Someday I'll learn...
Oh, I did it again. I was. well, am, interested in someone, but she was seeing someone else. I don't play that game, so I kept back. Then they broke up and she didn't seem interested in any relationship at the time, and there is distance and that relationship was an LDR and she seemed to be against every doing an LDR again. So I convinced myself that there was no point in saying anything, and she probably wouldn't be interested anyway, etc, etc. And I like her and didn't want to risk our friendship on a pointless play for something more.

So she meets someone else, another LDR, and she's seems happy. We were chatting and I made a crack about being jealous - which I am. Then I had to explain why - long story short, I should've said something when I had the chance, she wouldn't have said no.

I really have to stop doing that. Really.

I am: depressed depressed

You think I'd've learned this lesson by now. This is hardly the first time I either missed completely that someone was interested in me, or that I convinced myself that they weren't and there was no point in getting rejected and/or risking what we did have - only to find out, too late, that I should've said something.

It is a bad habit that I always notice too late.

I've seen unwanted approaches trash friendships. Some people don't cope well knowing that their 'friend' is romantically interested in them. I've had it make friendships awkward in the past myself. So sometimes I just convince myself they're not interested anyway, so no point in risking anything.

you can always say, "Well, if you're interested, so am I." It worked on me once. :-)

Yeah, I could've said a lot of things - I didn't. My fault completely for blowing the chance when I had it. I'm just kicking myself. I find it very easy to convince myself that no one could possibly be interested in me.

Yep. One thing I finally learnt in my 30s is ALWAYS say when I'm interested, even if nothing is on the cards.

It took a considerable mess for me to tell wedgex where I was at wrt interest in him.

I do not regret it. I also, though, don't expect to ever be in that sort of a considerable mess of attraction and other major life issues again.

Plus, nothing is certain in this life anyhow, so who knows where all concerned will end up. Not wishing ill on the lady in question or her current SO, just making the general observation about the chaos factor. :)

Yeah, I'm sure I do too. Not rocket science there.

I agree with artemisia, however I do see where you're comin from, and I've been in your situation myself, and it really sucks, but sometimes I guess you just have to take the risk of losing a little before losing it all.

I make no promises that this journal will be timely and/or interesting - it is just what spills out of my brain. If you're someone you think I should 'friend', tell me who you are. Sometimes I can't tell by checking LJs of people who friend me. :-)
