I've been single since 2005. I'm now 28 years old. I feel as though I'm just watching life pass by on the sideline rather than being an active participant in it.

Almost 13 years. I had my many chances but the all but two were the ones I was interested in. I lost contact with one after the business got sold and the other her aunt didn't want me to date her when she liked me.

I don't feel I'm losing anything there's more to life than relationships.

 

There is more to life than relationships, but if you don't have any type of relationship, even friendships, it's psychologically destroying.

 

13 years? How old are you?

In the middle of it right now. 7 months. Hardly any time at all I know, but it feels like an eternity.

7 months isn't too long to be single. I'm going on 8 years now and it's messing with my head. Humans are social creatures by nature and I'm not socialising and meeting members of the opposite sex. I would be optimistic if I knew things will change in the future, but at the moment I don't see anything changing. I live alone, I work alone, I eat alone, I am alone.

Well I've been single all my life. Seven years if we're counting just adulthood.

 

Haven't been on a date since February 2011. I have one lined up for this week though, so that drought could soon be ended. So long as no one cancels...

43 years, my whole life. :( poor social skills, anger, depression.
Wow that's nuts. Have you seeked psychological counselling to get over whatever issues you may have? I don't know any virgins over 40.

longest for me was 2 years - with one short two month dating/relationship thingy...

I'm not so sure anyone i have been with classified it as a relationship (i did, they didnt, more someone they could use from there point of view), however the last time i was with someone and had the ability of sex (limited as it was) was over 15 years ago.

 

I dont have friends either (reasons i wont go in to here), all are acquaintances at best, boarding on business people. Being i don’t drink, smoke, drugs and have very direct taste when it comes to what i like doing, i found it easier to just do what i like than try to fit in with others to be honest.

I workout little, not much strength or stamina. I have some hobbies but most are solitary. Confidence is below zero. There's an angry temper too and have been called passive aggressive frequently.

 

Anger, heres an interesting thing, your personality trait, stop eating wheat (for a week, no bread cake etc...), it will be hard but i am willing to bet a fair amount of money you anger almost vanishes.

 

Generally any "main" wheat products, (hence bread, cakes etc, egg noodles are nice instead of pasta), that was something that cured my "no reason" anger suprising well.

Not only wheat but certain chemicals like MSG. Coffee, meat, etc. All these things are acidic. Meat is very acidic. I feel more calm when eating less meat.

 

So what's left to eat? Only vegetables?

Non dating stretch... hmm... Three months without a relationship or date of any kind I'd guess. Even then I had a guy friend and we would meditate and watch movies. I'd also give him back massages (dressed). Definitely just friends as I wasn't his type.

 

The longest I've been out of a "relationship" of any kind... probably six months at most. Met a couple people at the time, but nothing clicked...

 

Longest "not married" stretch = 6 years currently.

Just over 23 years. During that time, 4 members of my family died, and I ended up with a house which was paid off in 1950.

 

My 1st date was back in spring of '87---a woman who looked like a fat teenage boy. When I started getting my s. together, my 2nd date was in summer 2010---another woman who looked like a fat teenage boy!!!

This is going to depend on each person, however if you notice it subsides then it has to be food as that’s the only thing that chances in a day cycle.

 

I have ringing in my ears, what got me is when i am ill and i dont eat for 2 days, i feel so healthy its not funny and no ringing, so it had to be diet, i foudn what it was now i moderate it.

 

The wheat thing was something i notice with others, when i cut it out (for other reasons) i notice i didnt snap very fast.

19 years. 19 long years. Hey, maybe I'll be able to make it to 80.

About three years. I was in highschool then though, and boys were immature idiots. XP Other than that, about 6 months... I'm young though, and I've currently ended up in a dry spell again...and who knows how long this will last.

Vegetables, nuts and seeds (preferably soaked in water limited amounts), limited amount of non processed meats, rice, quinoa , buckwheat, fruits etc, olive oil, coconut oil and fermented foods.

 

Meat is the worst then processed foods with chemicals. MSG can kill a person that's why try to avoid it as much as possible.

 

Sounds horrible. I'll pass. :laugh:

 

Meat is too good.

coffee sometimes turns me into a monster !!! I remember having this coffee once, in a random place and totally losing it, that morning.

 

I am extremely careful as to my caffeine intake - I avoid having it before important meetings or switch to decaf, in the morning, if I need to see people.

 

Amazing, how what we put into ourselves can affect our behavior! Frightening, really....

The longest stretches for some reason are almost always by guys

God, two years. I have not dated anyone for two years now. Been on dates, but they were just first dates and did not go beyond that.

 

I am 29 this year and am ready for another relationship, let's hope I do not end up as a crazy cat lady lol.
