57 years old and reminiscing/regretting about all the good ones I let go.

Is it just me or have other people routinely pissed off all the good ones for no good reason. (Though the reason seamed reasonable at the time). I'm a loner because I'd rather be alone then in a bad relationship. I've got a crush on a 35 year old who tells me age doesn't matter to him. Yeah right. I'll probably piss this one off too only to regret it 15 years from now. This is a fucked up post and doesn't have any substance. Sorry. Just depressed perhaps and I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

I feel for you and I relate a lot more than I wish I did. Don't know what else to say, except that you're not the only one, not that that's probably any consolation.

but on the other hand I threw away the potential good ones.

:(

one they let get away. Seriously. Even the Englishman who turned out to be married and I had to move to another state so I wouldn't be tempted to keep seeing him after I found out.

My mother absolutely could not BELIEVE he called wanting to know where I was and how I was doing 30 years later. Heh. And she loved the opportunity to let him have it. And she loved telling me he called, too.

Moral of the story is don't let the good one get away but make sure he IS the good one. Don't be with him just because you don't want to be alone because that doesn't do you or him any favors. Better to be on your own than in a bad relationship. Your reminiscing could just be that those guys look better with distance than they did up close. So you probably made the right decision to begin with.
