The one that got away
Everyone has one. Do you still think of them after all this time, or have you blocked them from your mind with Tequila and nubile hotties?

oh yes...
the person in question got away, and I watched her get married and have a child. I was even at her wedding. There's still chemistry there, at the reception she insisted on having the first dance with me, and there's occasional flirting. Nothing'll ever happen there now of course. *Puts on sad face and resolves to drink his way through the afternoon shift*

it happens. It's a relevant response to a good question.

It's all still a bit too raw and recent for me.
But you say Tequila and nubile hotties work, eh!

This
For a question of the week. Suitably mawkish and sentimental with a huge chance for unsavoury anecdotes. Ticks all the boxes. Oh and yes, but it was long ago, in a faraway country and besides, etc.

a complicated one
it's not so much that anything ever happened, but you know when the polite kiss is slightly more than that, and hugs go on for just too long... chemistry is a strange thing.

I've been with my partner for a long while and the other party is recently married, both of them are good friends. Nothing will ever happen, at one point it might have I guess, despite us having completely incompatible lives, but doesn't stop one wondering what might have been...

ughhh grim times
spent the year on the bottle, cried, eventually realised that he really was just as much of a loser as any other male I find attractive
for as much time as I used to pine over him I never ever think of him now

It can be strange
How even after 'the one got away' there is still an attraction between you. I mean you can meet up in a club 4 years after and are perhaps in seperate relationships. But you still have that strange attraction.

We're still friends. She's living with a bloke in the south west of England. I'm happy with my gf. But I still wonder sometimes...

In retrospect, I should have tailored my responces here.
You don't really have much to be gutted about to be honest.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 13:29, Reply)

Sometimes think of her
Never mind, still, she made it through most of my 'fit' mates (using me to get to them), and when they ran out, she fucked off.

Never mind, I'll find someone else sometime.

Indeedy,
but I was forced to remove her number by a subsequent filly. Now, 300 miles apart and with no contact information, how the devil would I ever get in touch with her? I tried Googling with no joy.

But is that scarily close to stalking?
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 13:18, Reply)

I'm going to be honest, it is a bit creepy.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 13:22, Reply)

Seems reasonable on this side of the fence.
But always good to see it through someone else's eyes.


Having said that, I only Googled her name and gave up because the name was too common and had millions of results.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Mon 22 Jun 2009, 13:25, Reply)

I had an old ex-boyfriend find me on Facebook once.
It was nice to hear from him again and I didn't think it was creepy but then again he just wanted to see how I was and not to get back together.

If you count fucking an excellent relationship up then yes there was one that got away.

How do I make sure he does not get bored with me? Seriously? I've liked him forEVER and he finally asked me out and we had an amazing time. However, I've had good dates before and gone off the bloke the next day. I've had great dates and the bloke's gone off me the next day. How do I make sure that does not happen with this one? I can't be arsed going through all this again. I want him to stick to me like cooked spaghetti to a kitchen wall.

Cook him steak (or nut roast)
And give him a blowjob. Apparently. My mate swears that's what keeps him interested.
