Mine: not telling the first woman I fell in love with that I loved her. It still bothers me, to this day, that I had such a strong and real emotion that I never expressed.

I left my military school because of this. After finding out I was medically DQ'd from westpoint, I saw NO point in continuing being at a military college. I regret leaving a little, but I met my awesome fiance soon after so I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason! I might have regrets, but deep down I know they were meant to be.0 -
that how I look at things, everything happens for a reason.

Not believing I deserved to be loved by the woman who kept telling me over and over that she did, Eventually she got tired of trying to convince me.0

Not dumping my ex-fiance sooner.
When we got together, I was 15 and he was 24. It took me three years (two co-habitating) to realize that no, I wasn't just super-mature and 'special'...he simply couldn't get a girl his own age.
He's 43 now, still greasy and predatory in a limp, toothless way...and last I heard, dating some 17 year old who has (what I can only assume to be) very poor self esteem.0 -

At least you didn't make the mistake of marrying him. He sounds like a real winner =P Any 24 year old into a 15 year old is appalling to me! I'm glad you got out of that one!0 -
Same.
It was in junior high going into high school, and the only reason why I never said anything to her was because of societal constraints. I didn't particularly want the **** getting kicked out of me if I were to come out of the closet. What's worse is that I'm pretty sure she liked me too.
Ever since then I have vowed to never withhold my feelings for anyone. I resent that I had to in high school and I will be damned if I ever feel made to again.0 -
not coming out in the open sooner..i think my life would be very different0

Turning 40 next month and never having an actual girlfriend. I used to blame my career (Air Force), but now .... I just don't know how to meet someone.0

My actual biggest regret is a bit too personal, so I will share my biggest lgbt themed regret.
I wish I had just gone for it in high school! There was a girl I loved, we were best friends and we skirted around the issue of our attraction for each other, kissed and such but never had a real relationship.
I wasn't scared of what others would think, I was scared of how she actually felt. I couldn't convince myself she really cared for me (in a relationship type of way) the way I cared for her.
She's definitely the one that got away, I adored her. Glad to have any memory of her but I wish I hadn't been so insecure.0 -

online dating? Thats how I met my fiance! You should try it!0 -

Try online dating. Also, getting involved in a hobby or sports locally where you will meet a lot of people.0 -
my regret? to this day I've never been vocal to how open I am to everyone, I guess that would count me as bi, though I'd hate to be the 2nd class citizen of the gay crowd

i'm sorry about your regretful situation!
i know this is off topic, but you are soooo pretty! next time, go for it! you have nothing to lose! :drinker:0 -
yeah I get that all the time, I suppose the next step is feeling it.0

I don't know about my biggest regret ever - but I do know that I regreat not telling a girl just how attracted to her I was/am. And for the first time ever, for me, she's not just someone I'm sexually attracted to. She's someone I could see myself in a relationship with. I never told her.0

My biggest regret is telling my gf that I wasn't ready for marriage. Not because I didn't see myself with her for the rest of our lives but because I was scared of what the world would think. The irony of it is a month before she left me for this very reason I bought an engagement ring and was planning to propose, yet I had never told her I was ready to take that step.
So four months later and still heart broken I am watching her move on with someone else. I still love her and I would give anything to go back and jump in with both feet.0 -
if I had to think about it, my biggest regret was reveling in my weight. I was always a big guy, I was an acrobat. I could walk on my hands, do backflips and aerials so the fact that I was heavy was never a hindrance to what I was doing. I nicknamed myself fatjer..and was called belush in college, since the blues brothers with him doing backflips down the aisle reminded everyone of me. so I used to be the only fat guy around, but made a mark in other ways. NOW.. I REGRET sooo IT.0

My biggest regret in life is something too personal that I'm not comfortable admitting. One of my biggest regrets though is letting my low self-esteem and trust issues control my life. It ended up ruining the first relationship that I ever had with a girl, the first one I ever fell in love with. I never believed her when she told me that I was the only one for her and I guess that's what forced her to cheat on me. Maybe if I had believed her, she wouldn't have went and cheated?0

sweetheart don't blame yourself for that. a cheater will cheat regardless of the conditions of a relationship because that's what they wanted to do. definitely not your fault

I'm not friends with any of my serious exes, I don't think I could be. It seems impossible being friends with someone I once loved (especially if I wasn't out of love with them). Idk how you do it.0 -

exactly. i went through a nightmare of a 'friendship' with my first love for 4 years after we broke up. the end result? us going from loving to hating each other within that time period, and...now we've been back together for almost 2 years :laugh:0 -
Online dating is worth a shot! And you never know - you might meet someone terrific right here :-)0

Should have realized my ex was a douche bag, and should have left asap afterwards.0
-
Not getting help sooner. I shouldn't have been so stubborn. Maybe if I had gone to my school counsellor at 14 like my mother had begged me to I wouldn't have ended up with anorexia, depression & anxiety personality disorder.0

being the closest i ever came to falling in love with my ex girlfriend, and letting her walk all over me for years. never have i let a man treat me like that, why should i let a woman?0
-
Not always being myself for fear that someone might not like it. Eh that still happens sometimes. But it's getting better!0

ditto for me, i wish i had come out in college, my life would have been so different! don't get me wrong, it probably happened just the way it should have, but i got such a late start i feel like i missed out on a lot. and maybe i regret not fighting for that one girl...i will never stop thinking about her.0
