Have you ever fallen for someone you couldn't have?

Yes. I got confused and ended up obsessing over her. Then I failed out of university. She was perfect. Next time I won’t stay on the fence, and I would ask the next one out faster. Now she is married with three children.

@RedDeerGuy1, oh my. Was she a friend? Or an acquaintance? Who was she to you? Why did you think she was perfect?

@the_overthinker She was my best friend. She was into dragonlance. Had a 9.0 average and was tall. I fell in love with her but another friend asked het out first. I was dating someone else at the time. I was confused

Hmm.
Chief Bogo?

@RedDeerGuy1, ah I see. Thanks for sharing. I also had a guy best friend who I was very comfortable with. We got along so well that everyone thought we would be perfect for each other. Unfortunately, at that time, though I had feelings for him and also thought we would make a good couple, (and I know he felt the same), I didnt want to be in a serious relationship and decided to date casually, instead of pursuing anything with him. Shortly after, he entered a relationship with a girl that he met through me.. Sometimes I still wonder what could have happened.

Well, sure. Who hasn’t??

Yes, on more than one occasion. It is one of the most awful feelings in the world.

The thing I would do differently, is try to realize that it was never going to happen much sooner, try not to wallow in the sadness for more than a couple of weeks, move on much quicker, and make it my goal to be busy and productive, instead of sad and immobile.

We were both divorced. He drove a city bus.
The first time I saw him I couldn’t get those eyes out of my mind.
He was a super sweet man, and very good looking. I wasn’t the only woman who sometimes took a bus someplace she didn’t need to go, just to see him and talk for a little bit.
I tried pretty hard to attract him, but he was damaged goods, and he was gun shy, so to speak. He had two sons, and they both tried to get me fixed up with their dad.
I just wasn’t what he needed at the time, I guess, but I still sure wish I had been.
Jobs were scarce, and I had to make the decision to move to another town. The day before I left, I went by his house to say good bye. His youngest boy popped out with a football, wanting to play catch. He started to send the boy inside, so we could talk. I jumped off the porch, and called for him to throw. We all ended up passing the football in the back yard, and talking, until it was too dark to see the ball.
I had a pretty darn good arm in those days.
