Do you have someone you could consider as "The One Who Got Away?"

Lovers do not always end up with each other. Some lose the one they love because of the wall they built between each other, some because they gave up on each other, while some because they were not able to let the other person know about how they feel. Do you have that someone you could consider as "the one who got away"?

I think there are always people who are the one's who get away. But I haven't let my exes go willingly and right now there aren't any that I feel are the one who got away because they hurt me in the end. There are times when I think maybe some of my exes think i was the one who got away lol.

I sort of do. We dated years and years ago, and were madly in love, but we had to split up because his parents felt I was too young for him (I was 17, he was 21). Then years later, we became friends, and he helped me through a rough spot in my life. We ended up becoming lovers and then we got back together and were together for 3 pretty great years. Finally, when it came time to think about the future, it became clear that he had different ideas than I did. He wanted to stay living in an area I couldn't wait to leave. He didn't care too much about travel and I wanted to see the world. Those were the 2 biggest things, but otherwise, we seemed pretty well perfect for one another. I often wonder if we'll ever work things out again, although I don't dwell on it. Even if he ends up with someone else, as long as he's happy, I'll be happy for him. He's a lovely man.

No I don't I got lucky. I caught mine almost 8 years ago. And then I married him! THe ones that went or got away weren't worth catching!

I do have someone who I consider to be the one who got away. It was more of his decision to end the relationship, but I still love him and would want to be in his life again. He got away...and I am somewhat thinking he feels the same way even though we both are in a new relationship.

There never is anyone such as "The one that got away".If you are meant to be with a person you will be with that person no matter what.What many don't realize is that sometimes one ends up with a partner they think are a mismatch for each other.But in the long run one realizes that they were meant to be with each other.Most people never give a chance for the relationship to work out.
