We hear about people remembering their exes, and fondly so (if we are talking about healthy relationships that ended on a good note). On one hand, an ex is someone you have a series of memories to remember. But I wonder how people remember the person they almost dated but didn’t end up dating. A person you felt a certain chemistry and/or emotional connection with. I’m especially interested in the perspective of the person who changed their mind (for whatever reason they weren’t ready) about dating, ofc case being they ended in mutual respect when rejecting the other person. Ofc other perspectives, like the person who eventually got rejected, or people who were in situations where there was a mutual understanding it wouldn’t work out for various other external factors would be good to here too. Do you guys ever remember the person you almost dated, even after a long time, and if so how? Like is there a fondness or regard for such a person as there is for an ex?
