THIS thread is about the one that got away. That ‘true love’ of yours that ended up marrying someone else? the one that broke your heart. NOw if you are like me and have a few of those? Just one will do thanks.
For me? lets see . Uhm… uhm. OK. heres one.
Met her while i was on a SUNFISH in Fulung (12 foot small sailboat) and i saw a group of girls heading our way (my friends and i were teaching people how to sail on these small sailboats). There were bout 4 or 5 girls and i had my eye on TWO of them . One wearing a blue two piece and the other a yellow one piece swim suit. I picked the one that was wearing the blue two piece. She she got closer (she had a NICE BOD) i couldnt see her whole face cuz of the huge pair of sunglasses she had on. But on the boat she took them off and i did a double take. WOW !!
The other girl turned out to be her sister and i sometimes wonder what woulda happened if i had chosen that one?
spent the whole day with her on my boat. That evening took her to the fulung train station for her train back to the city and she slipped her fone number to me on a JUicy Fruit gum wrapper.
Spent the next decade chasing that woman. Finally lost her and she took my heart with her.
Spent the next coupla years on tranquillizers wondering what happened !!!
REPEATed the process AGAIN and AGAIN with em Taiwan chickeys. ONE NEVER LEARNS !!!
HAHAHA i think that most people who post here are in a committed relationship and wouldnt want to share any personal stories here of PAST EXes. Fair enough tho.
Well this one isnt too interesting but in Highschool I was dating this girl, she was super motivated, very attractive, very smart all that stuff. She was working at an offshoot of NASA as an internship where she met this ugly ass fat old bastard with a steady job- of course I was just starting college so I was busy with that. So she left me for him and I was hurt.
The thing that REALLY pissed me off is that she was Sri Lankan, and her parents would never trust me to do anything with her, they allways wanna drive us or something. And then this guy, who is Indian, he knows her for like a week and they are off taking trips together and crap- RACIST!
Maybe if her parents would have let me get closer I wouldn’t have gotten dumped…
i am here in taiwan because of the same thing. road turns, she’s gone. i never got a chance. spent 13 years just going from substitute to substitute. push her out of my mind and she comes back in dreams.
just ain’t fair. i’ve done everything in my power to forget and move on and she comes back in my dreams! had someone say i’m just indulging myself. bullshit.
i’m going back. just to see her face. i don’t care. i’m going to look her in the eyes and say whatever comes to mind. then i’m going to go to the park and look at the ducks.
you only live once. might as well have a few interesting pilgrimages.

DUCKS? I feel for you BROther !! I guess you need closure. But maybe some things are best left unsaid?
took me years to get over it but i did eventually. one day YOU will be FREEEEEEE yippeeee !
I met her on an MRT, she was to die for and emotionally, perhaps I did. Wined her, dined her, travelled her and couldn’t feel even the slightest bit secure with her. She was Hwa-Mullan with a body delivered from satan himself that would melt the competition by the sight of any single line of her amazing figure. She stopped half a nightclub once in Newcastle England and that’s no word of a lie, I came back from the bar and there was half a nightclub (the male half) stood there on the ground floor watching her standing above on the second wearing a pair of skin tight trousers and a triangle that only covered her chest. It was the best and the worst time of my life all in one go and finally ended after I got mild depression of reverse culture shock after returning home for a short time and she decided I couldn’t pay her enough attention. I deserved it and have moved on to another love and another life. I’m the happiest I have ever been now with my wife and child and wouldn’t want to go back…Although wouldn’t ever want to forget those times. Thank you C’. I’ll always think of you, and I’m sorry for everything I did wrong.
Was about to type out a story, but then realized that some things are best left in the past. Most inportant step to recovery = keep moving forward and don’t look back wondering what if…
especially after one has JUST gotten married [/quote]
Exactly my point Mr. Smith
But, also a bit of advice for other forumosans out there that have those regrets in the back of their minds:
Let it go. It only causes more pain to linger. If she / he has moved on, so should you. Don’t turture yourself. Life is always full of new possibilities and opportunities. As cheesey and cliche as it sounds, it is so true: there are many fish in this great big sea we call home.
“How do I move on?” you might ask. Live for you and put everything you have got into building yourself. Hobbies, work, school, friendships, anything! Just start doing something, time will kick in and do its job and before you know it, years have past, new friendships will have been made, and even new love. Keep that chin up and keep marching forward.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that step! Perhaps my memory is a bit foggy on that one because I was drunker than hell and trying to screw whatever moved at the time. Man what a hell of a headache I had after that night…glad that part is over
