The one that got away...

The one that got away. We all know the feeling. We know who she was. You two were perfect for each other. But it just didn't work out. Maybe it wasn't the right time, etc.

Mine is a Cuban beauty from back in college. My God. She was everything I wanted in a woman. Smart, witty, loyal, honest, hard working, she worked and bought her own car, very fiery and fiesty :aplot:, she was a dancer too. Not a dancer dancer, like a strip club, but a regular girl who knew how to dance. As a result, her body was bangin. We had that spark, you know? It was almost overwhelming. I knew she could feel it too. I asked her one time what he favorite sports were. Her first response? "Tennis ;)"

She had these eyes that I could just look into all day. She was everything I could ever want. But she really wanted to be a Mom. She wanted to have a baby. But she was only 20! "Don't you want to live your 20's at all?" I asked. She explained to me how her mom had her young and thus the two were really close. She also had a younger sister she loved to take care of. As her younger sister got older, her yearning for a person to take care of heightened. Since her mom had her young, she didn't really think it was too far out of the ordinary :shrug:

Unfortunately that was a deal breaker and she broke up with me. I was also guilty of talking to other girls, true, so some of the blame is also mine, but still I never went far, I never even kissed another girl in the short time I was with her. It was a combination of things that led to the break up, really.

But she was perfect otherwise. I wish I had the balls to tell her I wanted to have kids with her but later on in life, but I was so heartbroken when she broke up with me that I could barely say a word before she walked away in tears. :awww:

She is the one that got away. I don't have many regrets in life, but this one. I do hope I see her again, to try to fix this all, but, you know, life goes on... :shrug:

Surely I am not the only one. Has anyone else lost that perfect someone?

Hello everyone. I haven't been on MTF in ages, but this thread was brought to my attention by someone I speak to off the forum. I'm glad to see Johnny posting in here and facing the music like a man, but I want to add just a little bit more information for the historical record. Most of it comes from either my own private messages with him or from the old Perv thread, which may be hard to find since it had to be broken up.

Yes, I knew about the infant son and girlfriend and the car accident, and the oddly convenient death. I don't remember his mother being killed though, and he's mentioned her about 100 times since then. At the time JG and I were exchanging private messages about sharing taped tennis matches or whatever and I felt so bad for him because he was constantly talking about how very broke he was. Imagine my surprise when he went to Europe about 6 months later on some school trip. It didn't add up, but I didn't really care because I didn't follow his posts or his life that closely. (Does any of this sound familiar Johnny?) There was also a trip to Puerto Rico in there somewhere, maybe right after graduation? Can't remember, just remember being confused about how broke he was or wasn't.

Then the Perv thread got started and an unofficial contest seems to have begun between JG and MTF's most notorious patho liar ever. We won't talk about her, but there is more to the 'I was stabbed at McDonald's' story than that one post. For a while leading up to that, Johnny regaled us with the story of his escapades with "Rafaella" the perfect girlfriend who got naked with him about an hour after they met, if I remember correctly. They were perfect together and the sex, which he wrote about in great detail in the perv thread, was hotter than every great movie you had ever seen in your life, combined. But then Johnny came home one day and discovered Rafaella having DP sex with 2 guys. D'oh! She tried to explain it away that they were just filming a porno because she was curious what that would be like (can't remember her age, but pretty sure JG was still in high school). I think it was about this time that "Rafa" told JG she was pregnant, and it was his baby. When he told us that Rafa was pregnant, he seemed to completely forget that this had happened to him before.

So a little while passes, and then the McDonald's stabbing/shooting happens. "Rafa" had a jealous ex boyfriend who was a gang member or something. So Rafa was at McDonald's, the ex shows up, she gets scared and calls Johnny, Johnny arrives just in time to get involved but darn the luck, the gun goes off, ricochets off of something and hits Rafa in just the right place for her to lose the baby. Don't remember what happened to Rafa after that, he stopped mentioning her. I looked all over the internet, never found any news articles about such a dramatic shooting/stabbing at McDonalds (wasn't surprised, many members of the perv thread knew it was all fiction). By the way, we had a lot of fun speculating why he chose the name 'Rafaella' for his fake, perfect girlfriend. What exactly was he working out of his system with that one?

Johnny, do you remember any of this? I do not like liars, not at all, but I cannot hate on Johnny for what he has done (and possibly continues to do). He doesn't tell these stories to hurt people, or to be malicious. He came back to this thread and faced the music, so maybe all this silliness really is just growing pains. (Unlike that other one who left MTF, but is still working it in other places on the internet tubes, hurting people).

Verd was right though, an apology would be nice. :)

yesterday i was going shopping, then, 'BOOM' this gun went off in the distance. i felt this little sting but didnt pay much attention to it because everybody was screaming. man it was chaos. and i didn't know what to do. but just after the gun shot, i noticed this walnut-like thing flying thru the air in front and away from me. i looked down to my jeans where the sting was. there was blood on my trousers. it was then i realised that my left testicle had been completely blown off and was now sliding out the the front door of the shopping centre. i was still on the ground. everyone still screaming. 'BOOM BOOM'. there was more gunfire as i crawled to see my bloody testicle by the front door. man... i needed to grab it. 'BOOM' more gun shots fired. it was then i made a dash for it... i got to me feet... picked up my left nut, and ran to the hospital where they sewed it back into my scrotum. i didnt need any painkillers because they are against my belief systems. later i found my dad's head was blown off which was also kinda bad but i wanted to get it off my chest with you guys. anyways, hey guys, how are ya? rafa smashed almagro good today.

The fact Groove keeps posting here is a proof he is still sick.

I don't know if someone saw the documentary Catfish. It's the same frightening shit. A must-watch.

oh man. guess what guys. the story just got worse.

the doctors have said that just before my father had his head blown off, he also experienced the extreme pain of having not one, but both testicles blown into oblivion for a whole 20 seconds. unlike me though there was no time to sew then back on. i am not sure how to take this.

anyways, hey guys :bigwave:

FC hang it up. Nice to see you Kitty and Fee. But honestly did you really believe everything that was written? Can't remember when I stopped reading; maybe when he came home and saw R having sex with 2 guys but heh. JG- I forgive you but certainly won't ever forget you.

This is why when you write of momentous events it is vital to corroborate them with photographic evidence, much as I did with my discovery of a uniquely shaped Malteser some years back. These little precautions help to maintain one's image.

I always knew Johnny Groove was a clown of the highest order - this thread just further confirms it. He was probably high on hallucinogens when he created all the hilarious bullshit he's now being ridiculed for. There is a good reason why you should trust about 0% what people post about themselves on the internet. Every post is a sly upon a sly, a feint within a feint.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's a 35 year old basement nerd whose pro tennis career is limited to his Wii console and his greatest real life achievement is scaling the stairs of his parents' basement to reach the family fridge.
