Do you long for someone in your past who you can never be with?

No, I don't long for her, but I sometimes think it was just a shame that it had to end. Now, I have someone I love who loves me back and I wish my ex happiness. I think it's good to move on and not dwell in the past and long for what is gone. So, I really didn't suffer a "lost opportunity at love" - I HAVE it now!

It depends.  I still love people from my past, just because they taught me different things and gave me good memories.  But yes, I think people can sometimes, sad to say.  People change a lot and sometime the other partner is not on the same page.

i would say no. cause i was with someone before he went home from college and maybe two months after he was down there and calls me up and tells me that he found someone new. after all the things that i had done and all the time we spent together it seemed like it was for nothing.

Past is past but the memories we left behind is hunting us deep within our hearts....next time, you see him...give him a smile and look away and never say things you never ment to say....

NO.\n\nThere are lots of people who will never have a meaningful relationship. \n\nIt has a lot to do with how well you can adapt to someone else's life. If you want to share a life with another person, you need to be willing to change your own to fit theirs. \n\nIf you are waiting for someone that you don't have to make any changes for, chances are, you will be lonely for the rest of your life.

You still have unresolved issues. No matter what the circumstances, when we leave things undone or unsaid we keep reliving those moments. You can truly love a person even though they didn't treat you well or love you back. I don't know why we do this either, but don't let your past ruin your future. If you need closure from your ex then by all means get it. Good Luck.

depends on who you are talking about. You have never held your children before they are born, but when they get here, there is so much love in your heart. I think that it is possible to love a person you have never held. The heart is a wonderfull thing. When you do hold that person, you better watch out, you might explode. LOL

Of course!  People say that you can always find someone better...and you might, but what if your heart doesn't want or can't handle "better"?  \n\nUm, but there's that old saying "if you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours....".  I truly believe this is true.  \n\nI lost a really great guy almost a year ago.  Another great guy came into my life, but I didn't want him.  My heart cannot forget my ex.

No, and I NEVER will! First loves are important in our lives, and will always be in our memories. Mine has been gone for years, but I still think about her from time to time. What we have to do is move on(but we NEVER forget).

i definitely would not mind him at all. this is because of some reasons: it's possible that he would only use me because i have a feelings for him, it's also possible that he would hurt again my feelings because he has done it before. but it's up to you if you want to take a chance, of course there's a risk. goodluck.

Wow, your situation sounds like mine!! My ex was older than me and he got over me way too soon. I wasn't ready to see him with his new girlfriend and i got upset. After being in a situation like yours, i think you should move on. It will be hard and the feeling of love with still be there, but i would forget him and just move on. You never know what is out there unless you go for it and forget about your past!! It sounds hard and you may not want to do it.. but seriously get over him and give yourself some time to heal before finding someone else. Don't just jump into a new relationship either. Really deal with the situation and make sure you're feelings are gone before getting with someone else!! Good luck :)

You need to find someone that is going to love you for you no matter what. She's obviously looking for that perfect someone that just fell out of the sky without a past. Good luck to her and let he go. Maybe shell realize that you are a great person no matter your past!!

You never really mend it ... you just move on and dare to be vulnerable with someone new. I could list seven names of people I feel have a piece of my heart, but number eight, my partner, has access to the overwhelming majority of it.

You might never forget, i still think about someone from 15 years ago. Unless they were total a__holes why forget? Keep the good parts and look for someone that has those parts in them as you move forward. Relationships and friendships come and go, but you need to be able to talk it out with someone to at least start the healing. The mind and heart suck sometimes!
