Ever look back at something or someone that you initially viewed as a missed opportunity but then realized you were better off without it?
I was casually dating this one guy for several months and was kind of hoping it would turn into something more serious but neither of us really made that commitment and moved on. We're still on good terms, and I'm much happier with my current situation than I was in weird relationship limbo with this previous guy but looking back I'm really glad that situation didn't pan out. We're still on good terms with each other but he's been posting more and more obnoxious political diatribe through his facebook. Other issues, such as frequently being ill and generally passive aggressive behavior makes me glad that I didn't get too deep into that.
Anyone else look back on things and are relieved things didn't work out how you initially wanted them to?

There are times when I dwell on some girl who I "dated" four years ago and wish that I put more time and effort into it than I actually did, but at the same time, I think to myself that we could not have been more wrong for each other and that we were totally different from each other.
After we "dated," I started to see a different side of her that became a little bitchy and she criticized personal tastes of mine, like comics, video games, and animated shows, and claimed that they were "child-like." I sometimes think to myself that if I did put more effort into it, it still probably would not have lasted a long time. Maybe a lot longer than the two weeks we "dated," but it wouldn't have gone anyway.
We were totally different from one another and people may say "opposites attract," but in a lot of cases, we didn't exactly attract. She was more into me than I was into her, but even then, it would not have worked if I had returned the favor.
