Have you ever been in a situation where someone you were really into rejected you but many months later had an epiphany and realized they made a mistake?

Yup, sure have.0

This isn't really the same situation, but I had a huge crush on this kid and last fall, he came up to me and was like "you've matured so much. you're beautiful now." but nothing happened!0
-
No, but I'm definitely hoping it will happen0
-
Not that they've ever told me about.0
-
No, but I was always the reject-er, not the reject-ee.
I don't think I've ever had second thoughts, either.
I'll get back to you if I ever actually go on a date. I am sure I'll face rejection regularly.0 -
I did this to someone, and we ended up in a relationship after I had this epiphany...but it was short-lived (2 months or so). I was genuinely happy in the beginning of the second try. I had my reasons in the first place but sometimes you talk yourself into giving someone another shot...there may be things you like about them, but in my opinion, if there was enough, you wouldn't have rejected them in the first place. That is just my situation though, I am sure there are exceptions!0

Yeah. Horrible mistake. Ended up getting a restraining order0

No, but what's your story? :bigsmile: Or are you just hoping?0 -

I anticipate that to happen in about 2 months. Too little, too late. At least she'll know it's her fault.0 -
Initially, my current girlfriend wasn't willing to date me exclusively. She didn't want to do a long-distant relationship. About a week later, she changed her mind.
I'm so glad she did!0 -
No,they were all pretty certain that they wanted nothing to do with me for all eternity. :laugh:0
-
Been on both sides of this. Nothing happened in both cases.0
-
Trying to realize that now.. But my situation is in this weird limbo.
That has been the case in the past, and will probably end up being the case again.
*Sigh*0 -
Nope. Never had it happen. I'm done I'm done. They're done they're done.0

Oh man... I dated someone for a little over a year. He broke up with me and then 4 months later came crawling back. Spent months trying to get back in my good graces. I finally caved, we dated for 9 months and he broke up with me again 2.5 weeks ago... Has been texting me since and told me last night he wished he had a time machine to go back and not make such a huge mistake.. Blah..0

I have had the epiphany before.... it didn't last long.0
-
No, but I'm definitely hoping it will happen
Me too LOL0 -
Yeah I have and I got sweet sweet revenge haha.0

Ditto.
This happened A LOT with chicks from high school that hardly gave me the time of day back then. But even more recently, yeah. But ya know what... tough *kitten* & take a hike. :flowerforyou:0 -
Sure have...and damn...what a lost its been for them.
My ex-girlfriend is in that position now as are 2 ladies that continue to try to reconnect with me.0 -
Several of the guys I was somehow involved with in the past have pushed me away then put me up on a pedestal, telling me they didn't deserve me. Sadly, I have had to agree with them most of the time.
Never wanted someone back that I dumped though.0 -
YES! and i usually dont hear back from them until i am 100% completely over it and have absolutely no interest in revisiting the past0

I forgot another one. My first wife left me for a guy. Three years later she wanted to get back together. My answer: No chance0

Hahaha ooooh man wow. Damn right, NO CHANCE!0 -
Yes, but usually by time they realize it, I've already moved on.
The most poignant one for me was my best college guy friend. We did everything together senior year. But I knew I wasn't his type (thin and blonde) so I moved on and dated others even though we still hung out a lot as friends. Months after I got married, he calls me realizing he missed having me by his side. My marriage was already a mess (sigh) and I was really tempted to renew our friendship. But I told him I couldn't talk to him anymore because I was married.
I remember being mad at him for not having expressed interest while I was still single... I might never have married a guy who turned on me during our wedding reception. He's degraded significantly (drunk) so it wouldn't have worked out any better.0 -
My ex and I were together about 2 years...about a year after we broke up he contacts me saying how he missed me and was wrong about things....I had grown from our relationship so I didn't take him back...he tried it again about 6 months ago and again I didn't want him back...I think he realizes he lost a great person.0
-
Nope. Usually when I get rejected. I stay rejected...
That was a long time ago though.0
