I know EXACTLY where you are coming from. I had the same thing happen to me early last year. I met a girl, we connected really well, BUT, she had a boyfriend and things got ridiculously complicated. We don't even talk anymore and she moved back to Ireland, yet is dating a different guy in Winnipeg now. I have tried to e-mail her every once and a while, and she's sent me back a brief impersonal e-mail once or twice. Long story short I'm really disappointed that we didn't get to see how we'd be together.

But I think that's the whole reason why I'm not over her, because with other girls I've dated, I know that we gave it a fair shot, things didn't work out and we move on. But in this case, we never got to really see how we'd be together so there'll always be that 'what if?'

You know, it sounds a lot less pathetic when you put it that way, Jamie! You're right, it is that question about what could have been that keeps me thinking about this guy. It's that whole idea of the-one-who-got-away.

I'm sorry about your experience! Finding people who you connect with that well is so rare, I know how disappointing it is when it doesn't work out.
