Regret?

<thinks> Maybe you guys weren't meant to be? If I was the guy, I would think it over and give you a second chance. Everyone deserves Second Chances. But If I were you, you should join my gang #FluffyTailHoez (ΦωΦ)

With the limited info on hand and near to zero % assumptions made on my part of the situation all I can say is that this is a common path people face. Mostly men but yeah it can happen to anyone for whatever reason. If the other person has no interest and just want to be friends then you have no choice but to take that deal. You can do 2 things one stay just friends and try to avoid bringing up old romantic feelings. 2 step away from the friendship and start looking else were. I would try to avoid being passive aggressive and make the actions clear and follow through as it will help you move past the problem and not linger over it for too long. These are general tips and should be taken with a grain of salt.

I regret rejecting a cute girl I eventually kind of had a thing for many years back who I met in a chatroom. At the time I was content to be alone and didn't need or want anyone. Trust issues were part of it though on top of choosing the group I was in over her. She had not been around for too long and the guys there would have killed me if I perused her (lot of them didn't like women) We stayed on good terms though till she left a while latter (drama with another person). She came back a couple years latter though now with a boyfriend but still went after me hard though. She was even talking about leaving her boyfriend for me, but I turned that down since it wasn't cool to do that to the guy even if I never met him, and it'd be hard to trust anyone who does something like that anyway. Same thing could happen to me after all. After a while I cracked and reciprocated her feelings, but it seemed like as soon as I did she lost all interest. She said she could see dating me if I lived in her area but didn't want a long distance relationship. She stopped going to the chatroom soon after that. A few months latter I exchanged just a couple messages with her using MAL, apparently she broke up with her boyfriend but wasn't looking for another relationship. Been years and haven't heard from her since. I guess I regret not going after her before when she was still single, but all things considered she might have just been board and playing with me. Never did hear from her again. And sure she had a ton of problems, but I was more than willing to overlook them. I guess you could say I had it bad for a while there. She was actually what convinced me to join this site and other dating sites, but I was never able to find anyone remotely like her since then. Years few by and it's been nothing but a struggle since to find decent people. I'm not sure if we'd be a thing had I done things differently, but things couldn't possibly be worse than they are now.

Oh dear... Well... LOVE ISN'T REAL!
