Have you ever thought that you missed out on dating or being with someone?

[Justneedtokno]

I think for me that may have happened because I was in my own head. I definitely am one person that if you give me gifts, I want to be able to match that energy. I definitely want to bring something to the table. Be stable.

now the person’s with someone else they still gives me gifts, but I can’t do the same thing.

[DaveJord]

You know, this is a tough question. Sure I look back feel this way. Yes I do, because you think sure you could of did things differently or better and that's always true no matter what the circumstances.

But then I realize that its a mind trap... becsuse at the time, given all the circumstances there's no way of knowing if it would of changed a damn thing. Truth is that even though I regret how it ended... why could we not of worked through the issues. Why did she have do what she did, maybe it was her that missed out?

I mean if she had been better or done better maybe it never would of gotten to that piont. So its just best not to do this type of thing to yourself. If it was meant to be then you would of been able to work through the issue together. But you didn't, and that is not all your fault either.

[FilmGuy93]

I kinda feel that way with this girl I've been talking to... The in-person vibe is fantastic, but she just refused to put effort into long distance communication. She said that she doesn't want things to feel forced, and thinks it would be healthier for both of us to not try to keep our connection alive; just meet in person. Unfortunately, we would have to be long distance for now, which I don't feel like needs to be a problem at all, but for whatever reason she isn't game. She has asked me to let her know if I ever move to her city.

I guess I just don't understand why dating needs to be this complicated. I feel like we live in a time when you can just... like... decide to be with someone.

[Justneedtokno]

I know I know people say that long-distance relationships are good but it’s definitely hard in a strain. It definitely takes a lot of effort on both ends. I hope it works out

[FilmGuy93]

Long distance is hard, but I don't feel like that means we can't keep the connection alive. Relationships take a lot of different forms. Iit's not like we need to lean hardcore into some monogamous, exclusive entanglement right away.

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah, keeping up with communication is good but still it’s a lot

[petitedollbabee]

Yeah but as time went on I came to realise that it wouldn’t have worked out with them anyway. They lived on drama and wouldn’t have been able to make me a priority. I’m glad I dodged that bullet and found someone better who treats me great.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

If you think that stay single and when you dont want any other guys attention then proceed with a relationship if he wants one as well.

[Justneedtokno]

I don’t think it that easy

[Justneedtokno]

Also, one year you’re giving somebody handcuffs the next year you’re with somebody else or months it just seems suspicious to me. You never want to be in the beginning, so why would you even do all those and still give me gift and my grandma

[Justneedtokno]

I understand and it’s perfectly fine I just don’t like how I was involved in this situation if you were already with somebody else or like somebody else

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Then break up with whoever your with it's only fair. You can't stay with someone when you want someone else it's not fair to them! Unless it's an open relationship then that's different.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

It be the same as you being with a guy and he only wants to be with you until he can find someone better.. not fair why I mentioned above to stay single until your feelings are set in one direction then you run the risk of not defining things and both of you being on a different page for example one thinking it's a relationship the other thinking it's a one night stand.

[BUTIMRIGHTTHO]

I haven't seen Teal Swan in years.

[art84]

There was a girl I had a crush on her but she was already seeing someone else and heavily involved with the guy. Turns out she told me that she was wished she could date me but was already seeing someone. I think the thing that makes this interesting is that I saw her with her husband and baby. She waved at me and had a look of sadness cause I was alone sitting by myself at a table. We were at a church fellowship where my old church had joined with another church to form one mega church. I always think of what could have been if things were different like me being older since she liked older men and her liking me and wanting to be more than friends. My mom has always told me that she wished I ended up with this girl as she liked the girl as she was a church quiet girl and simple looking.

Yeah there times when I wish I had taken more chances asking out girls that had crushes on me. Who knows if the girl would have said yes or no.

[Weapon77]

Often. I never told my bestfriend how I felt about her and had to watch her date another guy for years during high school. He turned out to be abusive on top of that. She was so messed up afterward that I never had a chance with her again, and I hate that I missed out on my chamce with her in Junior High. I also have been single for 7 years, so I feel like I've out on a ton of dating. It sucks

[NathanDavis]

nope... considering that about 80% of the time for the last 16 years of my life, I actually was in a relationship with ex-girlfriends I do not feel like I've missed things out, we made it count, every single day...

[Lexina]

Me right
There's this guy who asked if I wanted to be with him back in high School, we left for college and became a but distant but we never cut ties, just this year, I decided to disappear for a while.
I was online today saw his post and asked: he replies with that is my best friend, she was there for me when you ghosted me😢

[melanieeeB]

Nope but I understand that with the being more stable in life before part tho

[Valso]

Yes, my first male crush back in high school. I never got the courage to tell him I liked him and that he was occupying the most of my dreams at night.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Yes I have, either cause I wasn't available at the time, either was in a relationship or simply not emotionally available.

or

I was way too shy and nervous to talk to guys.

[exitseven]

A girl that I knew made it clear that she wanted to date me. She was friends with someone who dumped me and hurt me pretty bad. I took it out on this other girl and now I think we might have been good together.

[AsaKyo]

Not really, because I didn't even wanna date anyone when I was in high school

I wanted to wait until I was older, but ended up getting involved with some jackass due to horrible friends I had at the time

[Dargil]

Yes, but it was my choice for rational reasons. I thought and still do that we did not have a good fit. I fantasized she was The One, but she wasn't and still isn't.

[Katebfun]

No, because whoever is meant to be in your life will be or not. Can't force something like that either. Everyone's comes and goes.

[DrBanana]

I have a few time with neat women in my life but at the same time my core morals stoped me from asking them so it’s my own fault and I can live with that.

[Jamie05rhs]

I mean, yeah. But that's life. You just move on and move forward.

[Sixgunsound]

I don’t see the point of wasting time wishing or wondering.

[Kaneki05]

I missing many people all the time so it would be abnormal if I wasn't.

[TroyDT2]

Never. If she's single and I'm interested I ask. If she's taken or says, "No." then it is not meant to be.

[AdithyaR]

I never have felt like I missed out because I never believed I'd have a chance in the first place. So I don't think about hypotheticals.

[legalboxers]

every single day... and I thank my parents for that 200% especially my father

[Paul09]

Yes. I had 2 shortish relationships when I was 18. So I never really experienced much. I always wanted to connect with someone mentally and physically. I need a female in my life.

[msc545]

I've wrecked two really promising relationships. One through jealousy, and one though neglect.

[Oluwanimee]

Hey.. I how are you doing …. I want to text you but couldn’t…can you pls send an hi first so I can have access

[Justneedtokno]

What are you talking about

[Oluwanimee]

I wanted to dm you

[Justneedtokno]

Ok I think you can what would you like to discuss

[Luopio27]

Never missed out, just never reached up to the standards of others I liked.

[moonpie89]

Can't relate. I'll shoot my shot if I want him

[Anonymous]

Is it possible you may not completely understand what "gifts" men really want? Not saying that's the case, just asking.

[Twalli]

Well I was in a coma when I wanted to ask her out. Another guy did.

[Rxjjfxj]

Yes I do. But always feel it’s for the best. My time will come.

[Alex8736]
