I'd bet we've all had at least one. In the movie "Summer of '42", near the end, the narrator utters my favorite movie line: " I was never to see her again. Nor was I ever to learn what became of her." Can you relate to that in your own way? I sure can.

Oh yes in deed! Very much so. I will write this line. She left and went away and found out you were taken so she moved on but you will always be there on her mind.

Yeah I think it's only natural to wonder about "The one that got away" I think everyone has that one person, that they think about and wonder about what might have been, especially if they are unhappy in their current relationship situation.
Looking back and wondering, is kind of counter productive, I think, however. Everything that happens in our lives happens to us for a reason, and leads us to who we eventually become. It is easy to look back at an old relationship, and say, "Wow, that was the best" Hind sight is always more Rosy than the actual history was. If a person is no longer in your life, there was a reason for that departure from your life. Time is a funny thing, it erases hurt, and makes things seem, in time, a whole lot better to us than they probably, actually were.

I sure can. Ten years ago a spent an amazing summer with the girl of my dreams. One day we decided to go fishing at a nearby lake. We weren't paying to much attention to the fish (wink* wink*) when suddenly our canoe began rock back and forth. My fishing pole was almost bent in half! We fought with that fish for over an hour, but just as it got close enough to see how big it was the line snapped and it was gone forever. She spent the rest of the afternoon consoling me with her soft kisses. We ended up making love in the tall grass next to the lake. It was a day I wll never forget. A few days later, summer ended, I went off to college, and she stayed in our hometown. The following spring I got a wedding invitation from her. Even now, sometimes I stare off into space and think about how amazing that monster-sized fish would have looked on my wall. But, as you say, I'm sure that we all have our regrets. (sigh*)

Do I regret you bet. Do I wonder what he's up to even now? Yep. Would I change my life? NOpe. The one that got away always got away for a reason. You may never undertsand it, and always look back fondly. But, everything ends for a reason. Sometimes its as simple as timing.

I can sure relate. The one that was just perfect and that you thought wow this one is the one. Then you wonder what your life would have been if things had been different between the two of you. I do that. I think of what I would say if I ran into this person now

I can honestly say that I don't regret not being with any man that I have ever known in my life, on any level. I treasure the memories of each and everyone of my relationships that I have been in, and I know they all have had their place in my life. However, I know that I am currently with the person who I know I will always be with and the one that I am meant to be with forever. And there is no one who can make me think otherwise.

I can honestly say there are times when I think of the guys from my past that I wonder how they are...if they have their own families now, if they are happy....I truly hope so. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be who I am. And I most certainly wouldn't have my family. It's like a sweet-sadness...nostalgia I guess you could call it for the "good old days" . Ahhh to be single and 21 again....

There's this one guy I wonder about. We were in the same program at school and we liked each other. He had some personal issues to deal with and we never got together. Once he got his issues dealt with, I had met and started dating my bf. I still talk to his other guy and wonder what if, but I love my bf and we plan on getting married.. You can't get all swept up in what if's though. What's meant to be will.

Sure, you wouldn't be human otherwise but at some point you have to be happy with what you have and not spend all your time wondering about the path not taken.
