The ones who got away?

steddyeddy

Does anyone ever think about the girls/boys you could have got with/slept/ or had a relationship with with ect? Not a serious one for me but there was serious sexual tension between me and another PhD. I couldn't do anything really because it would have messed up the work relationship.

Another one was when I was living in Tanzania for a few months and this beautiful blonde volunteer stayed in the hostel for a while. I could have banged her (I'm an aul romantic) but instead of going on a date I went off to look at monkeys

Is that what they call it now?

Yes I believe that's the term for looking at primates.

That sounds like it ended on good terms XD

I don't think I have any "ones who got away".

Just "ones I shouldn't have gone near in the first place" and "ones who are too good for me and know it".

Nah, I usually just fap to my imagination of fuking them and then move onto the next person, maybe a little sneaky cry in between those stages though.

They were only too good for you because you thought it. Don't put them on a pedestal.

The whole relationship was on his terms, so it ended on my terms.

But to answer your original question - Not Yet Does anyone get away when you have a direction?

Glad you asked mate. It's in biological physics we're trying to elucidate the electron relay system of a number of enzymes.

Exact same thing happened to me OP. Not in somewhere as exotic as Tanzania though.

No, I was deep in the amazon rainforest somewhere on the Colombia Peru border.

Oh, and it wasn't monkeys i went looking at. I think on that particular day, I went off in search the endangered spectacled bear. Also known as the Andean short faced bear.

Look up neural plasticity. You can literally think your way out of thinking patterns. I may be worth trying. Inferior is a relative term not absolute.

I've let a good few get away, never to be seen again. Why? Because I'm a feckin' eegit, who wasn't confident to approach them, get chatting to them, and ask them out! Maybe the negative side to me reckoned I'd be turned down.

NachoBusiness

Yeah, one girl for sure. I think about her a lot tbh. I'm getting on a bit now but I can remember back just after we did the leaving (1991) I started going out with her. I also got my first car around then and we used to go for spins down the beach, listen to Radiohead, Johnny Cash and stuff like that. We used to nick her folks alcohol all the time. Her gaff was huge and some nights we would go up on the roof. I can remember us talking about how we'd always be together. On her birthday once we even got the same tattoos. I got mine removed a few years later though. Wonder what she's up to these days.

Probably riding some other lad.

I let this girl who was mad about me get away years ago. I lacked the balls to ask her out and wanted to be sure that she liked me :rolleyes:. Real man I was ha ha. Many years of toughing up knocked that sh1t out of me.

I'm well into CBT* at this stage, trust me when I say that I'm not one to fall for quackery or believe in unscientific absolutes. However, I'm still unconvinced of my potential to break free of my self-imposed inferiority complex.

*cognitive behavioral therapy, not the dirtier BDSM/LGBT acronym!

Well look up the science. The brain can rewrite itself.

He's right, we are a product of the projections of our own thoughts.

Tell me about it..

I have always hated myself and when I read about about body dysmorphic disorder, was sure I had it but the doctor just said 'Nah, man, you kinda do look as bad as you think you do'.

Dammit.

One got away but now I am in her nest and I'm going in deep and will plunge by john thomas into her hinterlands in a cathartic release. It will be unknown to her parents. But I will be Paraded around town like Brian Boru.

Yes was only looking at new pictures he put up on fb yesterday thinking dam he is still looking good and yes I still would

PizzamanIRL

I had a cramp in my leg OK! It's not my fault she got away!

Littlekittylou

To be honest it's not that anyone got away from me. It's just they didn't want what i had to offer it's just not for them. I can't complain.

Mister Vain

Yes there have been a few occasions where I thought there was a mutual interest but it never went anywhere. There was this girl I used to work with who seemed keen. We had been chatting for a few days. One of her friends said she was single. So I went in one day with the intention of asking her out but she was absent that day. I said I'd wait til another time but she never came back and I never heard from her again.

Kidnapped most likely. You have to be quicker next time.

Back in the day I worked with a girl who I fancied like mad but was too shy to do anything about it. We got on great and had a few "friend dates" but that was it.
Eventually though I finally got the courage to ask her out properly.. only to find out she'd started dating a guy a week earlier... who she later married!

Still, it did teach me to not make that mistake again and it's worked out alright since then!

smurgen

A girl from cavan I was friendly with on j1.was so good looking I just didn't even register any of her advances.didn't think it was possible. Think Jennifer Conneley with a bigger rack.last night on the j1 I was twisted and scored with some randomer and your one seen it and burst out crying and left.she was sound out and all 😯

Sinister Kid

I let one get away years ago that I still think about. We had a couple of friends in common & would see each other on occasion, chatted & flirted online for ages. We eventually hooked up & had serious chemistry bit things got a but weird then and that was it... Looking back now I can see that it was a lot to do with being young & not so confident.



Don't get me started on the ones that I should have let get away.

Yes she got away. I still see photos of her when she is tagged on Facebook.

Lorna.
Lorna was a beautiful girl. Stunning looking, smart, great personality and a smile that could make your heart jitter. She was always the life and soul of any group of people, but not in a in your face type of way, it was just her commanding presence. I must have fancied Lorna for months. I never knew what to say to her or how to act around her but I looked forward to seeing her at every possible chance I could get. My life revolved around Lorna.

I remember one afternoon we ended back in my house. My parents were abroad on holidays so no one was there to interrupt us. I had planned what I was going to do and say for days before. Today was the day I was going to tell her just how I felt.

Settling down to some ice cream we chatted away on the couch. Our chat covered everything. Lorna was so easy to talk to. The conversation eventually landed on boyfriend/girlfriends. I was single and so was she. I decided that this was the moment I was telling her how I felt.

I was standing over by the door I remember and I just began blurting it straight out. I'll never forget the look in her face as I locked the door and told her she'd always be mine as I advanced towards her, rope in hand.
I'd guess that the ash tray smarted as it crashed into the side of her head. Her panic stricken face made her look all the cuter. She scratched and kicked as I tried cover her face with the cloth.

One stray kick to my groin and I was down, unable to prevent her escaping through the window. I quickly rose to my feet but it was too late. She was already halfway down the street.

All I could do was stand there and watch the only one that got away.

Did you just copy the lyrics of Katie Perry the one that got away? haha
