| If we could Rewind?
Posted: 4/15/2009 4:42:19 PM | During high school I had this little krush on this particular girl. This was the only and last girl where I couldn't approach because it was intimidating, other than that I haven't had any problems with approaching girls.
Anyhow, one day I managed enough willpower to walk up to her and I asked her if she would like to hang out, so she gave me her phone number. I never called her. I found the act of calling her too intimidating. *hangs head in shame*
Mind you, this was early-mid teens, so I was still somewhat new to the whole "dating/relationship/flirt" deal. I just found it amusing to think back on that. These days I don't let that stop me, of course. | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 5:29:24 PM | I think back to another thing I would change if I could rewind.
My last year of little League, I was the Lead pitcher and the catcher
was a wise azz good friend and classmate. Anyway we were losing
badly to a team we beat up on all year,so unjustly, we blamed the umpire.
During the last inning the catcher approached me at the mound and said:
"this umpire is a Di*k". Throw the next ball as fast as you can and I'll let it
go by me to nail the fat azz. Well, I did! And the catcher let it by him and
it clocked the umpire and knocked him down. It also made him tear his
pants at the rear which I'm sure was embarrassing for that poor guy
that didn't really have anything to do with us losing. What made it worse
the man was not Mad at us and didn't suspect that it was planned.
That made us feel worse. If I could rewind...I'd of nailed him in the
leg instead! LOL | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 7:03:21 PM | i would not be such a tongue-tied, flustered, wigging-out freak of nature and summon up the courage to actually say "hello" to the beautiful stranger that's crossed my path *twice* in local shops the last few weeks.
gah. this "peek and smile" thing we do back and forth drives me batty.
i literally walked into the corner of a wall after our last encounter. thought i would die of embarrassment. then realized that any person in their right mind would likely be flattered that a member of the opposite sex responded that way to their mere presence.
i'm an idiot.
i've kicked myself both times after walking away. and i promise myself that the next opportunity arises to talk to him....i am TAKING it!!! | |

Funny! But are you being Honest? | |

Posted: 4/21/2009 7:17:15 PM | If I could KEEP all of the knowledge I've gained in the last 12 years and REWIND, I'd go back to the beginning of the relationship I had with my ex-husband and make it work. I certainly don't love him now but I sure did back then. I'd have done anything to keep our family together ... but didn't have any clue what to do.
If I couldn't keep it there would be no sense in rewinding because I'd make all the same stupid mistakes again! | |

Posted: 4/21/2009 8:28:16 PM | | I don't regrets of what I have done in the past ,these wrong things that I did on impulse or on trial and error experiences is a great lesson that makes me matured and wiser. | |

Posted: 4/22/2009 9:04:39 PM | Manda, I tried to e-mail you but your restrictions prevented me.
Just wanted to say, I'm sorry you feel that way, I grew up with similar feelings also knowing I didn't ask to be here... so whatever is going on it is not YOUR fault.  | |

Posted: 4/22/2009 9:36:23 PM | There's no point in rewinding if we didn't have the wisdom gained today.
If I could have an 18-year old body again with what I know now... that would be something. But us being ourselves, we'd likely be doing the exact same thing even if we got rewinds if we did not have the ability to bring today's knowledge to bear on our younger selves.

No one has regrets about not saying "Hello" to that person
who left the social event before you had the chance to speak?
I DEFINATLY have one of these.... still drives me nuts.
Was at a parade with my son and my son was in the parade so we were near the starting area and i kept sharing flirting glances with a blonde woman sitting on the tail gate of her buick rendeview( or however that thing is spelled one of those things like the tiger woods commercials)
But i was helping my son get ready and and planned to grab her number after i got my son started on his way in the parade.... but since he was young and scared he wanted me to walk beside him during the parade..... So i never got the chance to get her number because by the time i got back after the parade to see if she was still there...she was gone and i looked for her or her car for a few weeks around town and even though it was a VERY small town... NOBODY knew who she was....I asked everyone i knew that was there that day to try to find her. I even went so far as to drive all over town looking in every drive way to try and find her car.
4 years ago and she still pops in my head from time to time...weird
So if that was you out there flirting with me sitting in the parking lot of that cell phone company... ....EMAIL ME...LMAO
figure you never know who reads these things.
For awhile i wondered if it was a test from God to make sure i did the right thing by being there for my son instead of chasing after the girl.
Still wish he would have found a way to let me do both

Posted: 4/22/2009 10:08:13 PM | | Msg 3. Well said. I too, wish not to discuss the one thing I screwed up on. As a matter of fact, I have mentioned it on the forums in the past and I don't want to keep repeating myself. I have made my share of mistakes. Some of which I wish for a do over. Since it won't happen I just want to learn, move forward and not make the same mistake anymore. | |

Posted: 4/22/2009 10:17:37 PM | | I would have ended my last relationship in its 12th year, instead of letting it drag out to 15. | |

Posted: 4/22/2009 10:28:18 PM | Honestly if I could remember everything I know now, I would rewind back to the moment I was born.
If I could only change one thing I would have been a lot more patiant with someone I knew five years ago. Really don't want to go into detail as there is no point. I can't rewind, even though in my mind I have a trillion times. | |

@~DREAMS~
I feel you and understand. I have had many moments where
( here in NYC) a beautiful woman with no RING has sat across
from me on the Subway, even exchanged smiles and just when
I gathered the courage to say something...it was her stop or mine
and either of us had to go! One woman even waved at me as I left.
I wonder today if maybe I were more aggressive would I have found
at least one of those "missed Chances" the woman of my deepest desires?
I'm all for the "I am the person I am today because of ect..ect" however,
there's no harm in retrospection of certain parts or moments that we might
of made a slight adjustment that changed our future!
GOOD POST ~DREAMS~ | |

Posted: 4/23/2009 7:51:11 AM | | I would have worked harder on my past relationship and never hurt him the way I did. I know you cant take back anything you say or do and its all a life lesson but this one lesson will never go away. Im so in love with him but caused too much damage for repair, I would do anything to take back my past mistakes with him and just be happy. I also rather live alone than live with any one other than him. I dont care what all of you say about wanting to take something back and how selfish it is. This is what I regreat and live with every day! And deserve to suffer for my sins. | |

@fairykandie
This is the exact type retrospection , that is indeed healthy and
you grow from.  | |

No one has regrets about not saying "Hello" to that person
who left the social event before you had the chance to speak? -- We may think we have regrets -- but do we really? You never know what disaster may have transpired (had you chosen the alternative course).
Have I had a few What If moments? Sure I have:
1. Would Miriam's friend Debbie really have agreed to a threesome? -- I'll never know -- I didn't go there, despite Miriam's encouragement
2. When Barbara ran into my apartment and jumped on my water-bed, should I have gone for it? -- I'll never know, because I didn't want to make her girlfriend sit out in the car waiting for her
I could list a plethora of "What Ifs", but at each fork in the road, you have a choice of several different views.
OP -- I ask you this -- using your example -- "What if you had said "Hello" to that person, and she shot you down?" Which is better -- to have had the ability to relive this "What If" over-and-over, or to simply have had the door slammed in your face?
If you had introduced yourself to her, then your life would have (possibly) taken a different course, and you would be at the other-side-of-the-river, wondering what it's like on the other side.
