Have you ever regretted rejecting a good person?

[Anonymous]

This is for men and women. Have you ever dated someone who was great but you just didn’t like them “enough”? Did you regret ending things later one? And if so, what did you do about it?

I never did because I don't think in terms of good or bad in this way. I think in terms of compatibility.

So there was an ex I once had where even my guy friends were saying things like, "Dude, why did you break up with her? She was so amazing!" to which I replied, "Why don't you date her then?"

She and I were incompatible. I would have had to settle a great deal if I stayed with her given how incompatible we were. The idea that she's "good" in some absolute sense because she's very pretty and one of those traditional obedient housewife types isn't the way I think about these things. I'm not compatible with those.

No, never. I have always had good reasons for rejecting people.
