The One that Got Away

March 10, 2008

It really doesn’t matter if you’re 19 or 89; you more than likely feel that you have one of these. At some point in your life, you were completely enamored with someone who didn’t find your charm quite as appealing. They broke your heart, but to you, that made them much more I usually lose it for some reason which tells me this might be the new diet plan; have guys I really like break up with me. Or maybe not. endearing. This relationship might not have lasted long, however it will be the most difficult to get over. After they dump you, you mope around for at least a week. During this week, you might not shower, you probably won’t answer your phone, or you’ll screen the calls because it might be him calling to tell you that he’s made a huge mistake. It never is though. It is also possible that you’ll lose or gain 5 lbs.

You will obsess over “what could have been” which is how the “one that got away” stigma actually comes into existence. With this kind of relationship, you never felt like you had a fair chance. Since these relationships are typically short, you never get to the stage where things are bad.

You see this guy as nearly perfect. And then, like a knife in the heart, he breaks up with you out of nowhere. It hits you like a ton of bricks and you can’t justify it. You can’t say, “Well, he was too overbearing” or “Good riddance, what a lousy piece of a**”. Deluding yourself will not work here. Telling your friends that you’re fine will not work either. The cloud that hangs over your head will last for quite sometime and it’s possible that your view on love or relationships may be temporarily altered.

It’s ok to have that one person with whom you MIGHT have had a great future with. It’s ok to obsess over them for awhile. That’s your right as an emotionally challenged person. However, the hurt that you associate with “the one that got away” will eventually fade away and you will be able to move on. You can trust me on that one.
