Men, have you ever regretted rejecting a girl, or letting her get away?

the girl you liked but werent sure or something was holding you back, and she felt rejected and disappeared from your life, do you ever look back and wish you had asked her out? or do you look back and feel bad you were rude and mean to her?

details: I've definitely liked a guy who was mean to me and flat out rude and cocky and my esteem was crushed but I continued to love him, I just stopped talking to him and disappeared from his life. sometimes I wonder if he ever feels bad.

I met my fiance when I was 12, she was 11. We were best friends. After fours years, she finally tells me she has feelings for me and I rejected her because I didn't know exactly what to say. I had feelings for her also, but I was too scared to tell her. Of course, I soon regretted it. Just my luck, she got depressed and convinced her parents to let her move with her grandmother. I tried looking for her through her friends and family, but they all refused to give me any kind of information. After six years of no contact, I see her by coincidence, out of all places, Wal-mart. I wouldn't have recognized her if it wasn;t for her mother who was walking beside her. We've been together ever since. She said it was destiny that brought us together. haha. In fact, we just got engaged about a month ago :)

I've felt terrible for hurting her feelings, for sure. They aren't bad girls, and under different circumstances I would have probably enjoyed a relationship with some of them. They either scared me off or I didn't like them.

And sometimes I feel like when a girl swats down my advances and leaves me crying in a dumpster, it's God's way of opening the sky, pointing his finger down at me and yelling "How does it feel?!"

Yes, I regret it & feel bad. Sometimes a person says things they don't mean because they were hurt or angry. I've always wanted to contact her just to apologize & let her know I really didn't mean to act like a jerk but I don't think I ever will cause it's just been too long & feel weird doing that out of the blue.

if you really like her you should! life is too short to be scared

[misar71]

I'm not scared, I just don't think she really gives a damn so why bother. Plus it's been a year or so I think I'm going to forget about it

youd be surprised, you sound like the guy I love and I have the same problem we haven't talked in a year but my feelings for him hasn't changed its his call to contact me because he was mean to me and I think the same goes for you don't live your life with this regret

Yes, but I think that my feelings of regret just stem from desperation. So in reality, probably not.
