Some of us cycle through romances like a change in the weather some of us have such long romances the stain on your heart will never fade
But long and short of it all something that seems to always be the case ……love hurts ….and it’s easy to say hello but hard to say goodbye

You have to find a way to be who you were again but the memories make it hard

Want to share a few hello and goodbyes without all the heartbreaking details ? I will start with a few I’ve been involved in ….train wrecks all of them :smiley_cat::hear_no_evil::pouting_cat:

The girl who shared her umbrella with me at the bus stop who then left me in the rain when her bus came …….same way she left me later when she turned and walked away …never to be seen or heard from again Did it even really happen ?

The girl who I met at a production of a play who I thought I had a connection with who I saw later pass by on a public bus who waved to me as I waved to her ……I walked quickly to the next bus stop and there she was waiting for me……she married a classmate of mine later . Not the cards I thought I was playing

The girl at the beach with three other lady friends coming for a sailboat lesson

I couldn’t choose between the one in the blue swimsuit or the one in the yellow ……- a long tumultuous romance later a letter from her returned some pics she had of me and a promise to return me my money ….never saw her or my money again …shoulda gone for the girl in yellow ….her sister …who I had a secret crush on and I believe the feeling was mutual

Found a lost dog went to my fav cafe told the woman who owned the place about it ,caught the attention of a young lady who expressed interest in adopting the dog

But as I was preparing to take the dog to the cafe the next day was giving it a walk when the owner of the dog happened by and I happily gave the dog back to him . It was his daughters lost dog

The girl didn’t get her dog but she got me…she wished she got the dog

She went to turkey with her mom and fell in love with the country ….and the tour guide

The girl with an interesting name on yahoo chat . Led to a long term romance largely long distance and the distance and the love grew ever distant

Another girl with an interesting name on yahoo chat followed and another long romance began and is still going on ….will our love wreck on the rocks ? Only time will tell……only time ……

What’s your story? Come on spit it out :smiley_cat:

Some of these can be plots to a rom com nom?

Any white girls in those stories? Might be the answer. Or maybe I’m just projecting.

Also to add, some get away from you and some you get away from

I’ve been a true knight of love for ‘my’ ladies. I didn’t run….they did!

But it’s ok I’ve come to accept that :sunglasses::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I’m possibly impossible to live with

No, white girls never had any interest in me I think I’m tuned to a different frequency as far as honky chicks go. I am invisible to them

Come to think of it if the umbrella girl really liked me she would have stayed with me at the bus stop until my bus came and then boarded it with me instead of leaving me in the rain when her bus came……that was a sign of things to come I didn’t notice

Course had I been a true man of action I would’ve taken the cue and boarded her bus with her and maybe asked her to coffee… but I was only 16 and she was in her early 20s in my defense

On the other hand….notice we have two hands….due to the age gap had she stayed behind with me she may have been branded a pedo and if I went with her I may be labeled a stalker

One wonders how in this modern world anything could be seen as innocent anymore ??

Aren’t you in your 40s or 50s now? How do you remember a woman you shared an umbrella with for a few minutes when you were 16? I can’t recall what I had for lunch yesterday. Or was this someone you reconnected with later? I’m a bit confused on this one.

But you’re right. We’ve gotten this victimization mentality so ingrained in us now, that if at 16 you followed your hormonal instincts and hooked up with this chick in her 20s, everyone would say you were “r@ped.” At least now they would. Back then you’d be the hero of the schoolyard!

i think i told the story before. basically a year from that brief encounter i was at the pool at TAS in the summer time when the pool was open to the public and this young lady who i had glanced at (glared at probably) in her very fetching pink bikini sunning on a recliner, very boldly jumped into the deep end where i was and swam up to me and said her name was >>>> and asked my name, to which i replied and she chummed up with me for a couple hours at the pool then asked if i wanted a ride home with her (she seemed confident she knew which part of town I lived in, which I didnt pay attention to at the time) in her taxi, I agreed and ended up in her apt (her parents were away) and one thing led to another , led to my “primo amore” . WAs weeks later when I suddenly realized I have seen her before??? !!! I said, you look familiar? She said “oh really” . I said "yes I am pretty sure I have seen you before?! " She looked at me. Then it came to me…SHE WAS THE GIRL WITH THE UMBRELLA. She recognized me but I did not immediately recognize her !

p.s. you missed the part where i said her leaving me in the rain was a sign of things to come?? >>>>implying a a future connection non?

I would venture to say that @tommy525 is the Marcel Proust of Forumosa, with the proverbial taste of that madeleine now composed and posted into forumosan immortality.

I’ll be honest Tommy. I’ve been infatuated with different women in the past but I thank the lord i didn’t end up with them.

As I’ve grown as a person, I’ve learned what I value in life and realize they really weren’t right for me beyond sexual attraction and perhaps naiveness on my part for the reasons I liked them.

And I think my life would have been worse off with them.

That feeling of love comes and goes. What I found amazing is growing with another person with the same values that align and working towards the same goals.

My cousins visited me recently and none of them with anyone and listening to them talk about finding someone made me realize how much I’ve grown.

They’re talking about things like happiness. These are feelings that comes and goes. Or often talking about what they want but they were baffled when I asked them what they had to offer the type of man they desired and if those types of men would want them back.
