How's this: I used to date a girl some years back. She was my brother's wife's sister. She looked a lot like a combination of Giada and Susan Lucci (All My Children).
My brother asked my why I stopped seeing her, and I told him the truth: I was bowing out gracefully because she was dating me "on the rebound" and was looking for a real serious relationship.
Flash forward 20 years, and I see her and her husband and 3 kids at family functions, and I kick myself for not taking the chance back then. The years have been VERY good to her.
(OK, I'm done crying in my beer over lost loves.)
