This happens to me because I really don't date a lot...so with fewer dudes in my history, some of them pop up in my head from time to time...Sucks that most of them became past tense due to their actions, not mine, yet I still keep thinking about the positives they offered. Crazy how the memory can be so selective.
However, I wouldn't call them "the ones that got away" since they were wack ultimately. I'd only put that title on quality dudes that I messed up with by being too picky or juggling too many other guys at the same time, not the other way around.
