+1 yThe last one that got away, I'd probably ask her to marry me! She's one of the few people I've ever known that actually cared a lot about me, and she lives in another country and I'd only just met her a few weeks before!! I was unsure about what was going on with me and this pain kept getting stronger and stronger over the previous few days and, I figured it best to go have it looked at. There's a fairly good chance that, had I not done so, it could've killed me (or so I thought) so, shortly before I asked mom to take me to the hospital to get it checked out, I told most of my online friends about it, most of whom were people I've known in person for years, if not my entire life, and suggested that I might even be dead from it by morning so, I said what I thought might've been my last farewell to them all. And then we went to the hospital! They chose to keep me over night to run tests first thing in the morning and we all concluded it was absolutely nothing to worry about. (I went to my chiropractor a day or so later and he fixed it up in a heartbeat!!)
When I got back home from the hospital the next evening, I was expecting to find a lot of messages of concern or at least wishing me good luck and hoping I was well... all I got were 3!!! One was just a casual friend saying they hoped everything was okay, the second was from a fairly close friend who showed her concern and hoped I was okay because she's dealt with a similar issue (but hers WAS what I thought this might be, and it nearly killed her! I only just met her online a few years before and met her in person 3 times.), the third was from this new friend that lives over in Bulgaria!! She was VERY concerned and even crying and pleading with me to be well and get in touch with her as soon as possible!!! Of course, I did and, from what she'd been saying to me that night, I figured she had really been feeling something for me! (Up until then, we were just casual friends, like some of the people I've met here, recently. She could hardly even speak any English.) So, I asked her, "Are you in love with me?" She said, "DA!!" (In English, that's, "YES!!") WOW!!! I've NEVER had that, before!!! Someone that I hardly even knew actually fell in love with me and I wasn't even trying!!!
The one before that, I might not even give her the time of day!!14 Reply
Asker+1 yWhat an amazing story! Thanks for sharing. What prevented you from asking her to marry you the first time? What makes you feel so confident that you would still want to marry her after all this time?
- +1 y
Thank you!
I'm almost sure I did ask, or we at least discussed the possibility. I think I said distance was a huge issue. I'm in America, she's in Bulgaria. Neither of us could afford her air fare and, as my airport is nearly an hour away from here and I don't drive, I'd have to find a way to get there to pick her up. She didn't want to come all this way and have to struggle to find a way to come to me. I don't blame her! I could no longer ask mom to drive me out to pick her up because, about a week after I got home from the hospital, she had a stroke! It eventually killed her.
Hope (how her name is pronounced in English) was married to a very abusive guy (his name is Valentine!!) and was planning to leave him, anyway. While we were talking, she told me she'd developed an abscessed tooth and he refused to let her go to the dentist so, she got a pin or paperclip and popped it herself. She'd been sleeping on the couch for a LONG time which was the reason she could get online and talk with me without him knowing it. Last I heard from, her, she'd finally left him and moved away but, she said that, even though she's still in love with me, maybe I should just get on without her and it was okay if I found someone else. Before long, she took down her FB page and I haven't heard from her since.
Alex, another FB friend of mine, a Brit, who's been living near her, told me he'd try to find her for me but, he's had no luck. As he's gay, I have worries about him stealing her away from, me. I've done a number of online searches for her but, no luck. Even asking other Bulgarians from her town, total strangers, if they'd ever seen her or knew her. No such luck! Her entire country is smaller than my state!!
So far, I've found no one else, as she suggested and I kinda doubt I ever will again. - +1 y
She loves roses and, although I have no way of sending her any real ones, I send her pictures of them for her birthday. As she has no e-mail account or FB, I can't even do that anymore. She's not very computer literate so, she has no idea how to open an e-mail account. Maybe she used Val's to open the FB account? I don't know.

I always called her my angel because she was the only one that cared if I lived or died and she called me her blue-eyed Prince.

Asker+1 yWhen she got a hold of you? What did she say? How did you get to know each other again?
- +1 y
The getting a hold of me was my wife of 24 years had just passed away. I got a messenger she sent a marine tribute song. I called her in Texas she said she was coming through Georgia on her way to N. C. could she take me to dinner. As far as getting to know each other again it was like we were never apart.
