Have you ever regretted rejecting someone?

So have you ever rejected someone who asked you out, and later regretted it?

And if you have, why did you regret it later?

So, yes, I do.
There was this person that I was talking to on an online dating app and everything seemed to go quite positive. I’m not sure why I was continuing the conversation, but I’m guessing it was out of respect and perhaps I just felt impolite or uncomfortable outright telling her that I didn’t like her and that she should find someone else to talk to and get to know. I found her to be a pleasant, nice, and even successful woman based on her bio. Now, ultimately, I ended by ignoring her messages after a certain point and even blocked her number. Yes, we exchanged numbers and I talked a bit outside of the online dating app. I do feel bad and will never do such a thing to anyone ever again. She wasn’t a bad woman by any means, so she did not deserve this at all.
