My first serious girlfriend when I was 17. Relationship ended when I was 18. Many things out of my control went wrong and gave her the wrong impression about me. The biggest one was her stepfather.

Basically, I was relentlessly bullied a lot in school and was forced to defend myself. However, my ex witnessed one of these fights and what I did to the others (5 kids armed with bats, chains and sticks) was pretty brutal. The stepdad used this as a chance to convince her I was nothing but a thug who loved fighting and was pretending to be good for her. He also reasoned that my grades were bad because I did not care about my future. Truth was I was working a job to help my mom. This caused her to reason that maybe I did something to deserve being attacked in some of the fights when I was just a victim of bullying.

I loved her so much and occasionally thoughts of her run through my mind. I tried 3 times over the years to explain things but never got a reply.

Yeah.. there was this girl from Australia. She always made me feel special, and very loved. I ended up pushing her away out of fear. I still think about her to this day.

She was very sweet and caring, but the thing is, I was still recovering from a deep heartbreak at the time. I was afraid to trust again.

We've crossed paths once or twice but not long enough to say or do anything other than say a quick hi or hello.

It's a shame really because neither of us are at fault for us not working, I found out years later a mutual friend was jealous of the idea of us and blocked my number in his phone and his number in mine (it was the days before locks on phones) so we both were under the impression that the other had blocked us and we're never able to make contact again.

WoW that sounds like some dead a$$ revenggggge!
This is why I always say to tell people straight up to their face. No phone business.

And that’s the hardest thing to do. Confess to their face while they look at you with their eyes.

Did he ever find out. Did you let him know when you found out?

Unfortunately I met my ex about six months later whom I went on to spend nine years with and since splitting I have done a curious Google search on "the one that got away" and he is in a long term relationship so I'm staying well clear as I refuse to be that girl that steps on another woman's toes.

Yep. It was a super painful experience, I never met anyone that I could vibe with as well as him. I had to walk away bc he had a lot of commitment with his ex (who is also his business partner) and I think he was afraid of what other people would think if we were to end up together.

Deing. The guy I liked was a BRAD PITT baby dad. I knew starting anything with him would be an issue because of it. And he just had a minimum wage job too. 🥺
But I really really liked him.

Yeah the baggage they’re carrying is just not worth it… would you still give it a go if he had a better paying job tho?

[Asker]

Maybe. But him having to other whole other kids is still a bit of a turn off. He also has a history of cheating over and over with almost all his exes

[Opinion Owner]

Yikes that’s the reddest of red flags. I think you actually dodged a bullet there.

[Asker]

Same. A gorgeous, manly, alpha, bullet

There was a girl I knew in high school who I never stood a chance with that I still to this day contend that we would have made an amazing couple.

She insisted that we didn't have anything in common, (which just wasn't true from a factual standpoint), and I didn't realize that that really just meant that she didn't find me attractive.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the hint and destroyed our friendship. It's a shame, because I really do think we would have made a great couple.

Mine was too soon after a toxic relationship and had my guard up but when my head cleared she was in a relationship which she ended up having a beautiful little girl which I was happy that she was happy but unfortunately just after her daughters 1st birthday she was killed in a car crash which I was devastated to hear 😢

[Th3ft]

Yeah I think I did. But I’m trying to release those thoughts because it’s not healthy to hang on to that old flame.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yeah it happens, happened to me and I'm not even that old lol
