I still have his phone number and think about calling. I wonder if he is still that awe inspiring person I remember, or have my memories have become embellished over the years? Has anyone found the one that got away after a long while? If so, were they as great as you remember? And what happened after that? [/quote] well I am happily married, but I ran into a hs guy friend on FB a few years ago. I felt some nostalgia, he had asked me out back in hs one time and I was interested in another guy at the time so I declined. Well I got to know him again only briefly on FB and some weird stuff went on in FB (too much to list here and too boring) and he deleted me. I suppose it was some sort of payback for turning him down in hs, but he was a real douche bag the way he treated me on FB. So glad I never really got too friendly with him or shared too much info about my life. I would have never cheated on my husband, but I was hopeful we could have at least been friends,because he was so friendly with all teh other classmates, I felt alienated and now I don't keep in touch with anyone from hs. Everything happens for a reason, or so they say. and to be honest most of them thrived in gossipy conversations, something I have no interest in. And no, to answer your question he was not as great as I remember. He was divorced and seemed bitter towards me, no matter what our interaction were on FB (I never saw him in person) I was pretty much snubbed by him and any mutual friends we had at the time. I got over it real quick though, figured if he is still operating like a stubborn little boy then he has not grown up or matured to anyone worth knowing. His loss. [/quote] Wow, sorry to hear that. He definitely ended a friendship attempt. I'm glad you have a great marriage and husband. I sometimes wonder if the lesson I'm meant to learn in this lifetime is how to overcome struggle and hardship. Not defeat it, but learn to live with it. [/quote] yeah, I am not a big fan of Facebook because so much can be misinterpreted, but it didn't change the fact that he lied to me and a few of his close friends lied about some stuff as well. Overall I believe him to fit the definition of a sociopath because of the way things went down. Had he been normal, he would have just acted normal and been honest with me and just communicated like a mature, intelligent person. he chose to play games and involve people that had no idea he was lying about stuff. at age 40 something we should all know is how to talk to each other without being a deceitful liar. The sad thing for me is I can never go to a reunion or see former classmates for fear of running into him. that is the only thing that really pissed me off. he stole that from me, and my memories of hs are now kind of sour. [/quote] Do you regret getting in touch with him? [/quote] not at all. we all have a childhood and a past. It was just kind of a slap in the face to be deleted and never talk about why he treated me like scum. But again, I can only surmise that he simply did not have the skills to talk to a woman perhaps because he had a nasty divorce. I am not the same, shy person I was in HS. I've been fortunate enough to live and travel outside of my hometown. He is still living in the same town we grew up in. I believe we are just different people now with nothing in common. and to be honest the 4 years spent in HS can not measure up against all the other years after that which provided far better relationships,memories and experiences. having a crush on someone from HS is not the same as becoming a woman and getting swept off your feet by the man of your dreams in your 20s. no, no regrets.:hf: [/quote]
