Have you ever broke up with someone who you thought you
didn't love, then realized that you really did love them after dating other people?

6. Nothing to tell really...
dated her, she was pretty but completely into her own interests and we had nothing in common; we both knew it quickly. She was fun though and would have totally been up for a meaningless "roll in the hay". Told my best friend as much at a later date. Basically, she had no intention of dating me either and I had pulled the plug too fast. Ahhh...college. How I miss thee.

14. Thanks!
Well, about 6-7 years. We dated other people and I was even engaged and was supposed to be married in 2004, but called it off. We've been together (this time) for almost 4 years now. I think it's gonna stick this time. ;-)

8. Nope,
but I am in my first relationship so I think I still have a lot of life yet to live. I am sure there are all kinds of experiences ahead of me.

9. No, but the reverse has happened to me.
(Meaning I was the dumpee and the dumper later wished he hadn't done the dumping.)

17. kind of
we were both young and he was leaving to join the navy and whatnot, i didn't think there was enough love for me to handle the distance and 'wait' for him or whatever. i came up with a hundred excuses to leave. and i did.

we stayed friends and in contact and a few years down the road, we hooked back up, although it was long distance- me being in washington and him in virginia (where he stayed after leaving the navy)

long distance is very tough and we split up again for a short while. but now we have plans for him to move out here soon. i've been in love with him since i first met him, its been on and off for 7 years now. (i'm 23, he's 24)

i told him when i was 16 that i was gonna marry him someday.
