As human beings, we've all had regrets at one point or another in our lives. We wish we had studied more on that biology test; we wish we had talked to that cute guy who was smiling at you while out grocery shopping last week; or we wish we had paid more attention to our lover when we actually had them. In fact, according to a blog on the New York Times, researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that the most common regret among American adults involves a lost romantic opportunity. Other top regrets involved education (13 percent), career (12 percent), money issues (10 percent), parenting mistakes (9 percent) and health regrets (6 percent), according to the study, to be published in the journal Social Psychological & Personality Science.
