Foo - Ooooh boy.

Has someone that was special from your past (but you've moved on) ever come knocking at your door saying..."I miss you. Do you ever think of me?"


I swear my head is going to explode.

i just kill them and hide the bodies when i'm done.

that avoids all those little problems.

I always fear that former "someone special" knocking at my door saying..."Andrew...meet your son..."

Nope, but I've been the guy knocking at the door. I was looking for closure - I never got it. No matter what I did, I could not get this gal to tell me how she felt about me; the best she could do was "I think we should be friends." I would have preferred a "F**K OFF! and leave me alone!" It would have been honest and was how she truly felt. I eventully learned (especialy when dealing with women) that actions speak louder than words. After six counseling visits and a year of weekly support group meetings, I was able to move on. That was 15 years ago. My advice would be to be HONEST. Don't be mean, but be direct and say what needs to be said. This person likely has unresolved issues that need to be dealt with (by them, not you) so the sooner you tell them directly that they are a part of your PAST and you have moved on, the easier for everyone envolved.

WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES - DOOBIE BROTHERS
Kenny Loggins / Micheal McDonald

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...

i just deflate 'em and fold 'em up when i'm done.

that avoids all those little problems.

I'm always a little afraid that someone from my past is going to try to get me on the Jerry Springer show! I used to know some very strange people!http://www.smilieland.com/graphics/0005.gif

I thought you moved. How did they find you?

I think they did a Google Search

Once I had someone trying to recandle whatever it is that we had, that was more then annoying when I tried saying "it's in the past" and he continued trying. I found that there is no reasonning with people sometimes and the best way to deal with him was to tell him off and never talk to him again. You cant say to people who hope for more that you can stay friends, it never works. They stay friends in the attempt of making you change your mind.

Funny you mention that......

A person did last year. We emailed a few times, but nothing came of it. Then last weekend I saw her in public (she had just moved back area) by accident. I decided to blow her off, so I pretended not to see her.

You don't even wanna know. :roflmao:

I hope not.

yep, several times... one said he had to find me... through a paid service of some sort....

I've never regreted letting anyone go :)

Usually the same ol' stuff is still there

have also bumped into folks who had snubbed me in school... ha ha - no thanks

ya snooze, ya lose baby ;)

Actually, I was the person from the past. Now I'm not talkin' just a bit in the past. We were best friends from kindergarten to third grade. Her family moved to New England and we eventually lost touch. When I came back from a tour in Korea, a mutual friend of our families told me where she was in grad school and that she wasn't married. We talked on the phone a few times, then I drove 25 hours to see her a few months later.

Now we've been married for almost five years and have just had a little boy!:D

Hmmm.....Food for thought, Blondie. Thanks. You're a smart cookie indeed! :)

My best friend from elementary school, the very guy who got me into bikes, more or less bumped into me on the introductions forum. His username is Miataspeed. He made one post, I responded and told him who I was, and he never returned to bikeforums, so I'm guessing for some strange reason he no longer wants anything to do with me. I guess thats kind of the opposite of what you were getting at.

Dang Michigander, what did you do to the poor guy?

phoey.

I recently contacted a woman I was involved with about 20 years ago in college. At the time we were both pretty heavy partiers and our relationship suffered because of it. Things ended on a very sour note and I have always regretted it. I found her with the help of Google and decided to email her and apologize. She replied back with a very kind message that brought tears to my eyes. We have both grown into very different people and I was not trying to re-kindle anything, but contacting her after all this time was one of the best decisions I think I've ever made.

It's especially fun when they do it at your place of work. Your new place of work. In a city they had no good reason for knowing you moved to.



I swear my head is going to explode.

I hope at least it's a good to see them again? Explode in a 'oh, wow, it's really awesome to see you again'?

Since ive started riding more, and getting fitter, my ex is starting to notice. Every time she sees me she waves. Before she wouldnt even notice me!

I am telling you, its the cyclist's legs. ;)

Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please
promise me
you'll try.

FIRMIN
Andre,
this is doing nothing for my nerves.

ANDRE
Don't fret, Firmin.

