| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 6/22/2009 3:14:48 PM | Since 1996, I haven't been married. I lived with one 3 yrs, he never worked. When he did the Dr. Jeckyll Mr. Hide thing after 3 yrs, I found out he was on crack cocaine.
A few yrs after the breakup, met another lasted 3 yrs, younger son went online to www.illinoisstatepolice.org, found out he tried to molest a 4 yr old boy in 1984. I haven't really dated since 5 yrs. I was so turned off by running into a pedophile. Luckily, nothing happened to my child. | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 6/22/2009 3:17:57 PM | I've been single since May of 2008.
Since then, have only done some dating... the longest being about 3 months... but nothing exclusive or semi-exclusive.
I'm making things harder for myself by being honest... | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 6/22/2009 4:03:56 PM | | Are there humans who never mate? Are there not societies with a high ration of males to females? That would leave many males with no opportunity to mate. Is it necessary to mate in order to maintain mental functioning? It seems to be a powerful biological urge. | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 6/22/2009 6:38:53 PM | I was single 5 yrs between husband 1 and husband 2 and now 22 years not dating 16 of those years due to wanting to concentrate on raising my wonderful sons.
Due to my previous marriage I also wanted to learn to love myself and learn to make the next serious relationship special (hence a little more selective) Have dated but nothing committed (not by my choice) lol. | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 7/2/2009 12:12:15 AM | Eight months, after a four year relationship, which thankfully ended up with us as close friends with no ongoing issues (yes children, it does happen!). Eight months is long enough for my mother to flip out and insist that I join an online dating site because apparently eight months with only a few dates is long enough to spell DOOM and SPINSTERHOOD when you're 22. I think she's just terrified I'll never give her grandchildren.
I think after reading this thread I should really tell her to take a chill pill huh? | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 7/2/2009 4:22:17 AM | | My last official girlfriend was like 2003, and my last long-term loose dating relationship was early 2005. So I've been single for 4.5 years. And trust me, it's not by choice. I actually prefer having a steady girlfriend. I've has enough sexual relationships in between with girls which I was not interested in for long term (and no I never led them on). But the ones that I have been sincerely interest in seemed to drop me for no reason. Seriously...for NO reason! Just one day we were establishing a great relationship and the next day...can't get in contact with them. | |

| How long have you been single??? Whats the longest? Posted: 7/2/2009 9:49:20 AM | Most of my life. I am 46 and I was with my husband for 9 1/2 years before he died (he has been gone for 4 1/2 years). I was with my first husband for 3 1/2 years. Other than that I have had no long-term or short term relationships. I haven't even really dated anyone along the way. Made a few friends, tried to look at something with two guys since my husband died, but nope, nothing. So, that makes the majority of my 46 years.
I suspect that will also be the remainder of my years. That is fine with me, just gonna enjoy what I have in each day! Yup, it is by choice, I choose not to put up with anyone else's shit. I know where I am going in MY life, that is all that matters!
