Did They Get Away?
It's up for debate whether people get away or if they're just not meant to be in our lives. Some people believe that everything happens for a reason and that every relationship we have is meant to happen. Other people believe that sometimes we make the wrong decisions and that's why some relationships don't happen. These people believe that another decision can be made and we can move forward with that relationship that didn't happen as soon as we want it to. There are some people who believe that the universe brings the people into our lives who were meant to be involved with, and we don't always get to decide.
What if we do? What if we made a mistake by not saying or doing the right things and we have the opportunity to make up for it by starting a relationship later than we would have liked to? Maybe that relationship got away from you, but it doesn't have to be that way forever. Maybe when you realize you made a mistake it's not too late. What would you do to take a chance to find out? If you're ready to move forward with pursuing an experience with the one who got away, keep reading because we have answers, tips, and hope.

How to Tell if Love is Possible
Just because you like somebody doesn't mean they belong to you, or will. There have to be signs that love is possible. When you met before they got away, if your personalities meshed and you clicked, that's a sign love is possible. If something was different about your lives that kept you apart, and that's changed, you might be able to come together now. If something's brought you back together, that might be a sign that it's time, especially if it just feels right.
You Clicked
There's no telling how many people you will meet in your life. If you meet a lot of people and one person really stands out to you, your personalities harmonize perfectly, and you hit it off the minute you met, you really clicked. There's a very strong chance for a meaningful relationship when you click with somebody. It's not every day you meet somebody who you align so closely with or who just immediately makes you feel comfortable. When you do, there's a strong chance that you will love each other deeply.
Your Lives Are Different Now
Maybe when you met the one who got away, things were different in both of your lives. Maybe your schedules kept you apart, but you have time for each other now. Maybe one or both of you was already involved with someone else, but you are both single now. Maybe one or both of you did not want a relationship, but now you both do. Just because you didn't have room in each other's lives before doesn't mean it will always be that way. If things have changed in such a way that it has dissolved any barriers that came between you, give it a try. Love might happen!

Something Brought You Back Together
Sometimes the universe brings people back together. When this happens, some people say it was meant to be. We never know how and why finding each other again after so many years happens, but when it does, sometimes that's a sign that you belong together. Strangers meet each other all the time, but if someone stood out to you before, and they were somehow brought back into your life and you still remember them, it might be a sign that it's meant to be, and love is possible.
It Feels Right
Sometimes you don't know why it seems like love is possible, but things just feel right. If your intuition tells you the things are right, don't question it, just go with it. Feeling like you truly belong with somebody can be the only indication that you need that love is possible. Sometimes love was always there and you just didn't know it yet. When things feel right, don't question it. Open yourself to the relationship. Always follow your personal intuition. Learn how to do that here: Being Intuitive-Trusting Your Inner Voice
How to Tell You’re Overthinking
To be fair, not every delightful person you meet is meant to be in your life. Maybe it's a coincidence that you ran into this person again, and you're overthinking it. If they never seemed interested before and they don't seem interested now, you're probably just overthinking it. If you literally have nothing in common with them, there's probably no chance for love. If they are happily settled down with someone else who they would lose by getting with you, leave it alone and let them be happy. If it doesn't feel right and it seems just like something that you've imagined, you're probably right, and you should trust yourself.
They Never Seemed Interested
The wonderful thing about true love, is people will let you know if they feel it for you. People will let you know if they want to be your lover, your friend, or spend any form of time with you at all. There's nothing wrong with taking the initiative and expressing interest. However, if they are not open to you, they're not interested. If they wanted to call you, they would. If they wanted to see you, they would. If they wanted you in their life, they would make it happen. It's not fun to be interested in someone who isn't interested in you, but when it happens, let it go.

