Have you ever just wanted to be with someone so bad...

[friesianrider]

And you KNOW it would be a great relationship and think the world of the other person, but the timing was off...way off? Just a very bad time for both of you?

God, this supremely sucks. :(

[Lorien]

1. Yep n/t

[smbolisnch]

2. Is this about the cutie you posted the photo of?

[friesianrider]

3. Yes :(

*sniffle*

I'm having a very bad day :(

[smbolisnch]

4. Awww...I'm sorry. That sucks.

:hug:
Did you get my PM?
ETA: You realy are having a bad day. :(

[friesianrider]

15. Yes, thanks bunches :)

You and me are so on the same wavelength it isn't even funny! :) :hug: Thank you so much for all your support!

[smbolisnch]

16. .

:pals:

[RandomKoolzip]

5. Yeah, but then I remember...

That there are people being killed and buried in mass graves in the Sudan, that the Antarctic ice caps are melting at a faster rate than ever, and that our voting machines are owned and opearted by the enemy.

And then it dawns on me: my problems are insignificant, and things like unrequited crushes (which happen to me with alarming regularity) don't seem very important anymore.

[Syrinx]

11. no offense, but that reminds me of "Debbie Downer" from SNL

:D

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Debbie Downer had a vision. n/t

[Wapsie B]

6. Yes.

It's not a good feeling at all. It does suck big time. I'm sorry you had to experience that.

[leftofthedial]

7. most of my life, as it turns out

love stinks. yeah yeah.

[friesianrider]

8. What sucks is when...

The feelings and compatibility are all there...it's just the worst time ever for it to happen. Why, why, why? :mad:

[leftofthedial]

10. timing is everything in life

and mine has perpetually been awful, so I know what you mean.

Hang in there. Be patient.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. Yes, definitely

:-(

When I was living in a large apartment building, I met a wonderful man in the laundry room. We hit it off immediately. Come to find out he had been living there for two years, although given that there were 200 apartments in the complex, it wasn't so surprising that we hadn't run into each other before.

So what was the problem? He was scheduled to move not only out of the building but to Malawi to join the Peace Corps in three days' time!

[LastKnight]

12. yea, and we wentfor it anyway.

bad idea. it woulda worked. just bad timing.

[Wetzelbill]

24. man, we always meet up on these threads nt

[Buddyblazon]

13. Yes.....

but I actually prayed to God that she would be the one. And I'm agnostic. Haven't prayed in years. Besides, it seemed so selfish to be praying for myself.

But we've been together for 2 and 1/2 years now...and our relationship is getting better everyday. So either God was listening or the timing was not as bad as I initially thought.

Don't worry. There will be a right time and place and the next thing ya know, you'll be in a comfortable relationship.

[Syrinx]

17. sounds somewhat familiar

:banghead:

[WCGreen]

18. Just let it happen.....

Peole make the timing issue......

Go for what you can and never, my friend, worry about a broken heart... Cause that will stop you from ever having the experience, the true delight of love...

I would trade one magical night of love for a thousand nights of settled upon companionship....

[Solon]

19. Yes, I know exactly how you feel...

going through that time right now, and now I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have with her, while it lasts, which will not be a long time.

[smbolisnch]

20. Yes. nt

[WCGreen]

21. There was a song out about 40 years ago....

WE'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh everyday
We'll sng ing the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way.....

I will never love you
The cost of love is too dear
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year....

Take what comes your way

[Skittles]

22. timing off because of a 21 year age difference

infinitely more painful

[Wetzelbill]

23. every day for a little over two years

I've actually posted about it a few times here. Honestly, my heart sometimes, literally, aches for her. I may have just recently came upon a slim chance. I'll do my best with it, just depends on her. I don't know if it came at a bad time. It was more that I screwed up and pushed her away. She pretty much walked out of my life. If I'm fortunate enough, and she wants to meet up for coffee or something, I may just wrap my arms around that woman on sight and never let her go.

But, on the other hand, you could have me any damn time you ever wanted. :)

[GOPisEvil]

25. Are you writing my life story??

:(

[Wetzelbill]

27. Touche'

:(

[SarahB]

26. Yes.

It was very hard at the time. Ultimately, in hindsight, I think it was more than just timing. I don't think it was meant to be. For me, I think I just kept seeing what I wanted to see to have something to hold onto during a very difficult time. He was a good man though. Bad timing, not in the cards, whatever.

I'm sorry. I do now how much those feelings hurt. :hug:

[Taverner]

28. Yes - Ive been there (please read)

My advice? Move on. Move past it. Honestly, there is nothing you can do.

The sooner you can eliminate words like "regret" and "guilt" and "could have" from your vocabulary, the better.

I know that's easier said than done, but I've been there and the longer you dwell on it, the more it will consume you.

Don't give that misery any more power.

[Dastard Stepchild]

29. Ugh....

Can't count the number of times my life has been privy to this reality.

:hug:

[skygazer]

30. Yeah, I know that story

It sucks. Sorry... :hug:

[ladeuxiemevoiture]

31. Yeah, it happens. Timing is an important part of romance, no question.

But it's beyond your control. You have to just go with it, even though it's frustrating. And try and think in these terms - when the timing is better and you've both had time to ruminate about a relationship, maybe you'll know more than ever it's right.

You know, this has come up a lot in my life - people drifting in, out, and then suddenly, way out of the blue, back in. And I'm just like, you can never predict when things will happen just right. Hope that helps and makes sense.
