Were you ever someone’s "catch” they let get away?
Thinking back over the years for some of us that can be dangerous, who “catch” should you have been but when you were interested they were not committed or not interested, but now that you are not on the market anymore they want to land their hooks into you? Do you still feel like you missed out or do you think it was the way it was meant to be because you have a better mate or one that matches you greatly?

I have no idea! It’s so hard to tell what other people are thinking.
I’ve definitely dated people and I had my shit together way more than they did. In a way, they could have benefit from having a better life in general if I’d have stuck around. I just mean stuff like holding a job, paying the bills, not making utterly stupid decisions not in their self-interest, not getting arrested, etc… Stuff like that. I think I would have influenced them to have some responsibility by example.
The guy who lived next door while we were both growing up was recently visiting home. He stopped over to chat with my mother, who let him know that I am engaged and moving to England. He told her, “I guess I missed my chance. I should have married her.”
While we were never a couple,we were good friends. It was sad to hear, really. At the time, he had just been released from jail on a drug charge, and has since gone back. Maybe he thought that if we had gotten together, his life might have turned out differently.
After I married, I had 3 ex-girlfriends ask me if I was still married, and if I would be considered in giving them another shot. Most unusual, since when we first went out, none of them treated me as if they cared a whit.
Cause girls are stupid and can’t make up their fucking minds.
We were really good friends and we liked each other. Then he changed his mind. I still liked him, but worked to get over him. When I finally did he decided he wanted to give things between us a shot. I told him he was too late. Things got awkward and we hardly talked. Now we are becoming good friends again and I afraid I may be starting to like him again. This is just a never ending cycle between me and him.
Story of my life… I don’t feel sorry though. It was their fault
I’ve been told by each of my exes except two that I’m the best thing that ever happened to them. I forgive one because he was and still is my best friend and he doesn’t need to miss me and the other guy I thought would be my all time greatest partner turned out to be a very strange stranger indeed and I’ve pondered if he was ever sincere to begin with.
There are no regrets on my end in the way of wanting to get back with any of my exes. Each relationship was it’s own experience and I learned so many things the hard way which in retrospect is how I think some people just have to do it.
