    Now ive had my fair share of rejections and not just from randomers on nights out but also from people that i would have interacted with more than once...

    Now just out of curiosity, im just wondering if girls ever regret sayin no or ever think back and wonder what might of been if i gave him a chance??

    Sorry its really 1 for the girls!

    I wouldnt say regret, because i dont really believe is regrets, but i do have to say every not and then i do wonder what if about certain situations, its usually just a fleeting thought generally as usually best not to dwell on what ifs as nothig you can do about it anymore!

    Not regret per say, I have said no because that was honouring my feelings or commitments at the time but on the odd occasion I have wondered if circumstances had been different what might have been...wistful curiosity perhaps. :)

    ive regretted a lot of things in my life- but only one id go back and change- and thats the way i treated my ex when i was 17- he was older- i was childish and basically i ****ed him up in the head- acted like a baby when i didnt get my way and he went out of his way to make sure i was happy- but it was never enough for me

    6+ years later i regret it a lot- He was the nicest guy and i wish i hadnt been such a spoiled brat. Im happily engaged now and with my man 5 years, and my sources tell me hes engaged too and happy so at least thats something

    Doesnt stop me regretting how i acted though!!

    Personally in those circumstances - no. If somebody likes you at all they won't turn you down, especially if it is someone that they have met more than once.

    Not regret but maybe wonder "what if". Its not something that would consume me tho. Just a passing thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭mayblue


    only 1 regret... during my depression spell I blew up my chance of getting married with my "at the time" boyfriend, however probably if Isaid yes when I didn't feel right, we would be filing for divorce right now, who knows...

    considering current circumstances, if he came back and proposed to me again today I would say yes without a doubt ....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭Annie Bananie


    No regrets here.. Only one "what if".. but I went for that "what if", cause I knew I could not stand not knowing what could have been. We now live together and been together for more then 1 year :D

    But my guess is, if I would have a regret, it would have been for someone I known for a good while, not over turning someone down in the pub.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 67 ✭✭CorkLady1983


    agreed, i don't regret things like that really, remember there was a lad a few years ago i liked, i didn't pursue it at the time, as i had a few personal things going on...kind of wondered what would it have been like....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 192 ✭✭honey79


    yeah big regrets on this always felt it was the wrong time or made some other excuse in my head was just too shy to go for it and now he's very happy with his new girlfriend and i'm left wondering what if

    honestly?
    no...

    if i met a randomer in a bar i would rarely think enough of him to regret rejecting him afterwards. why waste time on someone you never even knew? now guys you would know thats a different story.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Lady Funk


    Yup - i was stupidly crazy about a guy and despite what friends said i didn't realise he liked me back. Basically i was shy and lacked confidence and done nothing more then send a few flirty txts back. Years later found out how much he liked me - still fancied him silly but i had a BF and he had a GF. Oh what could have been. Can't help wondering what would happen if we both happened to be single at the same time. Regret not going for it all those years ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 254 ✭✭WonderAmy


    As most of you have said not regret but what if's I would say the same.
    And also about meeting guy's in bar's and pub's I wouldn't have thought twice about it when I was single. But it just happens I went for it once and now I am in a really good relationship and couldn't ask for anything different. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    regrets ... no, but the what if i had done differently scenarios like many others yes.....

    You wonder if you would still be on the "current" path your on now or would you be doing something completely different...

    Yes, there's been a couple of times I wondered how things would have worked out if I'd had said yes. Not with strangers, but with people I've gotten to know better over time afterwards.

    On one occasion I was asked out and refused (politely), but I got to know the man better afterwards, and yes, there was more than a twinge of regret.

    The one that got away, if you like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Niamho!


    There was a couple of regrets for a while, that are not regrets anymore because i realised things after that i was better off saying no at the time. Phew!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭MJOR


    i did years ago but no longer.......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭nevershutsup


    I have tried not to regret things i have done an let the past be in the past...

    as girls we think about things a lot more i think an thats when the ''what if?'' creeps in ...

    then its lame but to stop myself regretting or wondering i just try to think whatever is meant to happen will happen whether you mean it to happen or not?.... some say its a lame way of thinking but i don't know better then regretting what might have been if you had of let it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭MissIT


    yes :(.. i turned down a friend who im mad about, because i was too scared to say yes. Now he has a girlfriend and i regret turning down the nicest guy ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    It hasnt happened me often at all at all. Not over 5 times anyway :o
    Out of them...i'd say there was one person, because he was one me and my friend used think was hawt for AAGES...and then i rejected him.
