I think I used to have maybe one or two who I thought were ones that got away but in reality with was just the feeling of not closure that kept me ruminating on them and what happened or didn't happen between us.
I think there is a guy or two who feels that way about me, or did at the point they told me that although I find in general that men are less likely than women to fully close the book on a past relationship and are more likely to be open to re-establishing a relationship under the right circumstances than women who are a bit more final when they decide its over.
Now I'm older I tend to think relationships that end or don't work out or never get properly started are that way for a good reason and that unless someone what forcibly removed from your life against both your wills (this rarely happens but I suppose it could sometimes) then the concept of the "the one that got away" is a bit of a fantasy.
What do you all think?
