I met someone on here and due to circumstances beyond our control, it isn't likely we will get the chance to pursue a long term relationship, (due to distance, family obligations, etc.) Has anyone ever regretted letting Mr. or Ms. Wonderful be the "one to get away"? I wonder if some day, I'll regret not being able to work out a solution, so we could see where the relationship might have gone.

Yeah, I felt this way about my high school sweetheart. Then you learn and get over it and realize there are lots of good people out there. It's almost as if all the good people are really one good person. GOD. whatever you want to call your higher power.

Sure. But part of the 'romance' of wondering if they were "the one" is BECAUSE we assume it would have been wonderful, but we don't really know that.
Heartache is an inevitable part of meeting people, getting to know them, caring about them, and becoming
involved in their lives.
Bittersweet.

I am close with all of my "ex's" we are ex's only because we acknowleged that we were not going to be happy "ever after". It didn't mean the admiration stopped, it didn't mean that closeness and attraction left - it just meant we knew we couldn't be a couple for ever.
This isn't ever an easy thing to resolve or to do - but sometimes you must be more mature in knowing right from wrong.
and sometimes no matter how much you love
wrong is wrong

Something very similar just happened with me & it seems like no matter what you try, between the distance & the major road blocks you can't manage to make it work. I don't know if we'll ever meet, but I'm certain it would have been a great relationship.

To the one who got away:
Your friends and I wanted to do
something special for your birthday.
So we're having you put to sleep.

Nope, no regrets. There was a reason, learn from the past, don't live in it. (Unless you're Amish)

If I think I will wonder about the outcome of something, I tend to go for it. I gave my ex-boyfriend a second chance for this reason when normally "when its over, its over." Ultimately, the outcome of the second try at a relationship with him was the same as the first, but at least I won't wonder "what if."
If the circumstances were beyond your control, I'd do what I could to forget about it and move forward. Give yourself some peace of mind.

Once upon a time ,seven years ago now , I fell in love with a wonderful ,delightful ,kind ,intelligent, passionate ,beautiful woman .
We started via computer ,then phone ,then a greet and meet and sparks were a flyin'.
Had one of the most pleasant relationships I had had in twenty years, for a year and a half .
Then we started talking of moving in together . I refused to live in the city .
She refused to live away from a major city .
We seperated. We remained friends for several years after and then it just ended .
I for one, will not deprive myself again the opportunity of finding my love ,via long distance .
