I had that same problem in college. In high school, I had really great chemistry with this girl but we never quite got things going. Then in college, I had an opportunity to date her and played it perfectly and successfully and we started happily and passionately dating.
And then it decayed almost immediately into a mess. We spent a lot of time trying to pretend we were still in high school when neither of us was. It was bad for a lot of reasons.
I regret letting her slip away when things between us would've been healthy and cool, because by the time I had another chance, it was too late. I still feel embarrassed about how that whole thing worked out. I don't think I've had a conversation with her since (she's a good friend of my sister's and we're on amicable terms) that I didn't feel like a total jackass about after I thought about it later. Ugh.
My other slip away was abhorrent timing on both of our parts, but it kind of ended up in me meeting my wife instead of being with her. So I can't say I really regret that one too much.
