		<description>I think your intuitions are right about not asking her out. If she would go out with you the shirtless guy, what is it to say she wouldn&#039;t go with the next 10 shirtless guy. If she has no loyalty to her soon to be husband, she would have no loyalty to the next guy. 
You are wise for walking away.
Thanks for sharing.

		<description>Nice story. 
It&#039;s probably best that you didn&#039;t do anything about it. But you always wonder about those chances you didn&#039;t take...

		<description>I don&#039;t think what-ifs are at all fun to ponder.  In fact, I find them to be excruciating, having the effect of undermining self confidence.  I choose not to participate in them for that reason.

My dad taught me at a young age that it&#039;s called &quot;shuffling the if-deck&quot; and it&#039;s worth exactly nothing.  You know... unless you are practicing to be a card dealer or something.  ;)

Yes, you could argue that &quot;the unexamined life is not worth living&quot; and say that this is an example of just that.  Or you could argue that it&#039;s good to question oneself on a regular basis, thereby continually pushing oneself to improve.  

But I say that examining life is something that should be more in kind with looking over and seeing.  Observing so that you can glean the fulness of your experiences. But observing things that are real and not spinning your wheels on what could have been.  And I think much better of confirming oneself rather than continually questioning oneself, as it leads to more purposeful thoughts and actions.

		<description>If she had a single thought about going out with you, she must have not been too &quot;into&quot; her fiance. I think you did the right thing, she probably would have ended up doing the same thing to you! WOMEN! Can&#039;t live with&#039;em, can&#039;t live without&#039;em. hehe</description>

		<description>Sorry, my thumb slipped, hence the one-word response. You definitely did the right thing to disengage. And to stay disengaged. You were right to be chary of someone who seemed to be leaving the door half-open while suggesting that it was all but closed!