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI really like this question!
I would wake up and feel very excited about seeing him and spending the day with him. I would try to eat a good breakfast even though I think I would just want to be out the door! I would curl my hair and brush my teeth, put lipbalm and my favourite dress on.
We would meet in front of my building. I would come outside and wait, looking towards the corner every few seconds, trying not to fidget or smile too much. As soon as I see him I smile and run towards him for a hug. I would wrap my arms around his body, under his arms, and his would be around my neck, cupping my head, caressing my hair. We would walk around the park for a while and talk. Then we would sit on a bench in a lonely part of the park. As the conversation gets more flirty and our eye contact more intense, I would stand up and move closer to him, looking at his eyes shyly and asking "Can I sit on your lap?". We would look at each other closer than we ever got a chance to be, we would intertwine our fingers and then kiss.
After the park we would go for lunch... After lunch we would go to my apartment. Into my bedroom full of golden sunlight. Golden hour. We would start to kiss passionately as if we never intend to stop. It would soon lead to love making. After which he would lay down, my head on his chest. We don't even need to talk, we can just take in the moment. But we would get hungry quickly. Time to order a pizza. Why not watch a movie too. Then I would go to take a quick shower. When I'm done we would make love some more and go to sleep. I would wake up without him like I do every day...22 Reply
Asker+1 yI love your imagination. What about in real life? How would you prepare for and approach the event?
I actually have this situation. The one who got away asked me to spend the day with him.
Opinion Owner+1 yOhh okay. That's great! I'm so glad for you to have that opportunity! I thought you were talking about a dreamy one-time thing. Which is why I, for one, did all I ever wanted to do in one day, and two, assumed he wants all the things I do!
In reality I would take things much slower, to see where he stands and what his intentions are. I think I would be obvious with mine even though I would try keep them hidden. One of us has to be the brave one and take things further, if not him, I would initiate the kiss if we are both flirty. I still want my kiss to be in the park exactly how I described it. If prior to meeting, over texts, his tone seemed too serious instead of flirty, I would suggest going straight to lunch and wouldn't have the kiss in my mind. I would take a friendly approach, just chat but I would still be very happy. IRL I wouldn't have sex with him on this day. There will probably be more days for that, unlike the dream scenario that I had in mind, when writing my OP. 😊
+1 yI’d do everything to make myself look the best for him. It was my fault he got away in the first place, because of my insecurity. He said he liked me and I liked him too, but he liked my friend too and I didn’t really know who he liked more. So when he told me, I told him that I thought it was a dare. Of course, he got frustrated with me and insisted he wasn’t lying, but I was young and didn’t want to get hurt by a possible lie. So I continued believing it was a dare.
Sooo, if I was to meet him today, I would look my absolute best and apologize. I think I still have feelings for him, so I think I would try to have a good relationship with him as well and see where things go.
EXTRA INFO:
This was in fifth grade, so you probably wouldn’t take it too seriously.
We go to the same school now, but I haven’t seen him since I’ve been doing school online and I think he has too. Plus we’re in different academies.
I think he might be dating someone, but I haven’t really talked to him since fifth grade, so I wouldn’t know.
I dm’ed him once, but I ended up deleting the chat cuz I felt embarrassed and never checked to see if he replied or not.10 Reply

+1 yI think a cruise where they have hot tubs and all you can drink alcohol and performances and gift shops and land excursions.
10 Reply Lol that's the funny thing. I don't have that one anymore. There was my first one that got away when I was like 15. We met again when I was 18 and she saw how much I had grown as you obviously would. She saw me all dressed up for prom with my very hot girlfriend whom I was in love with.
When I saw her it was a weird moment, because I remember being so into her and her liking me but not enough to be with me. In that moment I could see her attraction for me and a loss of words when I spoke to her. I also didn't have those feelings for her come back. Then my girl walks in the room all decked out and I was ecstatic for my night. So in a way I just moved on. She was no longer the one that got away in my heart.
