What were your missed opportunities?

[Xanthus]

Looking back, I've noticed so many missed opportunities of ladies (ranging from HB6 to 9) showing interest in me. What were your missed opportunities?

I'll start off with this one. Back in my mid teens, I was hanging out with my brother and his girl one night and we ate at a Pizza Hut. I went up to the jukebox and started looking through the selections. One of the employees (an HB7) walked up with some money asking if I could enter in some songs because they weren't allowed to do that while at work. Fair enough. We chatted for a bit and then I finished picking all the song selections and went back to eat my food.

Near the end, when all of us were about ready to go, she stopped by the table asking me if I had picked a particular song because everyone was digging it in the back. I said "yep, I picked that". She wasn't the one waiting on our table, by the way. We talked briefly and then got up and left.

I had initially thought she was just being nice, but thinking back on it I believe she went out of her way to get to know me. With the knowledge I've gained through here, I would have definitely moved the conversation into getting a number and setting up a date. Stuff like this makes me wish I had a time machine.

I've got plenty more of these missed opportunities I'll share later on. Anyone here want to share your own flashbacks? Looking forward to hearing them.

Only once did I ever have a date with an HB10 (she won a state-wide bikini contest held by our most popular radio station). Looked like Claire on Lost.

Anyhow I brought her back to my place after and had wine on my couch at 1AM on a Saturday night. But I didn't know how to read body language then (crossing their leg toward you - the "come and get it" eyes). I didn't think to ask her to take her boots off or her jacket off, and didn't make a move until I walked her out to the car. Got a pity peck and never saw her again. That was 8 years ago but I'll never live it down.

Though the next month I dated an HB9 and HB9.5 and got them both (I think the HB10 desensitized me to them) you never get over true missed opportunities.

I was in Vegas in 2004 with a buddy. We went to some clubs, but chickened out and didn't talk to any girls. (I know, that's pathetic lol.). But anyway, by 3am we decided to call it a night.

We were walking through the hotel/casino lobby and two HB8s approach me. One of them says, "We just got back from such and such bar. WHERE do you think we should go NOW?"

I was tired, drunk, and very naive. Being the nice guy that likes to help people, I said, "There is this cool bar up the street called such and such. You should go check it out.". They walked away.

Like Big Neil says, you never get over missed opportunities. I'm still kicking myself. My buddy, who is married now, still breaks my b@lls about it lol.

The cruel reality is you get more opportunites when you are younger, but you might be too naive/inexperienced to notice them or not confident enough to capitalize on them. When you are older, you are better at noticing them and acting on them, but they come less often.

heh, many many regrets for me. when i was younger i missed out a lot of opportunities. i use to go to this library all the time almost everyday to use the computers/internet. i didn't think about girls as much as i do now back then. i had at least four girls from that same library who was interesting in me. they kept hangin around me. one of them licking my neck, leaning on me, flirting.. another stole my house keys and put it down her top and told me to get it but i didn't

things like that... my biggest regret was this thin petite girl who i use to be good friends with and she really liked me. use to sleep over each others house almost every second day. she would sit on my lap, tell me i had nice lips, id massage her, etc. things like that. i missed out on some great casual sex for sure. she told me three years later one day when i bumped into her that she loved me lol.

i was mr nice guy back then and did not know much about girls and was nervous and scared to make moves. i learnt a lesson from those days. even if you're scared, make a move. at least you will not wonder about it. ... ever since those days i've always went for first date kisses and made a move etc. never gonna stuff things up and get scared ever again. missed out too much for that to happen again.

So many, too many. Yet I bet there are even more to come.

A year ago I'd just came back home from a LAN or a camp, and it was my sisters going away party. All of these chicks are 2 years older than me.
This hot chick with a massive rack asked me to accompany her to the bathroom (she was kinda tipsy), which I did. I didn't make any moves.
As we walked outside, she talked about how she had this vodka and we should drink it somewhere. Never happened.

Same night, different girl is all over me, but I dont go for it because.. Well I dont really know. Another fail.

Lost atleast 3 chicks due to not kissing them at the end of the date.

Had a girl tell me that her friend (which I liked) wanted to make out with me. I basked in the glory, but didn't do anything. (I was probably scared ****less without realizing it.) Later her dad refused to let me sleep over, and I agreed. WTF.

That was like a summer of missed opportunities.

Probably a few before that too, because I had too low confidence to realize that girls might actually like me.

3 girls i used to know was SO DOWN TO FVCK i could have been in *****town.

but i was a Virgin and wanted to " wait for the right girl" turns out. the "right girl" wasn't even right for me. funny that.

Here's another one. Back in my early 20's, I was waiting at the bus station with a friend. A pretty foxy lady (HB 8 in her mid 20's) was sitting to my right. There was a conversation that started with a guy to the left of us about computers and the future of the internet. I didn't think the lady gave a sh*t about what we were talking about, but I kept her in the loop so she wouldn't feel left out. Although she looked enthusiastic, she didn't speak much.

When the bus arrived, everyone exchanged numbers so we could talk more about internet stuff. I turned to the lady and got her number just before we boarded the bus. I was just doing it to be courteous. At that time, I thought she was out of my league. My friend and the guy were in a daze and said to me, "dude, you got her number!". I was like, "yeah, I know".

Now that I look back, "yeah, I know", she was interested in me! DAMN!!

Too many to name...playing High School football, I had so many opportunities, it's sickening. Even some of my teammates were going to hook me up, but I always chickened out and made excuses.

You should go check it out.". They walked away.

This reminds me of the end scene in dumb & dumber. Except you didn't get a second chance to rectify the situation and consequently screw it up again :woo:
