I wonder about the roots of that turn of phrase.

And metaphors aren't meant to be taken literally, and like old sayings, some are good and some not so good (see favourite sayings poll) :)

What is preventing me from pursuing her ? She makes me crazy: Was insane over her in 1992 and still would be... I don't know if it's like this for everyone, but for me, if something comes-up in life that's more important than God, I don't have it for very long.

Hello Jac,
That is a good question. According to the Free dictionary, it is an idiom that has its base in the practice of fishing (i.e. "the big fish that got away, especially as the subject of a fisherman's story. The one that got away is always bigger than the one that got caught").

Hello CuddlingSoul,
Thanks for sharing your experience. May you find the one who does not drive you crazy to the point of forgetting God! To be frank, that person is probably not the one for you.

Hi Ludde55,
That is beautifully said! It must sound even more poetic in Swedish.

Oh dear, I wish I hadn't asked.
Thanks for the info, though. Much appreciated.

I would say the one who got away is usually your first love. Though someone might have loved you, the only ones that matters are the ones you loved....and as it has being said: your first love is usually the one in which you fell because that is when you learn that love is more than just a crazy feeling.

I'll always live and miss him, he's married to someone else now. I pursued him for months, after we broke up. Till the day I heard they were together.

There were actually 2 of them ; my 1st and 2nd love.
1st love, he found me through a mutual friend after 17 years.
2nd love found me on FB after 14 years.
Met both of them for coffee ( separately, of course! ). Both were married and divorced with kids.
Both wanted to rekindle the romance where we left off but I hesitated.
For me, the feelings are not the same anymore....

No, I was with good guys in the past and I always worked on the relationships when I was in them. When it ended, there simply wasn't anything to hold on to.
I wish them well and wouldn't want to rekindle anything. There have been some "infatuations", but none of them where I do regret not happening more.

Why is there no choice for can't find her or that was more than half a century ago and she is probably no longer that person, even if still alive?

Yes. There is one girl(or maybe ten girls)who taunt me from the shadows of my past.

If you had a romantic relationship with someone (or any other kind, for that matter) and its is no longer, there is a reason its in the past.
If they were meant to be in your present and your future, they would be.
Let sleeping dogs lie, as they say.
There are relationships I would have preferred to have worked out better than they did but they didn't and there's a reason for that. I love the romantic notion of going back and it all working out beautifully but that's the movies.
No, I wouldn't go back.....

I've never been concerned about the one who got away.Obviously if it would have been met to be obviously it would have happened.

Not a single one. All the relationships I've had ended because they had run their course or they were not right. Would never want to return to any of them.

No because surely if you feel that strongly about someone being sfor o special you have too fight for them.I am in this situation now,no one else is involved however i cant be with them until next year.The connection we have is so strong and deep no matter how much this situation hurts i have to trust and find the strength that the end result will be worth the pain.

The article, written by Amanda Crum, read as follows:
…Lori Loughlin and John Stamos were an onscreen couple for many years while working on Full House, but both claim they never got together in real life beyond a date or two in their younger days. And it wasn’t for lack of trying; Stamos has called Loughlin “the one that got away”, and the actress–who is now happily married–says it came down to timing.
“I was married at the time I was doing the show to my first husband,” Loughlin said earlier this year. “Literally when I was getting divorced, he met Rebecca .”
Stamos has acknowledged that she is a happily married woman now, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about what might have been.
“We were friends, we were on the soaps together and we actually did date,” Stamos said. “We went on a date to Disneyland before, you know, before we were both married. In real life, when we were 18, 19 years old. We did have some off timing, but no disrespect to her family and her husband now, I would say that she could be the one that got away.” …
