Just discovered my biggest missed opportunity
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2026 7:10 pm
While I’ve had some great experiences,
My biggest missed opportunity was probably my Junior and Senior year of Highschool.
I didn’t have a car yet, and the bus actually took longer to get home than walking, so, that’s what I did.
On the street that intersected with mine, one of the elementary/middle school busses dropped off a couple kids right around the time I got there by walking.
The group consisted of 2 girls and one boy.
Over the course of these ‘path crossings’, light conversation would strike up.
The girls were clearly flirting, and one of them, a brunette was really cute!
Occasionally, she’d be there alone, or with the other *less cute girl.
They asked me several times to come play, but I turned them down each time, as I was a ‘highschool guy’.
The missed opportunities I’m referring to were on 2 separate occasions when the girls invited me to play truth or dare.
I have no idea why I turned them down (given my other experiences playing T or D).
I’ve often fantasized about what experiences I could have had with them.
I only lived a street away, and we ended up sledding together several times both before and after these T or D invites started.
Ugh!
If only I could have played T or D with them just once!
