I was a bit nervous so didn't take anything past kissing but this is one of those things that looking back I'm sure she would have enjoyed a full on romp that day. I know this sounds kinda trivial but it's always bugged me that I didn't know what I had when I had it.

Same thing with selling my Italian delivery '73 911T about 10 years ago. Dumb dumb dumb.....I would like a do-over, please.....
I have several times when I was younger that there were women sending signs that I didn't see/realize until many, many years later. I wouldn't mind being able to revisit those situations with a little more awareness. Honestly, I'm still clueless when it comes to women.

I think there's only one other thing that I'd like to do-over and that's studying for one particular test. I really didn't study much for it, and just missed passing it. I have still done well, but think that passing that test would have likely made some things better in the past 20 years.

Of course, even if it was possible, going back and changing one decision or event in the past actually could lead to bad changes in the future. For instance, I didn't really know what I wanted to do, so I went to college. I didn't have the drive or interest to finish and I didn't. Would getting a degree have made my life more profitable sooner? Maybe/probably. Would I be making more than I am now? I don't think that's a certainty. Would my life have been very different and would I be happier? I think there's a very good chance that I may not be any happier and maybe less happy than I am now. I would have missed a lot of experiences and would probably be in a VERY different place than I am now. I might have been happier, but then I'm pretty happy, so I think there's a high possibility that I wouldn't be as happy.
