And in answer to your question... yes, for sure.

Very happy now though. But there's always a certain wondering about what might've been...

Last girl I dated when I was at Uni. I've got a job straight away when I finished so I had to move country. Same for her but she had to stay.
We seen each other on and off for about a year but decided to stop as it was getting harder after each goodbye.

Before I start I'll announce now I've always been pretty hopeless with women!

Back in early 1999 (good year!) a couple of my mates got into relationships with a couple of girls. One was hotter than the other. After a while one of ny mates got bored of the hot one and finished with her and started going out with her cousin (who he eventually married).

The hot one still hung out with us though and I always got on really well with her as we liked the same things (sci-fi etc). I thought nothing of it though.

I mentioned 1999 at the start because it's important as it gives you a timeline (I'm great at associating events with football matches). After going out to watch the Blackburn game that May my mate, who was still going out with the other girl, told me "You do know X likes you. Why do you think she's always out with us?". This surprised me a bit and I was taken aback so I went home still disappointed at the 0-0.

Fast forward to the FA Cup Final and once again she was there with a crowd of us to watch Catatonia in Llangollen in the evening. I was pretty hammered after the Cup Final (good ol Teddy!) and hooked up with her that night. Didn't expect it but it was good! Next day said we'd meet up again.

After that though my self-doubt started to come in and I didn't want to be compared to my more experienced mate so I said I couldn't go out with her because I couldn't do it to a mate. It was a terrible cop out but the best I could do.

In the next few months she did try it on with me again quite a few times, and I succumbed once, when she wore pretty much next to nothing on a night out but eventually she got bored/insulted and moved on.

I know now I was pretty stupid and should have gone with it as, looks wise, she was out of my league but personality was what she was looking for and someone to make her laugh. Experience now tells me not all women are as shallow as most men!

I regretted it for years because...see first paragraph!

As an addition to the above I've also never had a problem talking with women either. Probably because I've never considered myself to be in with a chance do have acted naturally around them.

What is strange though is that immediately I did get into a relationship I had more women being interested than I ever had. I wonder if confidence was something to do with that. The wanting the unattainable?

It's true. If I didn't have kids I could wake up in a 'I am Legend' situation and it would be no bother

Yeah, I don't really have any regrets exactly like described in the OP, but there's a couple of birds I didn't bang and absolutely regret it to this day.

Ok, so many years ago a seriously hot bird that had been finding me irresistible for a few months. Now her version of this story would probably be that I chased her for a few months, but I hardly ever have to chase birds, I only make it look like I chase them because its less work than the truth.

It only took so long because she was so hot that many drooling idiots that were in the friends circle that had formed were trying to get all up in her business. Even strangers would just ogle and look dreamy eyed and lustful. Fecking peeved me off. So I had to play it cool as I knew she'd already made up her mind, she just didn't know it yet. In any case, I had other hot birds to "chase" to pass the time.

A while later I had to leave that country as my job moved me. It was heartbreaking. And on the last night before I left she invited me to her place but we decided to go club hopping first and then come back.

Ended up getting so hammered that we woke up the next day in her bed and I was running extremely late for my flight. We'd slept in each other's arms and I didn't do fack all. She blacked out too, but as the man it was my job to make sure a man gotta do what a man gotta do. Safe to say she was very disappointed in me and it was all my fault. There was neither the time not the mood for a even a quickie.

I met her a couple years ago and was sad to see that she's been unlucky in relationships and kind of let herself go. We're good long distance friends now, chat on WhatsApp as we are in some groups together, but both of us have moved on.

But she was a goddess back then. In the top 10 for all women I've ever laid eyes on, no joke. Sometimes I wake up at night with shivers about it. Never again am I sleeping on the job. I've had to bang a smattering of equally or more hot birds just to try to fill that hole, which goes along way but can never replace that miss.

It's like failing to score at a world cup penalty shoot out. You might score in the next world cup final but the one you missed will still be there.

I've left out a lot from this story so that it doesn't get in the way when the book about my life is published. Being a best selling author is one of the few things I'm yet to accomplish actually.
