    I'll bite,

    I once met a girl and we hit it off extremely well. A few hours into the night I figure out she's an ex of a friend.
    There is still interest but I slow down the progress drastically (young and stupid).
    We carry on chatting for a few weeks, some mild flirting but I still have the stupid internal conflict.
    Needless to say I'm eventually friend zoned. We remain friends for a few years, she's moved on, I'm still in carrying a flame.
    Took a bit to pull out of that unhealthy situation. Still get the occasional "what if...", though less and less as the years go by.

    As the song goes, regrets I’ve had a few.

    Someone you reflect in hindsight you should have married. Sweet, gorgeous and cared for you but were too busy.

    Meeting/invitations for career/business you never accepted.

    Now I prefer to look under the stone than miss the opportunity.

    Better to try and not regret on what could have been.
