Danielle. I really, really liked her. However, by the time that I finally got my courage up to ask her out we were no longer in the same lunch period (lol, high school) and she was already dating someone else. I was bitter about it for awhile - thinking 'what if?' - but ultimately I am REALLY glad that I didn't waste my time with her. She has a lot of problems, she started smoking, she doesn't want kids (I do), she just... no. Things sometimes work out how they do for a reason. There isn't any point in thinking about what it'd be like if you could go back and do things differently. Because you can't.

I honestly have never had alot of luck with women but as i have had many failed relationships and yes i knew some were coming and thus its because of the one that got away that i dont open up anymore and like my other relationship it had lies and betrayal and maybe its because i WANT to find someone i can show my emotions to.she had a child and i can see that if you are single and you have a child that a child might be a dealbreaker 2 years ago but i was "cool" with it i didnt matter to me but she lied to me about how she had been raped(which is horrible both the lie and the actual crime) and that the father of her child was in prison and i believed her wholeheartedly and i had an assumption that being a victim of rape would have the same ramification of being asexual you know but there was a point where she wanted to have sex with me and i just kept saying no and we broke up so at that point she was the one hat got away until i found out she slept with a friend of mine,accused me of rape with my friends behind my back,and had another child before he left her so i would say that for right now i hape i can get past her and she was the one that got away.I still feel terrible

I'll let you know. I used to think I fell really hard, really fast.. but that's not true. I used to develop crushes easy, but never anything meaningful. The only person I can honestly say I really, truly connected with was my most recent ex. I still think about him all the time. I don't know if it counts, yet. Only time and therapy will tell... and it was me who left. For damn good reasons, too. All of them.. pertaining to only me, unfortunately.
