I dated this girl for a little more then a year and a half out of highschool, she was my first love. The day I was helping her move into college she decided to tell me that she cheated on me and that our relationship was over thus breaking my heart. She was my first love. We talked on and off for a few years kinda keeping in touch. About 2 years ago she was in a car with a young cop who was under the influence and traveling at a high rate of speed which caused their car to slam into the median ejecting both of them. She was my first love and I haven't found anyone like her since and to be honest I don't know if I ever will. I think her passing away messed with my ability to allow myself to date someone else and I dated people after her. I think about her every day.

Keep faith my friend. I had a similar situation although less tragic and entirely my fault. I figured I would never find someone I loved as much as her ever again. I didn't for the better part of a decade, then my soon-to-be wife stepped into my life, and the young love I felt then seems trivial to what I have now.
It isn't easy, but it will get easier. Anyone who doesn't love you enough to remain true to you isn't the one for you.

That's exactly what I am going through right now, trucking through life until "she" walks into it. Going on being single for 2 years now I think. Thanks for the boost though!

Um bro...she cheated. no she's NOT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY.Sorry you have a warped view of love if u believe this.

Yeah I think its the fact that she was my "first" love is what is keeping the connection going. It's just one of those things I guess. Live and adapt.

My obliviousness kept me from realizing until it was too late ... so many many girls who I had a good chance with. Particularly the one who made a sandwich when I requested it at school. Like went out and got me some Roast Beef and Chedder cause she didn't have the ingredients to make me the sandwich I requested. Yeah really fucked that one up

I dated her for 3 years. We tried to keep going after moving apart but she blamed me for moving for my career when at the same time she put her career over the relationship. I honestly can't say I would take anything back, and if I was given another chance I would do the same damn thing. But losing her has hurt more than anything else ever could.

So basically you're saying that you are selfish/self absorbed but a romantic selfish...lol. Pretty lame bro

He didn't so much as "get away" as he did run away, screaming, never to return. I poked him on facebook today and he poked me back. I think we're making progress. Or, another restraining order will soon be delivered to me through certified mail.

that was cute. Why did he run screaming?

At a rave, smoking hot chick comes up and wants to dance. I knew her friends and apparently she was rather into me. I can't dance for shit. I smile and try my best, which looks like I am trying to dodge a fly, or something terrible like that. She looks upset and moves on.

understandable, why didn't you just say you don't dance and offered her a drink?

#1 Her beauty
2 High on pot, slightly nervous (still a kid and smoked more than I needed)
3 too loud
#4 she was the village bicycle I later found out

village bicycle means nothing. However the rest of your points are valid. I understand

Eudora. I was too afraid of failure to try and become more than friends, and now she's nearly 3,000 miles away.

I was writing some code, and I accidentally deleted one bit off my file. So there's a chance is was the one that got away.

My last girl was amazing for me. Devastatingly beautiful, caring, funny, and smart. I still have a deep deep love of her and miss her intensely.

Oj and Zimmerman

Dated a guy off and on in college and I was most likely immature and probably came off as clingy at the time. Still, had the chance to make things serious when he suggested I move across the country and see him, perhaps be with him. He just started grad school there and my mom was in the same city as him - she was urging me to move out there as well.
I already made things official with my now-boyfriend and decided to stay put. Care about my bf deeply, but I still find myself thinking about the one that got away and if I made a mistake.

The last one. Never going to be able to find another.
