Here it goes.
I was never one of the cool kids in High School but I had friends. Just after High School, in my first semester at college, I joined a rock band. I played bass, we weren't very good but we had fun. The one gig that we did was at my cousin's (he was the drummer in our band) high school talent show.
Anyway after the show one of the other people in the talen show told me that this girl in the audience, from the high school, though I was cute and wanted to meet me. The girl was hot. I learnt through some inquiries that she was not the shyest or unexperienced girl in th school (if you know what I mean). I was shocked, because as I said I was never one of the cool kids in High.
So I got her number and we talked a few times. We decided to go out to see a movie. She had won a couple passes from some local radio show so she was taking me out. After the movie I took her home and we were outside of her apartment in my car ('91 Grand Prix GT - if any of you are interested in knowing) talking.
<b>Here is the "I wish I had" moment</b>.
She says she has to go and she leans over to kiss me and she puts her lips against mine and I realize that her mouth is open. For some reason I don't respond and we therfore don't go past the little peck kiss.
She gets out of the car and goes up to her apartment all the while I am kicking myself becuase I am a completely inept idiot. I just let this awesomely hot girl who was interested in my out of my car.
I justify my idiocy by the fact that my cousin was getting beat up at school by her ex-boyfriend just for being my cousin.
But that was only a cop-out.

<b>So here it is:
<br>I wish I would have kissed her back</br></b>
<p>Just thinking about it know makes me feel so dumb. What the hell was I thinking.
<p><b>Damn I wish I would have kissed her back.</b>

I've got a bunch of these "missed connections" that I wish I could go back and fix. You know when you're out and about... you see a girl you are really interested in, she looks at you, smiles or gives you a positive signal, but you don't do anything about it.

I've had some really good long term relationships with girls who I just stumbled into at the store, at the park, or where ever. So sometimes I wonder what could have been if I would have pursued one of these missed connections. What if I could go back in time and say something back or ask the girl out? That decision could have changed my life..

Michelle or Janice. Either one, they were both great and I'm an idiot.

oh man... lots of them happened during my celibate years... i had women strip down to nothingness trying to get me into their clutches...but I would have nothing to do with it.

personally I think that it saved my life since I was always drinking heavily. There were a few hotties.. that would have just been... awesome I'm sure of it.

damnit man.

And of course I have had as many (if not more) missed chances as the next guy. Most of mine don't go that far though. Mine are closer to davidc209's. One thin I wish I could go back to the first time I did "it" with my last girlfriend (my first time actully) and .. not do it. Not saying I WOULDN'T do it with her (although shouldn't is probably true) its just kinda messed up in my mind as a virgin to then go and lose it to a girl on the second date. Another thing I would change (and this is a both a go back and change AND a change NOW thing) is to stop chickening out everytime and just ask out the girl I truly like.

Zello

Back in highschool. My sophmore year there was a pretty girl who started talking to me. Not realizing she might have been interested in me, I didn't really carry on the conversation. It quickly died off and I haven't talked to her since. It would be nice to go back in time to correct myself and found out what she was like.

Of course there are always shoulda woulda couldas. My freshman year I met two guys in the same day(both liked me), and I always regretted not getting to know the other guy better before making my decision to date the one. Guy #1 faded out of the picture while Guy #2 and I ended up dating for over a year. This year, though, Guy #1 and I ended up dating after not seeing each other for nearly a year and a half, and now I don't talk to Guy #2. So I guess things will work out how they are meant to in the end That's a heartening thought.

Nah, I wouldn't change anything, because I am happy in the situation I am in today. I can honostly say that I'm happy with myself, and what I've become. If I took back things I said to some people, I don't believe I'd be here.

Troublebot

Laura.

Laura came to school one day wearing my sweatshirt (I'd let her borrow it that weekend). This was a sign to everyone in our high school "I like Troublebot and I want you to know it.

And I made her take it off.

Why? 'Cause I'm a moron. I liked her and had no idea how to tell her or express it. She gave me an opportunity and I pissed it away. Dope.

This is much funnier.

I'm at a party, fairly drunk, and I'm talking to this girl. Can't remember much of the conversation, but this phrase comes out of the haze.

"I'm a dancer."

Ok, that's cool.

"And I'm really flexable."

Wow. That should have sent off some red flags. In my drunk state I didn't recognize an obvious pick-up and kept talking at her till she walked away.

Unfortunately, I had friends nearby who saw the whole thing happen and haven't let me live it down yet.

Sometimes I think that if I hadn't gone the route I went in days gone by, I wouldn't be with scapegoat now. As much as I thought the past sucked at other times in my life, at this point, I'm glad it went down that way.

Yeah, this one tall christian virgin I dated. I always respected her and never fucked her. She was scared so I never forced the issue because I actually cared about her. A few times she got drunk and I could have fucked the shit out of her, but me being the nice respectful guy that I am I didn't do it. I wish I woulda tore that virgin pussy apart, then fucked her in her ass and come on her face!

MSD

I wold go back to a point in high school, with an entire surgery team, and implant some balls in myself. I missed out on what was probably the best opportunity I ever had, and it's because I was too shy and nervous to ask a girl out as she was grabbing my ass and smiling at me.

riptide4070

In high school, I became very rebellious after my parents got divorced. I stopped caring about school, my health, how I treated people, etc... I began smoking, doing drugs, drinking, and making many other mistakes I will never forget.
Although I like the person I have become and wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for my past...I often sit and wonder what my life would be like if I would have handled myself in a more mature fashion like my younger brother. He has always done well in school, never touched drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or a woman. Except for him being a virign...I wish I would have been more like him. Sex is wonderful!

