Who was your person that got away?

never had one that got away but had a few who wouldn't go away

I have two people that i was close to that are really special but been ghosted for years now. I doubt I'll ever have contact again and it's sad. You just have to move on. 😔🤗💔🤷‍♀️

A decade of wondering how they got away? I have 5 more years to wonder about that. 😅 ⏰

A user here. What makes it even worse is that if it was something I did, I have no idea what because they didn’t tell me anything. Just stopped talking to me and blocked me for no known reason. I never expected anything serious between us, but they were the most valued connection I ever made here. They’ve had their account closed for a long time, so I know they’re never coming back, but I’ll never forget them.

All the way from high school...she had a bad crush on me (very good looking), I just wasnt responsive.

When I went to hunt her down many, many years later found out she passed away.
Made me wonder what path in life she took that had taken her so early.

It haunted me for a while. A visit to the shrink and some pills fixed it over time.

He was a long distance 'thing'. A fuzzy boundary. Was always scared of saying yes only to end up trapped like my mother. So I never said yes. And he told me that he wasn't gonna wait....after uni i cut off all sorts of connections with the outside world.... No one could reach me. My ship was sinking. Quarter life crisis. I didn't have a job. A plan. A grind. Or a will to live. I was so busy trying to keep my parents' falling marriage together lest they kill each other and then themselves, that I forgot they didn't give a sh*t about me in the first place to even start the whole drama. I was close to killing myself. 2 years later I tried to contact him because I was so tired of drowning without dying. I needed a straw to hold on to. I didn't want to die after all. I traced him and contacted him and..... And he had... Settled down... Just as he had promised. I was so heart broken. How could he? We had promised to never fall in the traps of Society's cult-like ritual of a binding romance. A business bargain of sorts. A legal mess. Love was not supposed to be all that.
Or maybe I was the fool.
The only fool.
Wow. It's been 2 years. I have moved on. This question just brought back a lot of bitter emotions. I wrote it in my stories. Perhaps I have deleted them. I don't remember. I don't like to look at my profile so as not to recall old stuff.

My childhood sweetheart, unfortunately he died less than a year before I would have found him again. 😢

I don’t really have one of those. A couple times I would have liked to have been given a chance but wasn’t good enough. Worse yet, a couple of times I was given a chance and still wasn’t good enough. It wasn’t anything I did in the relationship, just who I am as a person (you’re so nice, but…). There’s a special evolution there from an empty sort of haunting to an empty sort of resignation.

There was a girl I’ll call T. Funny, gorgeous, stacked, smart…literally a 9.9 outta 10. We were like Peas and carrots…But she couldn’t keep her underwear on.
Fastforward 25 years….I start getting FB messages. She’s all like ‘sorry…i was young and foolish but now I’ve changed yada yada. I let her know she dropped the ball way back then and there was no lookin back.
Sigh. Lol

I did in 2007/8. Wished I hadn’t made the phone call, I don’t know where he is now, only where he used to work and his first name and a recollection of what he looked like and the place I first met him etc.
The reason being, neither of us noticed anyone else in the room, only each other, and I didn’t know it then, but that counts for a lot.

🏃‍♂️ 👈 the one that's running away quickly

I never had one of those cuz I actually go for what I want. Idk how ppl could deny their feelings lol

I think I'm the person in ppl's lives that becomes the one that got away

I’ve been told today that the one that got away, says, he loves me.. I’m flattered, I hope so,…watch this space..

A lot of people got away from me.. fortunately for them.. isaac the paratrooper .. seth my rabbi’s only son and brian.. handsome as a star.. there was also a guy i left online: Davy whom i loved but who i wasn't sure loved me and because i wanted a loyal relationship.. i left because i was married.. there’s an old saying “there’s no honor among thieves” well.. “there’s no loyalty among cheats” either.. so i quit.. it was hard for me because love is a drug.. its an addiction.. but now i love something else.. namely a cute fuzzball puppy and also an ideal of loyalty.. so yeah.. I've never been happier

Not totally my fault but I did drop the ball a few times during my marriage. I have some regrets and wish I could go back and change a few things

I still haven't gotten over that time I cheated on myself with myself.

I have never met my person yet and I'm not the ball dropping type. They treat me well they get everything.

Last decade, you say? Try since 1974. It wasn’t in the cards as they say. Miss the hell out of her!

It doesn't matter I dropped the ball and there's no chance at reconciliation now.

There's one I didn't take the initiative on and have regretted since

Probably Nancy S. Still alive and still single.

they haven't even left yet but yep they're the one

I don’t have one.

Well, everything that's happened in my life has gotten me to this point in my life and I would not be who I am if it weren't for my life lessons.

Truth be told, I am in good standing with my life's direction.

I don't have one

Theyre dead now. I guess it helps

I always mess things up 🙈

I don't have any of those, I am the one that an ex let go away, and I'm thankful that he f*cked it up, as I was probably obsessed with him, not in love with him as I thought way back then, and I would not have had much of a life with him, I found him on Facebook last year, it's just him and his dog an his bike and his bald head.. after all these years, no relationship or family to show, and he's still a bicycle courier, so obviously he never completed his engineering degree..

No one living "got away". It was my choice to let them go.
