    I'm the one that got away.

    i too am the one that got away...the ex that lost me keeps texting me....apparently he isn't completely over me even though he is engaged.

    am I the only one with a positive/happy experience?
  • @ Kits.. nope you are not the only one! I don't have a "one that got away", because honestly I don't believe in the concept. People come into and move out of my life fairly organically and for a reason, generally. I can look back fondly on some, but I don't experience regret or even loss to be honest. Then again, I think I could be happy with many different people at different times in life..depending on where I am emotionally and circumstances etc.

    Nope mine although not quite fitting criteria was definitely positive. Anything else might have left things with a bad taste. As it is its a great memory.

    They're only the one that got away until the next one shows up. I've said twice in my glorious lifetime filled with achievements, that I think "they" were the one that got away.... Funny thing is I wouldn't even go on a date with either of them now.

    I'm a lot like this. While I'm raw I think they were ones who got away, but after I heal I realize they never would have worked.

    Hmm,...Nope! I dated a doctor recently, and I had regrets about how things ended. He came back, but I was suspicious. He eventually confirmed what I already knew..tried to pressure me into having sex. I am good...Bye! The other ones..nope! Good riddance. When the right one comes a long I will know. The doctor taught me so much about men in only 6 months. He doesn't know I am done with him, but when he hears the crickets in the background the message will be sent!

    I don't really have one myself... but a little while ago I posted about a girl from church I met that had 2 kids and I was asking for tips on how to date a woman with kids.

    update, couple weeks, things going really well, but maybe a little fast... she asks to be just friends right now, and after really thinking about it, its likely the best idea for both of us right now!

    I mention her because part of me feels that this is one that had great potential, yet I don't know if she really counts as "the one that got away"... were still close and meet up now and then. And to be honest... I haven't given up on the idea yet either. But I'm allowing time to flow, without pushing, and see where it takes us both.