You’re Nothing Alike
They say opposites attract, but if you are too different to reconcile a life, there's nothing wrong with admiring someone who you're not involved with. You have to have shared interests, experience things that you both like together, and basically share a life. If you're not able to do that, you're going to have problems and you can't have a relationship. Of course no two people are exactly alike, but you have to be somewhat similar if you want to have a harmonious life together. If you're not, let it go.
They Are Happily Involved
So, you found the person who got away, you go to see them, and they give you great news. They are settled down and happily involved, sharing a beautiful life with someone- someone who isn't you. It's not fun to be interested in someone who is already taken, but the last thing you want to do is try and remove that happiness from their life. If someone is happy, be happy for them. Don't do anything that could compromise their happiness, or they will always remember that you want them instead of caring about them and their feelings don't matter to you.

It Feels Like a Fantasy
Your heart will know if something feels realistic or like a fantasy. Daydreaming about what wonderful things could become reality could be fun sometimes, but there comes a time when you have to accept if something just doesn't feel like it's going to happen. If you daydream about the way somebody is, and when you spend time with them they don't act that way at all, it's not real. If you can't seem to get communication started, get them to spend time with you, or see eye to eye on things, there might be some good things about this person, but they're not the one for you. Let it go.
How to Reach Out
Deciding whether to reach out or not is the difficult part. If you believe the one who got away as meant to be in your life now, the easy work begins. First you have to open yourself to the possibility of true love with them. Next, find them. It might be easy or hard, but once you've found them, speak from the heart and tell them how you feel. Then be fair, let them choose whether to pursue something or not. Just be prepared that anything could happen. It's entirely possible that this person will be in your life for a very long time, and it's also entirely possible that after your initial contact, you will never see or hear from them again.
Open Yourself
Allowing yourself to be emotionally vulnerable to a new relationship without any indication that the other person will be receptive can be absolutely terrifying. On one hand it's exciting to be open to possibilities. On the other hand you also open yourself to possible rejection or serious heartbreak. However, if you want to know whether things will work out, being emotionally open to the possibility of a wonderful relationship is very important. When you're open and emotionally ready, move on to the next step. You might decide it’s better to stay single. Find out if the single life is for you here: Happy Singles - Is Being Single Better?
Find Them
Now it's time for some detective work. If you're lucky, it will be very easy to find the one who got away. You might not be that lucky. You might have to do a world wide search, recruit the help of friends, or even ask a psychic for some leads. It might take a long time, or if you're lucky, you can find them very quickly. Don't give up. If your heart tells you it's time to reach out for love, don't let anything make you give up. Go and find the one who got away.
Speak From the Heart
It can feel nerve wracking to express your feelings to someone, especially when you've not seen them for a long time, or you don't know if a relationship will work out. Do it anyway. Telling someone you remember them and you always wanted to get to know them better is a great way to start the conversation. They might ask some direct questions. They might want to know why you thought of them instead of someone else. They might want to know what kind of a relationship you want. They might even ask you how you found them. Just communicate openly. You found them, so you may as well be open with them. A healthy amount of humility can help you communicate too.

Let Them Choose
Once you open yourself, find them, and speak from the heart, you've done what you came to do. Now the ball is in their court. Just because you want a relationship or to see where things go with the one who got away doesn't mean they're going to feel the same way. It can be very disheartening, and downright embarrassing if you are interested and they are not. Even if you get your feelings hurt, never forget that relationships are two ways. If they don't want a relationship, they don't have to. If you had to reach out through e-mail, phone calls, or letters, take a step back and wait for them to contact you. That's okay if you want to follow up sometime down the road, but if they never respond, respect their choice.
Be Prepared
Emotionally, be prepared that anything could happen. This person might never respond, might respond by telling you to go away and leave them alone, or might not even remember you. Be prepared for the possibility of mutual attraction, but things just don't work out. Heartbreak or an ugly breakup could result from any new relationship. Be prepared for something to go wrong. Also be prepared for everything to go right. They might consider you the one who got away from them and they will be happy that you found them. Find out!
Some people walk into our lives, make an incredible impression, and then disappear. When somebody gets away from us like that, it never hurts to try to find them. If you decide that there is a possibility for a relationship, that means they're not the one that got away. They're the one that was meant to come into your life, and now it's time to go and find them.
