Just wondering.
I'd (gently and tactfully) tell her something like that I was very flattered/honored/touched by her comments, but that I really need more than that (i.e., more than just physical intimacy alone), to be feel happy and loved romantically by someone. It's easy for someone to give their physical love consentingly, but I want more...I want their full heart, first...and way, way before things were to get physical...

I think it's just one of those "what if" things where you imagine that something would've been so great when in reality it probably wouldn't have been.
"Reality is what you make it; and how you take it."

...it's not a fantasy.

The biggest regret of her life? She is flattering you for something she wants-not just sex.

What I would say if a woman said that to me?

THIS.

"Oh well, too bad for you honey. You can keep on regretting it for the rest of your life. Why should I give you a taste of what you initially didn't want?"

"Now I'm good enough for you?"


I've actually had a couple of ladies treat me this way, while I was at university to be specific. I was never, ever good enough for them when I asked them out on dates.

Now, 10, 15, or whatever plus years later, I've kept my body in shape, look better than I did back then and the same ladies want to get with me now LOL?

Just not happening on my part. They can fantasize and regret all they want.

This wasn't the case. I didn't reject him. We dated for a short time, he ended things with me, and then he moved away.

No, and don't call me Shirley.