Second one that got away was a girl that it was just never good timing. When we met I was interested in someone else, but always found her attractive. We had instant chemistry. I was single again 8 months later. We saw eachother for a bit before I was really ready to date so I ended it. She gets a boyfriend. I'm ready to date again and she has someone so I respect that and see other people.
She's about to end things with her guy and starts flirting with me in the mean time but I wasn't going to fuck with her situation. A third guy does so she ends her relationship and gets with that guy lmao. She and I have a thing back and forth over like 2 years with just never good timing. She gets married and moves away. I'm requested to not contact her and I respect that.
6 years later she hits me up after her divorce. I have a girlfriend at the time. We start talking again. My thing ends a year later. She has a boyfriend now hahahhaha. I go out on some fuck boy shit for a few years. She ends her relationship of like 2 years and starts seeing a guy after him. One day she comes to town and calls me to come out.
We have an awesome time at a bar just catching up. She's got a man so again I won't fuck with that situation. I walk her back to her hotel after I'd actually canceled plans with another girl to see this one that got away. She sees me texting her and asks about it so I tell her the situation and she laughs.
Then she kisses me. Longstory short it was long long long past due and I'm very glad it happened. If we're single in the future I'd call her up. Jokingly call her my future ex wife because bad timing is the best way to label out story 😂10 Reply
+1 yI've never had one. However, I believe I am "the one who got away" for one of my exs. For context, this was back in high school. I thought our relationship was mediocre at best but I still persisted because I was naïve enough to believe it would get better.
About a month before graduation, she approaches me in the cafeteria and tells me she found someone else and wanted to be with them. I was cool with it because I still had finals to worry about and I could devote all my time to it now. I think she may have been a little bit surprised by my reaction but its always been my rule of thumb that if you're not happy being with me, just say so. No hard feelings at all. I did feel a sense of relief because she basically did what I thought I'd might have to somewhat later.
Anyway, fast forward to March 2009, about 10 months after the break up. I am getting mentally prepared for getting shipped off to basic training in about 3 weeks. There was a knock on the door and to my surprise, it was her. She said she was foolish for leaving me. In a "heat of the moment"', we ended up kissing (probably the last sincere one I ever got) and we were for about 10 minutes, back together. My dad helped me see I was making a mistake and I ended up calling her back to tell her that I just couldn't go through with this. I was off to basic training and had my life to think about and that I couldn't just abandon the committment I already made to the US Government. So I told her I was sorry but the answer was no. I said goodbye and I thought that was the end of it.
The last time I would hear from her was in about 2015 or so. I added her on facebook and messaged her. She said she still loved me and asked if I'd be willing to move to California to be with her. I had already moved to Alaska by this time and told her no, that I would not move and that I had no intention of getting back with any of my exs. I tried to bring her down gently and explained we are both just better off going our own ways and just forgetting about one another.
Haven't heard from her since. I hope she found someone to make her happy. She wasn't a bad person by any means, just someone who I never felt I had a connection with.00 ReplyLast day of class, she was sitting as the students filed out saying goodbyes. She kept sitting, I kept sitting, I had no idea what to do, I had been going through some hard time mentally. We both kept sitting, until she picked up her handbag and went out. I was very poor back then.
If I had another chance, Id get myself a two wheeler, go to her despite guys watching, tell her Hi, ask her if she would like to go for a burger.
Then I had no money, no vehicle, no job. Today I have it all, but not her.12 Reply
Asker+1 yMaybe you should find her….
I’d say the girl I kind of liked in High School but I doubt she’d even remember me since we haven’t talked since High School and I’m not even sure she has a FB account. If by chance she did get in contact with me and she was still attractive, I’d see if she wanted to do anything with me.

Asker+1 yI like you honesty that you would see if she is still attractive. Can you give more details? Like she isn’t fat?
+1 yI would put my entire being and soul in convincing her to take me back. Sadly she died a few years ago. I was 19, she was 43, She wanted to move to California and I stayed behind in Florida. I was very very very stupid! Best relationship I ever had! She was a stern Mistress, guiding mentor and a loving Mommy all rolled into one. In short she was a Goddess.
