Regrets and Missed Opportunities

Hey... As I was exiting the TTC sardine can this bright and fresh morning, a thought popped into my head about how many things I've regretted not doing... then I remembered about this really nice guy I ran into at the guv recently.
When we were just leaving scumfrog he just up and intro'd himself. He said he's been here for like a yr and half and was going back home to the USA in 4 mths. I was so caught up in leaving for home that I totally bailed on extending a big welcome (and I could tell he wanted to hookup as friends). Now I regret not extending a big TOTA welcome. Wow... I really screwed that up...I cuda made his last 4 mths a memorable party(only) time in our big TO.

So I was wondering...have any of you TA's gone thru this too? How about sharing some stories here.
BTW...Missed romantic encounters count too

I had one big regret, but as it turns out, for certain things, it's not too late to change things around...
I used to like a guy in my high school but i left in gr 10 without ever hooking up with him. Turns out 7 years later we hooked up after all, and now we've been together for 2 years hehe
Hmmmm what else... I regret not having taken better subjects in my A-Level, i'm screwed now because of that.
I regret not having kept an eye on my dog before she got taken
I regret going out with a bunch of losers till i met my bf (haahahahaha who doesn't tho??)
I don't regret not having a lot of girl friends though. That's one thing my mother always said i'd regret but i still don't. Guys are so much easier to get along with! (minus some rare girls who are totally cool)

ROBBIE WILLIAMS - NO REGRETS

Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged

I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

*CHORUS*

No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now/ they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother

I don't want to hate but that's
All you left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live

*CHORUS*

No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now/ they only hurt
(we've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(you're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast

No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets/ they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Everytime you looked at me and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often i sit down and think of you
For a while
Then it passes my by and i think of
Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is
Officially dead

Just think about that one!

I agree with you. I feel like I can trust guys more, and I feel more comfortable with them. Alot of girls I know have back stabbed me, or they are just too much drama for me to handle.

That may be, but guys aren't as pretty.

somone once told me it's better to regret the things you have done, than those you haven't...and convinced me...

but the same person managed to prove that that isn't always the case....

Too many
On the brighter side, you learn from your mistakes and life goes on

Regret is the worst feeling in the world.

The only way to avoid feeling it is to treat everyday like a fresh canvas and learn from mistakes.

Most regrets seem to be caused by not having the guts to action things your mind is telling you to do, or being forced by someone else to not do the things you really want to do, and the second is usually a sub-genre of the first.

Regrets...ah....

Geez...where to start? lol

I think its because of regret that led me to my now wife (Cheryl); now let me explain...
There were a few girls that I liked in highschool but never thought I'd ever have a chance with, because of those regrets I try never to turn down the spontaneity of the moment (after a quick judgement call of course, that being a question of, "Will someone die? No? Then what's the problem?"
I met Cheryl at work one summer and I walked right up and introduced myself. Then a couple days later I see her at the local pub and I suggest that we go out to Toronto sometime to a club.
Those two small actions alone have forever changed my life (for good of course!).
It's hard sometimes because I always felt like I'm fighting my Taurusean , stick-in-mud, stay-at-home attitude.
Even now I stuggle with "Should-I-go-to-the-gymitis" but I know that when I do go, it was all worth it in the end.
Don't turn 80 looking back on your life and be caught eating at a banquet of your own regrets!

I regret nothing, I can truly say that now that i've grown up a little. Every experience good or bad has shaped me in some positive way.

Whoever said you should regret the things you do more than the things you don't, it's exactly the other way around!! You'll ALWAYS find yourself regretting the things you *didn't* do, never the things you did, at least in the long term...

I was once given a bit of wisdom on one of my jobs on the subject of consulting with the manager: "It's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission". You can apply that to almost everything in life - if you just wait for an opportunity, it may never come, but if you make a complete ass of yourself, you can always apologize.

Really cool song by New Order called "Regret"

Maybe I�ve forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I�ve ever known
It�s nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It�s the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn�t even trust you
I�ve not got much to give
We�re dealing in the limits
And we don�t know who with
You may think that I�m out of hand
That I�m naive, I�ll understand
On this occasion, it�s not true
Look at me, I�m not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that�s what they all say
Just before they fall apart
