permalink to this result commentsBicoid Babe: It's not so hard to get over an ex when they suffer from this: http://qwantz.com/regret/index.php?askme=21803
Or: when they look like Janice Dickinson.
Bicoid Babe: No, I was talking about my first two exes when I brought up that regret. They started out praising me for 'standing my ground' and 'being virtuous in a filthy-minded society' and then ended up hating my guts and sleeping around on me.
Bicoid Babe: Compared to those two, Alejandro was a saint. He liked me for who I am and didn't try to remake me into what he thought I should be.
He didn't force you to be a black Ellie Dee from Cherry: when all you wanted to be was a busty, hippy Marceline from Adventure Time.
Bicoid Babe: Exactly! I wish I'd told him how I felt when we were still in college...
It's probably best that you didn't. I had feelings in college, and sure, they were strong and probably true: but telling the people I had those feelings for what they were years later would at best be a distracting, confusing conversation, and at worst come off as crazy. You should always oh I see. Yes. Sorry.
I think: you parsed the prior comment wrong.
Bicoid Babe: Whoever that was has a point, though. While I was in college, there was another guy I had feelings for but I was too chickenshit to tell him. Long story short, he ended up in a relationship with another woman and went to the Philippines for medical school
Bicoid Babe: I'm now Facebook friends with him and I'm happy to see how far he's come in life. Even though he and I are both now single, there's no guarantee that we'd work as a couple and therefore there's no point in me beating myself up over it.
No but: you can totally agree to meet up and see how it goes.
Bicoid Babe: Yeah, that might be fun. He does return to Chicago a few times a year.
