Dodged a bullet?

[spareparts]

Have you ever dated anyone for a while, then broke up, and then a while later you saw the person and said "what in the hell was I thinking?"

Please explain

[Herbie3]

Kinda like the USC and Brad Scott relationship.

Girl I dated for about 3 years on and off. She was bat shit crazy, buy I kept dating her despite several break ups. She had a stacked body when we first started dating, and put on a few pounds as we dated, but was still hot.
Anyway, right before I moved out here to Utah, she wanted to meet up to buy me a drink and catch up. Fine. I met her at a bar in Rock Hill and straight up walked past her without realizing it was her. She had blown slap the hell up! I don't mind a girl with a little meat on her bones, but not with the whole damn butcher shop. How I ain't see it coming years ago when I met her mother is beyond me.

Yes. This is true and exactly the situation with me. And like you, I did not recognize her. It was at Bonefish Grill. This weekend. She was huge. Muy gordita.

Yep. I went on a blind date with a friend of a friend with whom I worked. This guy was a top gun pilot and certainly had the attitude and arrogance to go with it. When I met him, he was flying for a charter airline because he had lost his job at Continental Airlines when they merged with United Airlines. We went out for a few months. I was a single mom with 3 little girls. How's that for man repellant?! Anyway, he always said that the girls weren't a problem and would invite us to come over to his home every weekend, which was about a one hour drive from my home, and that's one way. He lives in his town's historic district and his home is on the National Registry of homes. He did his reserve duty at a local AFB, which was close to my home. One night I told him that when he was excused for the weekend to come to my house for dinner. I had a huge meal cooked and it took me a while to prepare. He calls and said he wanted to go home first to change when our plans would be that he'd come to my house straight from his reserve duty. So, I had to wait 2 hours for him to get to my house and the food had been cold. After a few months, he sort of quit calling, but I wasn't too hurt about it because I wasn't likeing the vibe I got from him. I start seeing somebody else and this guy calls wanting to go out with me and I told him "no" because I was already seeing somebody else He proceeds to make fun of the guy and of me and our situation, sort of mocking us. He was acting like a foolish child. So I pretty much told him I had nothing to say to him and never call me back. He is a pig!

Aw Mel that's terrible! At least he's not around for the sake of your daughters.

[Spurticus]

OH YES.

But let me add here.... I'm sure there are a lot of our Ex's out there that can
look at us now (or in the near future) and say "I dodged a bullet"

[cack]

I guess you can really say that all of your exes you did this with? I know some grow up and are decent people, but there's a reason it didn't work out with them.

My last one was a crazy bitch that while we were together I told people that I had no clue why we were together ... now I couldn't have it any better and I laugh at the Clemson dude stuck with her now.

Nah, I'm not buying that AT ALL. How could someone dodge a bullet by missing out on this?

It's the gift that keeps on giving

[Cheezy]

Not really, it seems petty and vindictive. I took away something from every relationship I've had, ones that ended well along side those that didn't, and learned from those experiences. Every former long-term girlfriend I've had is a good person, and just because a romantic relationship didn't last, and friendship always did.

[GH]

I am attracted to high maintenance, crazy eyed, daddy princess, drama queens....I will date about ten more before I learn my lesson...I also expect I will have dodge a few metaphorical and literal bullets

[Mr.101]

Can't say I have. I mean, besides dating a closet lesbian for 1 1/2 yrs, but it's not like she was crazy or anything
