@Cowgirl: The “what ifs” are really the worst thing to live with. Failing hurts but at leatst you know you gave it your best. But years later if you didn’t ty your hardest at making it work you realize all thos things you mentioned (fear/ego/pride) could have and hould have most probably been compromised.

Robby I share the exact same sentiments with you. The regret of having ‘What if’ stuck in your head can last a lifetime but having tried and failed is proven and definite.
By trying it is doing justice for yourself.
Life goes round in circles, there is even a chance that someday in future you bump into that certain someone from the ‘What if’ and realised she might be the one but you let her go cos of fear/ego/pride…ouch

@Cowgal: Believe it or not I’ve experienced both and have to say that for me the regret is on some level better because in my case it gave me hope that it can still work out someday even though deep down I knew it wouldn’t. But being certain it’s over after having tried and failed it’s easier to get over it. Time, a bottle of vodka, and realizing you need to move on cures the pain. And I personally try to make myself believe the girl isn’t worth it and search for all her negative attributes to remember her by instead of recalling the good, cuz then it’s easier to overcome that pain.
I’m quite hungover right now (spending 5 days in Paris) but hope my reply makes sense to you like it does to me.
