Subject: S/O Are you someone's "one that got away"?
Yes. Two that I am certain of due to things said over time and one that I wonder about. The latter asked me to marry her and I declined. She married and is still in that marriage 30 years later and assuming she is happy I doubt she considers me the one that got away but if not maybe she does. What I hope is that she is happy and rarely even thinks of me.

Yes, one ex. He made a "grand gesture" (showed up, in person!) confession of love when he found out I was engaged; I've been married for 8 years and he still occasionally sends (presumably drunk) emails / texts / voicemails from time to time. At this point I just ignore them, it seems like the kindest thing to do.
The thing is, we only dated for about 2 years and it was in our early 20s. I have zero doubt I'd disappoint the heck out of him if we were actually together; he's built it up in his head.

As of right now they both have 8 replies so I'm not sure why you think it's more popular.
That one has been up for much longer.

LMAO! This is probably true for me too
But one guy keeps randomly texting me every few months about nothing in particular, even though we are both in relationships and are not and were not close friends, so I have a feeling that guy might view me that way.

Yes several.
In fact one time I was out at a nightclub and this guy from my class who I had spoken to a handful of times arrived and started buying me drinks. In his drunkeness he told me "I've always been in love with you" and I thought he was joking and started laughing and the look on his face.... All I can say is it was very obvious that what he said meant a lot to him, poor thing.
Men are crazy and can fall in love with only the physical so this really made me realize what an effect I've had on people. I know I'm an attractive lady but this kid was IN LOVE and it's incredible how you can affect people without even really knowing them well. Men are weird that way- very surface.

I think I am. I turned down a marriage proposal when I was 25 to a really nice guy that really surprised him. I simply wasn't crazy about him and thought that a future with him would be unexciting. He eventually got married and has lived a pretty boring life but I'm sure he's happy. I've been married over 30 years to a great guy who has made my life an fun adventure so I think it worked out for both of us.

Yes, since I wouldn't marry him he got a mail-order bride from Korea. I'm not even Korean.

She got away and married another guy. Guess what, they are now divorced and she reached out a few months ago. Not sure if I can tolerate this again after she broke my heart, but love is blind.
