Calling all the exes

You know what would be an enjoyable -- albeit it uncomfortably enlightening -- project? To contact all the former romantic interests from my life and seek honest feedback on our relationships. Quiz everybody from the girls in high school I didn't ask out (but wanted to) to the girlfriend I broke up with due to differences of faith to the girl from my childhood who I dated once and lost because I was just too damn sweet.

The first time I thought of this was in the context of writing an article for Men's Health.

I can imagine phrasing the questions as, "What would you have said if I'd done x instead of y?"

"Tell me honestly, why did you lose interest?"

"At some point, could you have seen yourself marrying me?"

Might be fun.

Obviously, it brings to mind the film "High Fidelity." Good flick.

Would I be surprised at any of the answers? Would it stir regrets?

Hmm. Gotta wonder.
