Is there a time you missed the signals or turned something down that you now regret?

I have some. Might add them later if there is any interest.

If you don't have a few of those in your life, you're not human.

First job out of college

I was working for a car dealership doing programming back when it was exotic. One of the boss’s daughters had the hots for me, and I’m sure he approved. It just seemed wrong. I might have considered a coworker but boss’s daughter felt wrong. She was smart attractive and hot to trot. I ended up better off, but it would have been fun. This was a job I took while preparing for the CPA exam, not permanent.

More than once, while having a rich glass of red, have I engaged the couple sitting next to me.
Was there something there, or was it the wine-colored glasses?

No regrets

A long time ago . . .

I worked for a while in a semi industrial environment just at the time when the company started hiring women. My crew got four really nice, good looking women. A co-worker (male) seemed to always be in their midst and had a few dates with some. I just carried on as normal.

Fast forward a few years, long after that job. I ran into one of the women at a bar and she ended up taking me home.

Afterwards, while reminiscing about the old job, she said something surprising; “you could have had any or all of the girls in that crew”. I was dumbfounded. Of course I had to ask why me and not the co-worker they all seemed to flock to.

“Because of the way you talked to us”.

Once in a while I still think about them and what might have been.

I was about 15, back in NEPA, hitch hiking to get to a pancake house to meet some friends. Got picked up by a car full of 4 fairly drunk young ladies, maybe 17 to 20 (don't recall). They were pretty bold, but I was too naive (or maybe sacred). When I look back, I think they were waiting for some sign that I wanted to fool around. Instead, I was pretty non-responsive to the innuendo flying around -- they dropped me off and that was it. It could have been an outrageous way to lose my virginity.

Some of my friends all became roommates there were 4 people 2 males and 2 females but the apartment only had two rooms so they started sharing beds and got very familiar with each other. We all went out to the bar one night and when we got back to their apartment they all decided to play together and they invited me but I had a boyfriend so I just stayed out in the living room by myself listening to them. I told my boyfriend about it a long time later and he said he wouldn't have minded. I was so mad at him for not telling me!

Another time a girl from the same larger friend group was literally rubbing her boobs and looking at me and talking about how good it felt and how cute I was and somehow that still went over my head. That's how dull I am lol.

I recently gave up my CPA (CMA) designation since I'm not working in that field anymore. Even though I don't really need it now, I worked hard for it & have a bit of regret giving it up.
I'm now CPFA certified though

That first true love; been kicking myself over that for almost 30 yrs.

But somewhere, in the multiverse, we are an old, happily married couple. So, good for him....

Yeah, I turned somebody down which I regretted. I mean, I knew the moment I was doing it. Sighs.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Oh, absolutely. Who doesn't have a few woulda/coulda/shoulda's?

I used to... then I saw what he became and thought OMG, I got out of that one...
