Didn’t want to to ruin one of the few close female friendships I had.
She was a pretty lady in high school. The type that is so religious, innocent and polite that she didn’t even know what masturbation meant. And she would get shy when sex ed was in biology class.
Back then I was looking for adventures so she wasn’t my type. Do I regret it, partially yes. But now she’s in the USA so it’s a lost cause honestly.
I had no idea she would. Lack of confidence. Situational issues.
I thought I’d prefer the feeling of never knowing to the pain of rejection from the only person I liked
I used to be really shy and I regretted a bunch of missed opportunities.
Now I’m (mostly) no longer shy and have realized the fear of rejection is 10x worse than any rejection I’ve ever gotten.
Turns out I (56) at the time was 24 years het senior. Which was a terrible shame because we hit it off in every way that matters except that she was young enough to still want children, and I definitely did not.
She definitely would have cheated on her bf with me but I’ve come to learn that she’s immature and insecure. Terrible combo, so I friendzoned her
She’s my boss. Recently there have been red flags that have popped up that added to another reason not to pursue her if she were no longer my boss.
I met her almost 28 years ago.
She had a pointed bluntness I really appreciated and the ability to tell it like it is. Unashamedly shared her opinion when asked. Otherwise, she kept it to herself.
I really admired that she never made a point of letting you know her opinion, but would tell you if asked. And if you made a good point back, she was capable of changing her mind.
Unfortunately I had a gf at the time, and she also had a so.
So we were just friends. Really good friends, but just friends
I had heard through several mutuals that she was interested, but this was after I had moved back to my home town, so too late to do anything, though we kept in touch. Always regretted not making a move, but as we’re both in relationships, it wasn’t going to happen.
One day, years later, I happened to be flying over her state for a job, and texted her, “hey, I’m on top of you right now”
Her response? “I wish”
That’s when we discovered we both liked each other.
1 kid and years of marriage later and here we are
Didn’t act on it because I was a coward. Things worked out because I found someone else that’s perfect for me and we’re engaged now. I don’t regret not acting on it … not exactly. I hate my reason for not acting on it, I regret that. There were other reasons, but they weren’t what stopped me.
She was somehow both kind and blunt. It was a great pairing – she wasn’t mean but she would tell me how she saw it when she saw it. I loved that communication and the lack of any malice. But we were relatively close friends through a club in college and I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. And by the time I even really considered going against that, she found a BF, and they’re happy. There’s been a couple others – but in general I’m just too shy and I don’t succeed in striking up good convos with others most of the time
She’s my co-worker. I don’t dip my pen in the company ink.
Nothing good ever comes of it. No regret.
Mainly her character. As in, she motivated me to become the best that I could be, simply by being herself.
Yes, while it was a rare experience, I’ve regretted it every time.
We connected over 9/11 jokes, pets, Batman and McChickens. She was a solid friend and I decided to keep it that way. I don’t regret my choice, but after she got a boyfriend and that dude decided he didn’t like me and wanted bestie to block my ass, I not only went into a fairly gnarly bout of depression and grief, but I also second-guessed my choice to not pursue anything with the woman in question. She rocked, but ultimately she traded me for a dude who gets jealous and controlling really easily.
I then proceeded to get into a flirtatious affair with two women at the same time. I lost both potential relationships because of both that depression and because I was operating from the framework of fear – which in itself drives you to be a little stir-crazy and controlling.
