Is there someone in your past that you really cared for, but broke up with, that afterwards you thought it could have worked out? But you didn't pursue it for one reason or another, and you thought later you should have tried harder. If you had a second chance now, if still single, would you want to try to make it work?

When I was in high school I went to a school dance. A girl came and asked me to dance. She was very nice and seemed to like me. The same night another girl also took an interest in me. Over the next few weeks because the second girl was a bit prettier I kind went with her. Yes, I am a bit shallow. Anyways we dated for a while and it eventually didn't work out. I still feel a bit bad that I didn't go with the first girl. That was over 40 years ago. I still feel a bit guilty, so if I somehow came across the first girl I would apologize and see how things would go.

Eventually I married a different person all together and when it came to picking names for my first daughter I suggested the name of the first girl, which my wife (now ex-wife) also liked and my first daughter carries her name.

Hey artistry! Nice move! I may use that one some day! 
No, I never told her, as it was one of a few suggestions I gave and she also liked the name, but she suggested a slightly different spelling, but the sound is the same. That first girl just had a likable name and that is why I suggested it.
I actually only remember the first name (how can I forget it, LOL) and I don't remember her second name.
You can butt in any time as these are discussions open to all.
Have a beautiful day!

Definitely YES! Especially now that I am not happy with my husband anymore. I think once in a while, that it should have been him, instead of my husband. I would have been more happy and content. My life would have been more colorful and bright. But, it's too late. What else can I do, but regret. If only I could go back in time, I would.

...Hi there atebuds, Sometimes in life we look back and wish. If we had only made another choice, but at the time we do what we think us best. It's that old saying, hindsight is always 20/20. But, if as they say as well, we take a lemon and make lemonade, then maybe it will not be so bad. Just don't put yourself through too much agony. Take good care, and thanks for your response.

It's basically impossible to say really, don't you think? It can only be a guess at best...it's like trying to predict the future accurately.
However, I think it's safe to say in my own circumstances, none of my relationships was ever going to work out.

...Hi MsTickle, You make a good point, my thought is that if a person was in love with the person, and they love them at the time, then whatever was needed to make things work out, if it was going to work, would have been tried. If I am making anty sense. So the lost relationship was lost forever. Unless, the two people meet again later in life, like Carol Channing and her teenage boyfriend did in their sixties, rekindled things and got married. These things happen too. Take care and thanks for your reply.

Though I am still single now,but I do not want to make it work.
We are all cherish everything that we experenced ,including happiness and sadness. The life have ended in last year.The pursuit of hanpiness of mine must be a "x" - unfixed in the future.

...Hi valen012, Welcome to the ranch, enjoy yourself, it is a great place to be. Life gives us ups and downs and in betweens. What we do with those ups and downs is what builds our character. So we try very hard to make the best of the cards we are dealt, and though we may not be so happy with all of it, we should always remember that it could always be worse. Thanks for your response and take care.
