Opportunities fly by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone.
~Jerome K. Jerome
The follies which a man regrets most in his life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.
~Helen Rowland
Ah, the missed chance. Today, I decided that there was a young lady who I going to pursue. However, she was not available this evening to talk to, and I do not know if I will have the guts to try again. This is a common theme. There was someone I was making progress with in a chat room, but due to scheduling problems and me not trying hard enough to work through those problems, I may have missed my chance there. There is someone else, who I thought a connection was being established, but due to my lack of gumption and timing, I may have missed there also.As always, this is a common theme in my life. I do not take the chance to ask someone out. I remember a conversation that I had back in another life time know as "High School"
Friend: Ask her out!!! The worse that can happen is that she will say no
D.A.D. : No, the worse thing that can happen is that she is so traumatized my me asking her out, that she will join a Femi-Nazi terrorist organization who manages to plot the over throw of our known government. The world will fight back against her ideals, and a thermo nuclear holocaust will happen. THAT is the worst thing that can happen.
