Anyone thinks of you as the one who got away?
Do you have a “one that got away?”

I don't wonder but I know two guys who think I was.
I caught the one that I wanted and he will never get away. 😂🤣

I had one who called me that but he never had me in the first place so it was pretty amusing.
I was told this at our HS reunion. 🤭 Still, mildly flattering, I guess.

there was a very wealthy, very wonderful guy I dated in my 20's. I could have stuck around and we would have probably married. but I decided I didn't love him enough to stay on the east coast, so I must not have loved him enough. friends were saying.. marry him ,and even if you get divorced, you will be made for life.
so I went back to the west coast and met my dh 6 months later. we went out to lunch on our honeymoon with this former boyfriend, also went to lunch with dh's former girlfriend. all was good.

IDK. The guy who I dumped to date now-DH whined, “but I thought WE would get married.” Don’t know if he’s ever thought of me since. Would definitely not have married him.

lol… actually a movie on Netflix. “Your Place or Mine.” I don’t think I am anyone’s “one who got away.” I don’t think I have ever really been loved like that where someone dreams of me, adores me, etc. I have one friend from high school I wish I would have explored a relationship with.

Two of my ex-boyfriends got in contact with me years later to see if I was available/interested in dating, so I’m guessing (at least at one time) they considered me that.
I don’t have one.

I kept the one I wanted and he’ll tell you himself he’s never leaving. There are probably a couple who are sorry I got away but I’m definitely not sorry I did. They turned out to be losers. See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!

It’s interesting to think about! A guy I dated pretty seriously at 18 reached out to me 40 years later. I was shocked, and pleased, to hear from him. From the minute we saw each other again we both knew we would stay together. It’s been six years.

There is one guy that I think of as the one that got away. I sometimes wonder if he thinks about me, but I don’t think he would consider me the one that got away.
However, there is another guy that probably does consider me the one that got away. But, I don’t think of him that way at all.

I have one that I'd admitt sorta got away and I'd guess I'm that person to him as well. We dated in college so a million years ago LOL. I believe we have lots of "Soul Mates" out in the world and it's all about timing as to when and where they come into our lives.

I don’t think I’m the one who got away for anyone. There are certainly none that I think of that way.

I dated a guy my freshman year in college. He wanted to make wedding plans and that terrified me. I was not ready for that at all. I abruptly broke it off. He later contacted my mother to see what happened to me. I think he might have thought that at the time.

He asked me to marry him at 18 and I said no. I thought we were too young. Life eventually took us in different directions and we went well over twenty years without contact. We became Facebook friends when I was 48. He again asked me to marry him at age 50 and I said yes. Married now for 12 years and more happy and contented in this marriage than I ever thought possible.
He thought of me all along as the one who got away. I never did until we met in person for the first time after all those many years. I knew immediately I’d spend the rest of my life with him.

DH and I met at 18 and started dating at 19. Pretty sure none of my short term boyfriends before DH think of me that way. I definitely do not have one that got away.

I know I am for one...the hs version of him would be for me, but we don't match up personality wise now, so we are fb friends instead.
I had two others reach out to me later in life, but I was married. One we've always had this intense connection, but again, I think we went different ways as adults. The other I still wonder about now and then.
I'm pretty sure xh and his hww decided they were each others.. I wish them all the happiness they deserve.

I have had three guys ask me to marry them, besides the two I did marry, one even asked while I was married to ex-dh. I doubt any of them think I was the one who got away and I have no idea if they have thought of me since - it was a long time ago. There was someone I had wished I stuck around with for a bit longer to see how things would have panned out. We were just really good friends, nothing romantic had happened, when I met the now ex. I thought about him a few times while I was married, just in general, like "I wonder if he would have turned out to be a giant ass too".

Five years ago I had two ex-boyfriends reach out to me around the same time. Both told me I was the one that got away. I got back together with one of them because he was my one that got away. I’m not letting him go this time! There is a 3rd ex that I think probably thinks of me as the one that got away, he wanted to marry me but I knew he wasn’t the one and I broke things off.

At my 10-year reunion, my high school boyfriend introduced me to his wife as *This is Joy, she broke my heart.* Who does that when introducing an ex to a wife? My date (I was still single) told me that all night the ex couldn't keep his eyes off me. When I saw him at the 45th reunion, I wish I hadn't. I wanted to remember the sweet boy from high school, not the chain-smoking, overweight, gold necklace laden 3-times married person he became.
I dated another guy after college whose dad had died by suicide (after his mom died) and he was a mess. I built up his self-esteem to the point he decided he was too good for me and we broke up. He proceeded to get married 3 times and called me after each divorce begging to get back together because I *was the one*. Sorry, sweetie, you were never MY one!

I know of two.
And I thought of one of them that way for a while (we had terrible timing), but later realized we never would have been good life partners. We probably would have lasted to our early 30s, max.

Yes, I was the one who got away. I talked with him again a few years ago to catch up. I dodged the biggest bullet ever!

I think my college boyfriend sees me that way. There were some attempts on his part to reconnect with me shortly before I started seeing my husband and I just didn’t want to go down that path again. We occasionally communicate and I think he acts a little too flirty with me.
