Just so you know, the most terrible thing I have ever done to a lady was send her a love letter. Admittedly, my timing was a bit off - she had just recently broken up with her boyfriend. Still, to this day I do not understand why speaking my heart on the matter was so terrible that it cost me her friendship and that of two of our mutual best friends as well. I can only guess how my letter truly impacted her.
And I regret that. I would have liked the opportunity to hear her side of the story. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to learn more from this misstep, considering that it was such an expensive life lesson.
