It's not the one that got away -- there are lots of those. It's about the one I let go. She was a good friend's ex-girlfriend and friend of a woman I dated. She was a few years younger than me, pretty with a hot, tight body. Her washing machine quit and, being handy, I repaired it, her dryer and a few other things. She was grateful and sat on the washer with her 'fuck me' eyes. We both knew what was about to happen. I hesitated and saw her look of disappointment. This was was a couple years after the breakup of a 20-year marriage and fell in love with every woman I met. I knew she was high maintenance and I just wasn't rich enough to support myself and child support for two kids, so I said good night. I can still see that welcoming look in her eyes.
Good for you though. Fucking a good friend's ex, or your ex's friend is generally bad form. I don't think I'd ever get involved with a good friend's ex unless I had their blessing
This one made me stop and think. I had a similar infatuation with someone for years, we dont see each other that often anymore but when we do I still feel a weird jolt which always catches me off guard considering we're both with other people. I kinda feel like it would have ended the same with us if we had ever dated, I can pinpoint specifically why he would be a horrible match for me actually but there's some weird chemistry there nevertheless, kinda wish we had hooked up at some point just so I would know and wouldnt feel that jolt everytime I see him because it's annoying
I'm sure we've all had THE one get away more than once. and we kick ourselves every time we think of them
I've heard other women describe similar stories. It reminds me of the thing about how whatever a chick sees first is imprinted on it as parent. Kind of meaningless but a romantic mind can assign it depth. Then when it randomly happens and it's the right guy, that works out well and creates wonderful relationships. But it is essentially meaningless, I think. A mixture of pheromones, setting, time of life, etc.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. The one other thing is timing. The gif is stupid because it just leaves you hanging. Oh well.
I don't really ascribe to this notion of One that Got Away anymore. It seems like every time I was presumptous about what could be with a lady, it never ended well and didn't really make me yearn for her. But to contribute someting, one instance in high school which I've yet to experience anything like since was the (close as could be) objectively hottest girl in the school messaged me on Instant Messenger out of nowhere, but we never even went out on a date or anything.
Aww, hey, we gotta try to get you laid. Do you want a "Let's try to get Tyrsonwood laid" thread? Maybe we can crowdsource an answer
One time, a girl I was very much attracted to was sending me secret coded messages about licking me and touching me. But she was my friend's girlfriend, so I said I couldn't do that to him. I guess I did the right thing, but if she had seen that I was actually very different from my sweet, innocent persona, maybe things would be different for me. Now I'm an old man and it's too late. BLARGH!
She sounds like one that you'd want to get away. Beyond just leading you into backstabbing a friend, it's not like she was not going to play games with you too. Sometimes it's better to take a pass on some ass
