Thread: Tell us about your "relationship" status

None of the above! Single and happy! :p

I'm single. I had a fairly serious long-distance relationship with a friend of mine for about three years. We hooked up my senior year of high school (and he was the first to ask me to a dance... and ask me out) and he came to my univeristy after he graduated (as he is two years younger than me), though not just because of me. However, my junior year, the year he came, I came to the conclusion that I just did not see myself with him in the future and decided to break it off before he thought otherwise. I'd just be devistated to have someone propose and have to say no.

So now I'm back home living with the 'rents... not paying rent. To be honest, I'm okay with being single right now mainly because I know that there is no one in this town that's for me. I'm biding my time until I can get out.

In a complicated dating-type situation.

Okay, so I'm always either single or in a complicated dating-type situation. That's only because guys don't want to have to deal with me very long. Some of them only like to look...don't want to actually care. Pfft, but I get what i can.

LOL!!!

for none of the above

ohhhh man, welcome to teh interweb!

Married three years and loving it. Actually, this is my second marriage, but we don't count the first one.

None of the above. Single, and up 'til recently quite happy that way. Now I'm beginning to rethink that.



I've begun to crave female companionship. Thing is, I don't have the opportunity to get out much, not having a car, and still stuck with my learner's license. So no real way to meet anyone. Poor, pitiful me . . .

I used to think like that before i got my licence and got use of a car. The truth (at least for me, it might be more optimistic for you tho) is a car doesn't change much, yeah it's convienient, but it's not going to solve your female problems. I used to think "oh yeah, it'll be no problem, once i get a car i'll be able to meet people and all", but if you aren't meeting people already, you're screwed.

That's actually where I'm at. It's cool being single, don't get me wrong. But after awhile it does start to get lonesome.

You've had what my boss likes to call a "practice marriage".

I'm single, not unhappy. I've never really worried about girls much (except grade 10, I got screwed over every time).

I think grade 12 is going to be my year. I need my first girlfriend.

Oh, I'm under no real illusions that having a vehicle will suddenly open up whole realms of opportunities formerly closed to me. It will give me transportation, though, so that if I want to go on a date, I won't have to have my sister drive me...

Indeed. Indeed it does. Somehow a dog, though a faithful companion, just isn't the same.

I've actually been single and content with it for some years now. But I have been looking for the past year in a half though. I'm quite rusty after so long (in more ways than one).

I've been happily, blessedly married to Chris for 13 years, and together with him 16. We've experienced hard times, stress, and good fortune, too. The years just increase my love and respect for Chris.

I recently had a medical emergency and nearly died. It was then I realized just how much he loved me and the depth of his loyalty.

I hope all of you out there who are single but wish to be married are able to choose well and find this type of relationship. There is simply no substitute for a faithful, loving, long-term partner.

I want what EagleEye is having. Hell, yeah.

It's nice that so many of our married members express such happiness and loyalty when referring to their marriages and spouses. That is so cool.

Glad you are all right, and you had him to be with you.

No truer words were ever written.

I cant believe 65% of people here are not dating. We should set up a single room

I'm sort of single.

I am so alone!

Me and my girlfriend Sarah are going strong We've been going out for over a year and a 1/2 and I love her a lot.

Barnsey, what a sweet picture!
.

I'm always involved with someone lightly.

And every few months I get involved heavily.


Am just trying people out before finding the ultimate.















I'll keep tellin myself that.

Yyyyyeah, about that... The sooner I come to grips with the fact that there is indeed no one out there for me the sooner I can get back to my life of being a sad, lonesome - albeit at least somewhat content - loser.

You know the cruel irony of it all? I've kind of developed an attitude the past few years that maybe no woman could live up to my standards. But, with every failure I chalk up, the truth comes around to slap me in the face. The deficient one is me. I should have known that all along. I suppose I'm not worthy.

Well, I know my place now. Life goes on as usual.

Oneironaught, that is a terrible, despicable attitude to have. Rid yourself of it immediately.

If you, for some reason, feel that you yourself are the problem, figure out how to go about fixing it. Don't just give up on relationships altogether. Seriously, you're beginning to sound downright scary with this whole, "I suck" thing. Realizing that you have issues is one thing -- if that is indeed the case -- but taking it out on yourself is another thing entirely.

Cheer up; they say there is an average of four females for every one male on this planet. Out of all those, at least one is your perfect match. Logistics say she can't be too far off. Just be patient, and don't give up.


And if you keep up with this self-depreciation crap, I'm gonna chew you out again, buster. Up one side and down the other. From all that I've seen of you on this forum, you're one hell of a great guy, one I sure as heck wouldn't mind calling friend. Whatever lucky woman makes you hers will be just that; lucky.

Chin up. Tomorrow's a new day. One in which, hopefully, one of those couple billion spare women will discover that you're just what she's been looking for all her life.
