We all look back and wonder how our lives would have been if we would have done something different. Every girl has had the experience with the guy who was a jerk, with the nice guy, but he just wasn’t for you, and the guy who you don't really know why you dated, but it happened, and no one is judging! Then there is the one who slipped through our fingers. We may kick ourselves and think, "How could we ever let him go? Should I have done something different? Did I lose something that I cannot get back?" The answer is no. In the end, everything will work itself out and you will not even remember "what’s his face."

Let’s look back to our first crushes, I’m sure we can all agree that we would not want to be with the boy who threw a pencil at us. The guys before did not work out for a reason. It’s OK to be confused and question why at the time. But you will know when you meet the right one because he will put the others to shame. It’s also possible that if you meet the one too soon, it would not be right one. Our experiences shape us into who we are. We do not have the same perspectives as we did five years ago or even a year ago. Maturity and relationships definitely correlate with one another. Some people just are not ready when others are. Especially guys. We all know girls mature faster than boys -- it is just science. There is a reason women tend to go for older guys and guys go for younger women. The maturity rate is generally the same.

There are times where we wanted something so bad, but it just did not work out. Then we sit there crushed and don’t always understand why things happen. Just because something does not make sense at the time, does not mean that it will not with time. Sometimes it is better that the thing we wanted the most fell through because something else happened. Life has a way of working itself out for the better. Honestly, when you are going through a break-up and your friend is giving you advice saying that something better will come along...listen to them because, it is true! Not everyone who enters your life is meant to stay there. Sometimes they were in your life as a lesson to be learned. And sometimes they were meant to learn something from you! Do not feel discouraged by the one who got away because there will be others who you have not met yet that will change your life for the better!
