Yeah, this haunts me often...
Two different girls I knew in middle and high school. Very different to one another, one was a quiet nice girl who cared to make good grades. While the other was brash, loud, and could care less about school.
Quiet girl was a skinny blonde, while the loud girl was a thicker brunette and I was attracted to both. Although it wasn't until my senior year in high school did I get to talk to either of them, found out that both were interested in me.
The brunette was dating a friend of mine at the time, while the blonde was being pursued by another friend of mine at the time. So I didn't do much to pursue either one, but for either there was something there.
Wasn't until 7 years later after high school, I ran into both of them out and about. Which allowed me to reconnected with them both.
The blonde was single, but the brunette was seeing someone. I figured this was my time, I asked the blonde out on a date, she accepted and I asked the brunette to come have dinner with me too but "as friends".
I spent a couple months dating the blonde, while also seeing the brunette but all that time she was technically still with the guy she was officially seeing at the time.
One night having dinner with the blonde, I came to the conclusion that she was too nice for me and I was not good enough for her. We dated but nothing serious because I was more into the not single brunette so I broke it off. Never really gave her a good reason other than I was no good.
Well I focused on trying to get the brunette to leave her "boyfriend" and that didn't happen.
So all in all I missed out on a really nice girl who liked me for me, and she might not have been more attractive than the brunette but she would have been a great girl to marry... To make a life with.
Sadly not something I thought about all those years ago, but haunts me now.
Through facebook, I saw that the blonde ended up marrying a much older man and seems happy. Then the brunette did marry the guy she was dating who was the guy I was trying to get her to leave to be with me. She also seems happy, either way I screwed up.
So other than that one, wish I would have applied myself more in school, wish I would have been smarter with the money I have made, and wish I could have been a better person to people growing up.
