Regrets: Being Single Sucks Sometimes

by Cande Maire, Beltway Singles Examiner
This past week has not been the best for me. I have had my share of ups and downs and much to my surprise I am actually a little disheartened concerning my single status. Don’t get me wrong I am still happy to be single, but I saw someone who I used to talk to and a part of me wondered that ultimate question, “What If”. Maybe it is just me but I can not help the fact that a small part of me wishes that I was still with him. Did I lose happiness do to bad judgment on my part? Or did I make an emotional decision based on what was best for me at the time? So you are probably wondering who this guy is that has me all out of sorts?
Well he really isn’t anything special. Just your basic all around wonderfully perfect guy. We meet through a friend and had the best first date ever. We had dinner, amazing conversation, and a wonderful time with no pressure and no stress. I felt like I knew him all my life. From then on out we were the perfect couple, our relationship even lead to an engagement. There were no complaints from either of us, not even a fight or disagreement. Maybe I was just a little too young, I felt like I was smothered. Although I enjoyed the perks of our relationship, I still had a longing to continue my free-spirited single life. Sadly, sometimes when you listen to other people and take what they say to heart you may just lose a good thing.
Regretting past mistakes is a challenge for anyone. Honestly, there is no possible way to tell if you are making the right decision or not. I miss our time together, you making me laugh, I miss your smile, and all those quirking things you used to do to make me happy. So if I never told you before, I do miss you. Unfortunately, sometimes the pressures of relationships and pleasing others can be overwhelming. That is a past experience that I will always be very fond of. But to know that you are doing well and happy simply lets me know that I will be okay. Although I do regret the decision that I did make to leave, I now understand that it just wasn’t my time. Still it is a little saddening because I could be in a relationship with you, but I am still single. Yeah, it does hurt a little.
