My first boyfriend.. from when I was in high school - treated me horribly and broke up with me. Being my first boyfriend I was pretty upset... years later.. when I was in college - he added me on facebook and saw me at the bar, he tried contacting me and even sent a message apologizing for his behavior, and that I was beautiful and had a lot going for me. I eventually blocked him on facebook because he creeped me out. lol
Another guy I had a thing for about 4 years ago, did not want anything to do with me. He was the player type, barely gave me the time of day. Now he's my friend and he's witnessed me going through this time with my current ex boyfriend.. he sent me a text the other night saying "you are gorgeous and deserve so much better than that and I'd take you out but I know i lost my chance." I didnt even reply, I don't have feelings like that for him anymore. Ya snooze ya lose, ya know?
A 3rd guy, actually the guy i lost my virginity to... treated me like crap, basically just used me ... a few years later asked me out to lunch sometime. I declined.
All of these men I just dropped like a bad habit and stopped gracing them with my presence or attention anymore. One day they realize what they lost.
As of last night I decided not to contact my ex anymore and completely disappear off his radar.. it's been 3 months of me pining for him. I hope that one day he will come crawling back and realize how he messed up and what he's lost. Only time will tell.
