Does anybody have any regrets about having ignored someone back when you naively thought you were too good for her (or him) and now you realize she (or he) was probably one of the best people you could have ever been with ?

I knew someone a long time ago who I believed was interested in me, but I "just wasn't in to her" because I thought she was too nerdy and wasn't attractive enough. I didn't actively reject her because she never actually "came on" to me, but I think she did give me plenty of hints, and I think I was pretty aware of it, but I completely ignored her. Now, I realize she was so similar to me, and had such similar interests, that she was nearly perfect for me, and plenty attractive enough. And I've realized that "nerdy" women are the best.

There was another person around the same time that I was very attracted to, and she seemed to give me a few hints that she liked me. But I was too scared of being rejected so I never asked her out or anything like that. I probably had no chance though and she was probably just being nice to me because she felt sorry for me for being so ugly and useless.

But the first one I talked about I'm almost completely sure that she really liked me.

Since then, I've had no realistic chances, and believe I never will again.

I deeply regret having ignored the one and having been to scared to even try to be with the other.

Oh well.

Anybody else have similar experiences, especially those who now feel hopeless about finding a relationship ?

There is one that I remember from when I was a little kid. She made it clear that she has the hots for me. I kinda ignored her because I was getting "teased" by another girl. (I was a one lady boy) I wish I would have been more responsive, then if she stayed and we were still around by high school, who knows?

She was actually very cute.

No. Never thought to ignore anyone because I thought I was better.

Sounds like the only regret is you wound up empty handed.

No, not for the reason above, but I've regretted ignoring someone for other reasons.

No, but I have been on the other end of that 2 or 3 times where I was ignored and then they came back a lot later like "omg what was I thinking, take me now please?" (it's always too late by then).