When I was a senior in high school I really had feelings for a girl I knew, and I finally worked up the courage to ask her out. We had a nice evening, and when I took her home after the play we saw she invited me in to watch TV with her. It was around 11:00 at night, and I had a 45 minute drive ahead of me. Naturally, I was stupid and told her that I really had to get back home.

I never got another chance to ask her out. A little over a year later she married a guy that was bad to her, and by the time she was divorced from him I was already in another relationship. I still wonder what would have happened if I'd just gone in to watch TV with her at the end of the date instead of retreating like a scared kid.

laconic1

I didn't realize just how truly horribly inept I am with girls until about a year ago. I was at a store with my roommate and this pretty good looking girl talked to me and was smiling the whole time and I didn't really think anything of it, and we went our separate ways. My roommate, who had about 6 girlfriends stashed across southern Colorado and northern New Mexico at once, saw this and said "what the hell were you doing? She was flirting with you all sick and you didn't even say anything? You couldn't even tell could You?" The sad thing is that I really couldn't, and as I have thought back over the past decade I have probably blown at least 30 chances with girls that were trying to flirt with me. Before that I wished that girls would make the move every now and then, and now I realize that they have done everything short of whipping my dick out and going to work on it to try to get me and I'm just too dumb to pick up on it.

BoCo

I regret nothing from past relationships, because had things not worked out the way they did then a)I wouldn't have learned whatever lesson I did, and b)I wouldn't be with the girlie I'm with now.

crazybill5280, I've been through those same situations as you, and the way I look at it is it's their own damn fault for not coming out and being more obvious that they wanted me. If they want to be all coy and hope that you'll catch on to their flirting, then they can just forget hooking up with anyone. If a girl wants me, then she had better just come right out and say something. In other words, it's not you who is the dumbass, it's them.

i wish i screwed every cute chick that i didnt screw in college for whatever reason. i remember this one chick inviting me to sleep in her bed (we were already IN her room ON her bed) on TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS and i left BOTH TIMES. why? cant say exactly. what a jackass I was. now i saw her like last year and she looks like shit, but i coulda had her in her prime.
if i had a nickel for every time i didnt wanna bang a chick for no particular reason even though i could have, i'd have like.... 35 cents.

There has been many things that I wish I could have taken back ... one which would have been to take school more seriously later in high school and college. I am now doing the schooling thing again - proper this time - at University and just hopw that it's never too late.

phredgreen

have two situations...

first situation is a simple one. i would've sent myself a pamphlet for the conservatory of recording arts and sciences while i was deciding what to do after high school... my whole damn family was pushing for college college college and i wasn't ready for that. if i had gone to the conservatory i'd be making fat wads of cash right now and doing something i enjoy.

the second one is a little more complex. one night i went out with a buddy to go mess around and we stopped for gas. while he was pumping i saw a purse sitting on the ground... picked it up and couldn't find any kind of id, so i decided to take it into teh store and some chick came up to me and told me it was hers. she asked where i got it and when i told her she told me that appparently she'd just been ditched by her blind date. i should've seen that as a big ugly red-flag, but i'm dumb so i didn't. instead i invited her to come along with my buddy and invited the biggest pile of trouble i'd ever seen into my life... if i had it to do all over again i would've just left that damn purse on the ground... wouldn't have even given it a second thought.

but what's life without mistakes?

Met this beautifull girl at Train Station, she was constantly searching for eye contact but I looked away ( .)( .) all the time ... she sat in front of me in the train. I was reading my book, and she was coloring her lips and so ... you know how that goes, but I kept reading until the trained stopped, she stood right up ... looked at me .. hesitated a bit, waited a sec .. I looked back straight in the eyes ... but I don't know why I didn't had the guts to ask her number or even say something :-( ... now I probably never see her again ...

well I guess a lot of you have had something like that, but that's the only thing I came up with now, because it happend yesterday evening

I have another...

I was friends with this gril in high school. Not really close frieds - like a guy is with the girl he really really really likes but does not ever bring up the courage to braoch the subject - but friends.

Anyway we used to talk on the phone every saturday mornig while we were each still in bed. We flirted alot and we both would mention several times that I should go over to her house and followup on our flirting.

Not sure why I never did go over there. Most probably becuase I never had balls to initiate anything or follow up on anything girl related.
She was hot. She still is.
Man I am an idiot.
I bet that I can think of ten more stories like this one and the one earlier in the post.

The nicest girl I ever met in high school had a boyfriend so I never asked her out. She told me years later she would have dumped him if only I'd have asked her out. Oh well. The same situation repeated itself years later (different girl) and I did ask - we've been happily married for 12 yrs.

That question used to cross my mind often. IMO it depends if your happy with who you are today. I see life like a sculpture: all the mistakes made, lessons learned, goals accomplished, pain, joy. While there is a part of my heart that will always be with "the one" I loved, I’m also equally excited about other realizations in different areas of my life such as my career. I wouldn’t be going in the direction I am if that pain would have not been experienced.

If I could go back to say the age of 5 with all the information and knowledge I have now; yeah.

I think everyone will most likely make some mistakes. I, much like many others, have made my share of mistakes. I put being real jerk to my x-girlfriend top on the list. I wish we we're on speaking terms, but I couldn't put things that were no more behind me.
Other mistakes include being drunk a girls bed in my boxers with a good looking girl I liked on top of me and telling her, and I quote, "we will always be friends." As a point of information I thought she was dating my buddy at the time, who was also at this party she had thrown. They in fact were not dating at the time because she was interested in me, but I know he was interested in her. Incidently they now have been together for well over a year, in some odd way I feel this is both a mistake and the right thing to have done for my buddy.
There are countless other errors, but mostly more minor.