CHRISTINE
When you
find
that, once
again, you long
to take your
heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a
moment,
spare a thought
for me

(Transformation to the Gala. CHRISTINE is
revealed in
full costume)


We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember
stop and think
of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've
shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me,
think
of me waking,
silent and
resigned.

Imagine
me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days
look back
on all those
times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't
think
of you . .

(Applause, bravos. Prominent
among the bravos, those
of the young RAOUL in the
MANAGERS' box)

RAOUL
Can it be?
Can it
be Christine?

Bravo!

(he raises his
opera-glasses)

What a change!
You're
really
not a bit
the gawkish girl
that once you
were...

(lowering his opera-glasses)

She
may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her...

CHRISTINE
We never said
our
love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea
-
but please
promise me,
that sometimes
you
will think of me!

KrisPistofferson...I never would have pegged you for a showtune lovin' softee :)

I take back the softee part. Please don't hurt me.

Never happened to me. By the time they're finished with me they'd prefer not to see me again! :lol:

There was a girl I dated (just went to the movies and such).. in HS who eventually moved back to the town I was living in back in the days... we hooked up and KABOOM !!

Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few weeks and then it was over for good ..

:) Perhaps the reason I'm so misanthropic is I spent my entire career at public school with everyone assuming I was gay. Listening to soundtracks like Les Miserables and Phantom in my spare time had a great deal to do with that. Wish I was gay, I'd probably be much happier, or maybe it's just that southern girls...leave much to be desired.

Has someone that was special from your past (but you've moved on) ever come knocking at your door saying..."I miss you. Do you ever think of me?"

Yea. But it was just my pimp wanting to know if I wanted to get back into "the business." He said little pretty boys, like me don't grow on trees.
:p :p

Dang Michigander, what did you do to the poor guy?

Nothing at all. I have no idea why he doesn't want anything to do with me. Life is to short to worry about it, thats why I have other friends.

I hope at least it's a good to see them again? Explode in a 'oh, wow, it's really awesome to see you again'?


Explode in confusion as to why all of a sudden he tells me this. When I know for a fact that he has a girl that he is getting close to. That he denies having an interest in or even talking to. ;) I know these things. I find out. :D

..."I miss you. Do you ever think of me?" = stalker :eek: :eek:

My limited experience with women has taught me that they give you a window of oppurtunity to act. If you like what you see you better jump in the garden and cultivate it. If you don't know/care how to keep the delicate flowers healthy and they die, you have passed the point of no return. Because the 2nd encounter could never achieve the purity of the original. And purity of heart is crucial in envisioning a indefinite relationship.

I'm sorry, I just woke up...was I talking in my sleep? :rolleyes:

Do you like him? Do you want to talk to him? If the answers are no, just tell him and ignore his attempts if you have no interest.

I got %80! Should I take down my Cher posters?

Heh, heh... you beat me! :roflmao:

I have an extra Judy Garland/Lize Minelli poster for you. :)

But I reccomend you wait until Oct 11

Sounds like a wishy-washy tool who has no problems with jerking around people he "cares" for...

Georgiaboy, you make so much sense when you are sleeping.....

wow.

I just hope that he is successful with his new friend. This being the person that he swore he has absolutely no interest in. The woman is the one telling me about their relationship. Ha ha. And he knows I don't do liars. Now I know I never really meant anything to him. I wonder if she knows he is contacting me? I'm staying out of THAT one...

I am so lucky to be where I'm standing now.........:D ;)

Sounds like you have no interest in him...so no worries. He will figure it out.

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Thanks, the part where I said "stalker" was said tongue in cheek. Actually, I thought of the move "Something About Mary" where the Ben Stiller character was trying to reunite with his prom date and his viewing Mary in the here and now despite not seeing her for a long time was characterized as "stalker" activity by the Matt Dillon character who was a PI.

I guess the topper was when he said the best decision he ever made was when he decided it wasn't worth it anymore and let it go. So I did so too out of respect for him.

And I gained a lot from that action .........

So, according to you, it is all over. Let him know this and problem solved.
