The One That Got Away

**slunk** · 01-09-2017

When I was in 7th grade this girl moved into my area and started going to my school. It was one of those things where you see someone and without even knowing them you feel an attachment to them. I was way to shy to approach girls until my sophomore year of high school, when one of my friends introduced me to this girl he was friends with and we started going out. When that fling ended and I gained some confidence to get to know the girl I mentioned previously, I learned that she was with someone else. I waited for them to split up so I could make a move, but as luck would have it they never did. Now she goes to college across the country from me.

I haven't thought about her for a while, but I'm reading this book called Musashi and one of the characters is going through something similar, although I'm not making a dangerous journey across the country in pursuit of her, haha. It reminded me of her so I thought I'd post this.

Anybody want to share their "one that got away" story?

Don't have any one that got away stories as I am believer in "catch and release."

Look her up on facebook and maybe she will post when she and her beux split up. Then you can plan how you can get across the country coincidentally to help her pick up the pieces.

I don't have any 'ones' that got away stories. I've been lucky as in the ones I liked, liked me and we had relationships.

However a few men from high school I've seen since have said how much they liked me etc and I never knew, not at all. They give no signs at the time. That's kinda ones that got away because maybe if they approached me in flirty manner, who knows what would of happened or where we would be today.

She has social media but rarely uses it, which is even better for me honestly. I'm not too interested in girls who are addicted to their phones, which is somewhat rare at my age, haha. It may be too late, but you never know, it's a small world.

When those guys told you they liked you when they were younger, did they ask you out? In all honesty, I'd feel odd telling somebody I liked them when I was younger, but never said anything to them at the time. I feel like they would take that as I lack confidence or something of that sort.

At least you had some time together. My, and probably most peoples, biggest regrets are what we didn't do. Although, I can empathize with the feelings that come from losing someone or something special. Sometimes it hurts worse than never knowing what could have been.
