Posted: 5/14/2008 8:34:39 AM | | For me the longest time between relationships was 5 months. I was in a relationship for 10+ years, kicked his butt to the curb then found my current SO about 5 months later. Alot of people told me that was too quick after being in a relationship for so long but being single wasn't my thing, the first month was ok but after that coming home to an empty place and eating dinner alone sucked. I like having someone in my life...call it codependence or whatever, it's what I prefer! | |

..... and the beds are so much colder with only one. I had to get a smaller bed just to stay warm. Nobody's breathing to listen to. No face to watch sleeping in the moonlight. Nobody to cook for or interupt for a hug. Nobody to look to to share a moment with. A glance, a word, their scent, a touch in passing. Laughter and tears ..... life. I will always miss those even if i do eventually move on the past will always be there. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:24:35 AM | | It was about 3 years between serious relationships......... in that 3 years I met a lot of women as in interviews..... to select a possible candidate for a new serious relationship. From my findings of that experience, there are many people looking for serious relationships who don't have a clue how to have one and dysfunction runs amuck in the dating world. You have to keep clear site of your dating goals or be eaten up by the users, manipulators and seriously mentally ill. You have to date with purpose, not out of boredom/ revenege or any of that nonsense you will easily find in the dating world... because you'll get out of it when you put into it. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:57:15 AM | This might sound weird, but I'll out it out there anyway, I haven't counted how long I've not been in a relationship for awhile. I was in a relationship for over 10 years until it stopped, rather dramatically, and such. 2 bad relationships after that made me realize I had to get good with myself again, heal and all that. Once I got to that point, I realized I wasn't counting how long I've been single, or not in a relationship or whatnot. I'm assuming of course, you're talking about a romantic relationship with a partner, of course. I realized that while I would like to form another great one with a person, I don't need one really. I'm happy with myself and where I am and the life I have and things I do fulfill me rather well. Having a person there with me is more like icing on the cake. I just don't see not being in a relationship as negative, nor do I focus on it. really.
Some do and that's just their thing, I figure they just like counting things. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 10:15:20 AM | | I guess about 4 months, although it wasn't a really "significant" relationship. I'd in theory like to find another one, a better one, but I am not actively LOOKING for one. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:00:14 AM | | On average mine last 2 years. Then I'll have a few months being single, and sure enough I'll meet someone else. This time though I'm going to TRY to be single a bit longer =P | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:09:58 AM | | My last relationship was 5 or 6 years ago. Then I tried starting one up a couple of years ago but it didn't take. I haven't been on a date since. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:13:51 AM | hey riding you hit the nail on the head!!
IMO it is important to be able to stand alone and know who you are and be confident/comfortable with yourself before you can expect to jump into anything with another.
I have been divorced just over 5 yrs, and have not been in a 'relationship' since then. yes i've dated and have a fwb, however, no committed, romantic relationship since my divorce.
And that's okay! however, it would be nice to have a companion that is there for you in the good times and bad.
as always, just my opinion | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:50:40 AM | Well, the answer to that question would depend on whether we use the date on when we officially split or when I considered the relationship over. As to when she moved out of here, 6 months ago. As to when I considered the relationship dead, 7-8 months ago.
Before then I was out of a relationship for only 2 and a half months, and before then about 18 months.
At the moment I'm sort of in a state between friendship and a relationship with someone. It's somewhat "complicated"  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 12:17:55 PM | ^^^LOL ~ it's not the most positive one here today ~ but sadly, I think it's a good one. It took me over three years to venture into dating when I lost the love of my life ~ then it was a three week holy-hell-nightmare-dating situation that resulted in me going another year before being brave enough to venture that route ~ and here I am, counting again. I guess I'm meant for greater things than long-term relationships.....like movies alone, reading endlessly in the late night hours and posting here.  I have faith, though ~ when he falls out of the sky into my yard ~ it's meant to be.  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:52:25 PM | | Can't really answer this. If I had to say it would be 22 years... I never really had a relationship that was longer than a week. I don't know how it happened now that I look back on it but I suppose I am a late bloomer just like a lot of people out there | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 7:39:21 PM | OP.... I usually average between 8 months to a year before relationships. I have a hard time, after opening up and letting someone in, just moving on. I feel it's a good idea too.... it gives me time to be sure I am free in every way for the next person.
