LovieDove24 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am 24, and its been over a year and a half now. There was a short little one mixed in there (three months but we hardly ever saw each other) so I'm not counting that. How old are you guys and whats the longest amount of time you've ever been single? After you first started dating of course.
alphamale Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 lets see...44 yrs minus 3 yrs marriage = 41 single years of course this does not count dating/relationship thru which i am still technically single in the eyes of the IRS
moman Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 30, and lets see I was single for the first 23 years, then single from 27-30 or so. Don't sweat it.

9Lives Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Im 41...I have been single for 3 years at one time in my life. Most of the time, I have been with someone. Im single right now for 7 days so far:rolleyes:
CandyGirlXO Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am 26, and have been single before up to one year.
mehim Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 24, started dating around 17 was single for 6 mnths the longest which i was going through the break up process, dated someone for a month during that time. right now i consider myself single, although im talking to someone. my girlfriends always say that i cant stay single, and they want me to stay single for at least six months as a challenge for me lol.
Sam Spade Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 almost 2 years between relationships 1&2 (i.e. between age 24 and 26) 4 months between relationships 2&3 (at age 31) (i don't count going on a few dates/ONS to be anything at all)
nothappyjan Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm 23 and just got dumped after 3months of seeing someone, but that wasnt a proper relationship and other than that I've had no relationship so pretty much from birth til now i've been single:( hahah
Khabarak Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am 20 years old. I have been single for approximately a year and a half -- 2 years if you don't count my last relationship which only lasted about 1 month.
xpaperxcutx Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Hmm, I started dating around when I was 17, had my first " semi- serious" relationship when I turned 18, and pretty much dated around after that. I'm 19 now, so I've been single - minus the ONS- 9 months at the most?
Citizen Erased Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 3 weeks since I was 17. 3 weeks and 2 days since I was 15.
wonderifshelikesme Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I will be 24 in June and I just have started actually trying to meet girls again. Out of college I thought I was in love with the girl I would marry--and then she cheated on me. It broke my heart and I suppose I needed all year and a half to get back to myself. Still haven't gotten into anything serious at all, but I am ready for it now at least...
D-Lish Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am over 35- and I have been gone up to 4 years being single. I don't care much. I certainly have had lots of dates- and sex is available if I want to go that route. I've also dated people for short periods of time- say 2-3 months. At my age- 2 to 3 months is just a blip. It's hard to discern between dating and relationships sometimes. I "saw" someone for 2 months and never really cared if it was going anywhere.... But I also "dated" someone for almost 3 months and fell madly in love with him. I'd say I was single 4 years at my longest. I had sex and a few short lived flings in there- but nothing substantial.
alphamale Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Alpha I know you like to keep your posts short and sweet but I wasn't refering to "irs" single, I was referring to anything outside of substantial LTRs. oh, then i've probably been single 25 out of me 44 yrs, the margin of error is +/- 2 yrs
IcemanJB Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm 23 (as of today!), I have two dating gaps, both roughly the same amount of time ~1 year, 3 months single. Not a big deal though.
somedude81 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Lets see I'm 27 years old and I started dating when I was....wait a second I haven't started dating yet.
sally4sara Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm 35 and dated my first BF for just over a year so...... Three months where I didn't accept any requests to go out after dumping a seriously jealous guy. After him, I needed some peace and quiet.
loser101 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm 36, until I was 31 I was in serious relationships continuously. the last 5 years I had 2 relationships that counted for anything but apart from those I have been pretty much single. lots of one night stands and flings basically
Isolde Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am over 35- and I have been gone up to 4 years being single. By single, you guys mean not dating anyone, but possibly going on dates here and there... right? I'm 22 and have never been in a relationship, and it's been 2.5 years since I went on more than 2 dates with anyone.
clv0116 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I think "single" is sort of a soft concept. What about divorced people? Dating? Non-exclusive dating? I bet technically most people here on LS are either married, separated or divorced. Which means they're not really single anymore, ever.
Ruby Slippers Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I have been in committed relationships ever since I first started dating, and my first serious relationship in which I loved the guy started when I was 17. I have almost always had a boyfriend since my first, with the exception of almost a year in my early 20s, when I chose to be single for a while. I ended my 4th serious relationship 6 months ago and resolved to be completely single for a year. So, a year is the longest I've ever been single.
