It's been a moody Sunday here. I've been dwelling on the people who I never got a chance to date who I clicked with, or those that I dated but the relationship ended on good terms.
Just wondering if any singles out there want to get someone off their chest; couples are welcome too if you're brave.
I'll start.
To the Spanish girl I dated at University - you were incredible, and those two years we had together were the best two years I've had in a relationship. I loved our summer and holiday flings after that, when we would visit one another or holiday together and rekindle things, going as far as for you to move to the UK for another 8 months several years later, and for our dating to continue.
It pained me when we both found out about a member of each of our families being diagnosed with cancer, and the consequent split as we parted to be closer to our loved ones.
I believed deep down we would end up together, however in our time away from one another, you found someone to date, who you now live with and seem to be making moves to get engaged to.
I am happy for you, but truthfully, I am envious of the man who beat me to proposing.
Well feel free to join me in miserably sipping tea. Anyone?  |

To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before...

I strongly believe that if you are meant to be with someone you will be. If you aren't together, it either wasn't meant or one partner wasn't as invested as the other. We tend to view the past through rose tinted spectacles when we'd be better looking at what we have in the here and now.
You might guess that I don't have "one that got away"  |

This is an anthem for the girl that got away
This is an anthem for the war of yesterday
This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth
This is an anthem for the risk of loving you

I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
I love you in the songs I write and sing
Love you because you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS cheques that you bring
Cheap, never cheap
I'll sing you songs till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs, I'll creep
And write it all down
Down, down, down...
Oh Shirley, oh Deborah, oh Julie, oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you, I forget your name (I forget your name)...
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name)
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name)
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry
There, that’ll do!  |

My husband was almost the one that got a way - he dumped me five months into the relationship because I was moody on my period and took out my mood on him and was a bitch (we had both never argued in a relationship before so instead of trying to fix it it just ended). But I wrote a cringy and depressing post on tumblr about how much I love him, and he read it and asked me out again  |

You have to put some effort in though. It's no good sitting back and waiting for fate to bring the one back or they definitely will get away. |

Sitting looking back on previous thread about first memories.
So, if I got out of the car, went into the party. Talked to Sharon G all these years ago, would I be here now? You were the first that understood me, and looked past the awkward shy, insecure and retarded numtee i was then.

Aww I love this thread. 
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

I thought I'd met the one that was going to be my "one that got away", but I cast a spell on him using toenail clippings and bum fluff, and here we are

My one is this sexy young lady I used to work with. I was still a bit obsessed with my ex at the time and never knew or noticed the signs that this girl liked me. I thought she was really nice and we were a bit flirty. I only found out a couple of years later when my work colleagues told me, why couldn't they have told me at the time! Was a good 20 years ago now and I still think of her now and then. |

This happened to me today, i was watching a bbc iplayer drama and it just triggered all the thoughts, feelings and the related subsequent fall out and stuff came flowing back that I had surpresed. Stuff that i do not feel comfortable speaking on the fab forum.
I'm lucky enough I am still contact and best friends with all of my exes, I'm filled with glee about their engagements etc. But i can't explain it erm its not envy it's a sense nostalgia i suppose and longing I suppose.
Research came out last week suggesting that it takes men longer to recover from a breakup. Up to year in some cases. |

I definitely agree with that. Men can hide it at first and get things out of their system quickly but they are just band aids and the pain lingers on. |

‘If it’s meant to be it will be’ is a nice idea but I don’t buy it for a moment. Successful relationships take a lot of work and compromise - imo ifs a cop out to sit back and say ahh well it wasn’t meant to be. I’ve totally been guilty in the past of not working hard enough and let someone amazing go because I was too stubborn - definitely one that got away and it wasn’t inevitable. Lessons learned :’) |

The Russel Kane comedy sketch for me sums it quite well.

You don't need to hop on a plane an email would do or a phone call.
She's not the one that got away, she's the one you let slip through your fingers.

Yep. If it's meant to be means if you help make it happen in my book. |

True, though is it not a tad house wreckerish to turn up in someone's love life and effectively say "I know you seem happy and all, but remember me? I think we suit one another better " |

I’ve totally been guilty in the past of not working hard enough and let someone amazing go because I was too stubborn - definitely one that got away and it wasn’t inevitable. Lessons learned :’)
Yep. If it's meant to be means if you help make it happen in my book."
I agree. Though sometimes life gets in the way and for a period of time it's a mountain you cannot summit. |

"It's been a moody Sunday here. I've been dwelling on the people who I never got a chance to date who I clicked with, or those that I dated but the relationship ended on good terms.
Just wondering if any singles out there want to get someone off their chest; couples are welcome too if you're brave.
I'll start.
To the Spanish girl I dated at University - you were incredible, and those two years we had together were the best two years I've had in a relationship. I loved our summer and holiday flings after that, when we would visit one another or holiday together and rekindle things, going as far as for you to move to the UK for another 8 months several years later, and for our dating to continue.
It pained me when we both found out about a member of each of our families being diagnosed with cancer, and the consequent split as we parted to be closer to our loved ones.
I believed deep down we would end up together, however in our time away from one another, you found someone to date, who you now live with and seem to be making moves to get engaged to.
I am happy for you, but truthfully, I am envious of the man who beat me to proposing.
Well feel free to join me in miserably sipping tea. Anyone?
Your making a mistake not to tell her this.
Fuck the other guy...
She's not married yet!
Are you encouraging me to hop on a plane and confess my love to her, then challenge him...sabre in hand obvs.
You don't need to hop on a plane an email would do or a phone call.
She's not the one that got away, she's the one you let slip through your fingers.
True, though is it not a tad house wreckerish to turn up in someone's love life and effectively say "I know you seem happy and all, but remember me? I think we suit one another better ""
Yes, it is. Why have you left it until she's almost unavailable?

Not sure if I made it clear but basically we both had to step in as carers for family. Spain to Leeds doesn't work too well and people move onto others when there's a year or more where you don't see one another. We stayed in touch. And I get that people find companionship when they are emotionally vulnerable
In short, we had a good run; either the guy she is with suits her more and I lacked something, or he's a placeholder and she is waiting for me to pick up on something when we chat. But if that's what she's doing then I misjudged her character. |

You did make it clear.
Whatever you decide I hope it works out for the best for all involved. |

But if they were so amazing would you have been so stubborn about whatever in the first place, meaning it wasnt meant to be. We could go round in never ending circles thinking about it.
I do sort of believe in if its meant to be it will, as you will still be making that effort even sub conciously if it it something you want to happen. And if the reciprocation is there, it will Be |

My problem is i see the faults in myself.
Lack of progress in life, not much work, nor money.
I think if i dated someone they'd see the same flaws in me., and think the same.
There is on who left me and think, yeah shes better off not being tied to this useless fucker 
I wish i was more successful with iwn place, secure job etc. |
