Do you have a "one that got away" in your past?

[Nathan]

In the course of life, have you had a romantic interest that ended up being the proverbial one that got away? To broaden the discussion: were you "the one" that got away?

 

[Babs2u]

It would have worked if I was the person I hoped to be. But the real me was fearful so I chickened out. It would have involved leaving everything and moving to another country.

There have been a few that "got away", sometimes via my boot in their rear ends...

 

[dusty]

Just one that didn't necessarily get away but the one I left as gently as possible. I loved him with everything I had, but he had 2 habits I would not and still won't tolerate. He never would ave stopped them and he told me that. Sorry it couldn't have been different.

 

[Imogene]

No. And no.

 

[outlander]

No regrets here. Time is very good at sweetening up past relationships. But they are in the past, best to move ahead and simply cherish special memories without obsessing about what could have been...

 

[Bella]

I got away more than once.

They say "You never forget your first love", it's true. Often in my old age now I sit there wondering if he is still alive, and did he have a good life?
I'm going back now to 1964. He was a good looker, tall, blond hair and hazel eyes, although he had Spanish parents. He did write to me twice and the last time, it was Christmas, and he wanted to wish me the best, followed by Para Siempre., (always forever.)

I have a list!

The ones that were the most fun/exciting had nothing to contribute to the program and would have held me back, the ones that had the most to offer were just duds.

And you were wise to know the difference.
