However perfect or imperfect your lives are, dear Pandas, there’s one thing that unites us—regrets. These come in as many flavors as Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, but probably the nastiest of all are regrets related to missed relationship opportunities. It’s sad and hilarious at the same time to realize how many times people missed out on love and passionate kisses because they naively misread the situation.

New York-based comedian David Drake shared how he completely didn’t get the very obvious hint back in a high school sleepover that the girl he liked was trying to seduce him by tickling him. He only realized the truth later and keeps thinking about the lost opportunity. His Twitter followers then shared their own similar experiences, and the combined awkwardness and secondhand embarrassment are so big, you might just say ‘oh no, no, no, no, no, no no!’ aloud, Pandas.

When you’re done with this list, Bored Panda has another post about obvious hints that people failed to notice right here.

Comedian David’s post got more than 95.4k likes and was retweeted several thousand times. But the biggest victory wasn’t the impressive numbers. No. The victory was getting people to open up about the moments of regret that still haunt them to this very day. And let’s not forget the comedy gold hidden between the lines of these tweets.

The thread is perfect proof that far more people have the types of regrets that sometimes keep us awake at night than you’d think.

Flirting with someone is one thing, but it’s also important to consider where the relationship might go afterward. Previously, Bored Panda spoke with dating and relationship expert Dan Bacon about how to tell if the person you met is someone that you would like to marry.

“When you meet your wife, you know you want to be with her and only her. There’s no question in your mind about that. However, that doesn’t mean that you know you want to marry her from day one though,” he explained to us.

“You know you are ready to marry a woman if you have never thought of breaking up with her for real. I say ‘for real’ because sometimes a couple will have fights in the early days and threaten a breakup, or temporarily think about breaking up in the heat of the moment, but then change their mind,” the expert noted.

“It’s only a problem if a guy secretly wishes he had a different woman, regularly imagines breaking up with his girlfriend and falling in a love with a new woman, or worries that his girlfriend probably isn’t the right woman for him,” Dan told Bored Panda.

“In cases like those, she’s not the one for him and he will almost certainly not be willing to do what it takes to make the marriage work in the long run, which will result in cheating or a divorce at some point.”

For the dating expert, marriage means finding the right person to be with for life. He also shared with us that it’s vital not to give in to peer pressure.

“If you’re going to get married, it has to be with the right girl. You shouldn’t ever marry just for the sake of it, to impress family or friends, or to do what others are doing,” he warned.

“A family member of mine got married because his friends were all getting married, so he followed along with their lead. He then ended up going through a painful divorce 5 years into his marriage after having two children. He and his ex-wife still aren’t on good terms to this day because she is bitter about what happened.”
