).I would definately change the way I handled a mutual crush in 1999/2000/01. It was my mates sister, and I have never felt like that about anyone. I knew she liked me, but as she was a bit younger (still legal, though) I bided my time.
How I wish I hadn't.
I thought I had all the time in the world. I was wrong.
You see, me and her brother were virtually best mates, and we were both singers, and eventually went into business together singing on the circuit in 2001. (We met at a County Performers rehearsal in 1998). I met his sister shortly after at the first show, and I tell you something - it was unreal. You know - when you fall for someone without a word being uttered.
Anyway, I got on really well with the entire family, and due to the fact me and her bro sang together, when I went to their house to practice, I eventually started to stay over. In his sisters bed. (Sadly without her in it.)
This went on for about a year, and I was growing more and more attached, as was she. (Her Mum wanted us to get married - despite the fact we never even kissed!)
The problems started when her Dad wanted to dictate everything in mine and her brothers act. He was a complete tw*t.
In a nutshell, his dad fell out with me due to his own mistake, and he managed to turn her and her bro against me. So from a situation where I was completely in love and waiting for the right moment, I was left with sod all.
The one saving grace is that through a mutual friend I have heard that her mum still thinks the world of me. (She saw her husband for the bully he was/is.)
If I could change it, I'd not go into business with her bro, as this was when the problems started. I'd have asked her out in the early days, and would have been happy to spend my life with her.
It wasn't to be.
What would you lot change about your past love lives? One situation, one comment, one look.
What would it be?
