I've only had one in my entire life. You could say I had two since I was once going out with this one woman named Delyla, but we basically just dated every now and then, and it never really felt like much of a relationship. Especially since she would have like 5 different guys calling her throughout the course of one of our dates. I've been asked out quite a few times, but as far as being in a real relationship goes, I've only experienced that once. How about you all. How many relationships have you been in?? Poll results are public, so only vote if you don't mind others seeing how many relationships you've been in.

I've had two.

My first was a boy called Kieran and my second is my current boyfriend, Kris.

I've had 3.

I don't have a lot of luck when it comes to relationships.

Officially I've had two, but I've never been seriously "in love" with anyone before. I've had guys that said they loved me, but I don't think they really did. I've never had my heart broken, although one guy says I did break his :(

I haven't either. Even though I have had six "relationships", not all of them lasted very long. One, infact, only lasted a couple of weeks.

I have had four boyfriends. I had two in high school. One I dated during my sophmore year. I didn't have a boyfriend during my junior year. I dated my second boyfriend during our senior year and during the first year of college. I've had two relationship in past five years.

None, really. I never got past the third date with anyone. To tell the truth, I'm much happier single than I was with any of the guys I went out with!! :D

My story is exactly the same except the few people I've been out with were women not guys!

I always think of that quote from "Some Kind of Wonderful" that says "I'd rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones..."

There's an incredible pressure in our society to be WITH someone, sometimes ANYONE, to assure everyone you're not asexual or going to end up all alone, both of which are probably preferable to being with someone you don't really love.

Our society greatly underestimates the value of friendship; it can often be better and deeper than a romantic relationship. I've had some very deep friendships and one or two that I thought were "more" but ultimately weren't...but I wouldn't have traded them for the world.

^ You are so right. Plus, I don't care what "they" say. I would like to meet Mr. Right someday, if one is out there for me. If not, it's OK, too. :cool: :D

I've known so many young women who were so worried that they didn't "have someone" that they got together with the first uhm...gentleman...that paid attention to them, and the results were disastrous. Unplanned and often unwanted children, a dead end, loveless marriage/relationship, financial hardships, alcohol and spousal abuse...all because of being afraid of being alone.

But say something like that in mixed company and you're in for an earful...lol... ;)

Maybe I should elaborate.
When I was 13 years old I always thought I should be married by the time I was 30. I was kind of brought up baptist so you didnt have sex before marriage So I waited and waited for the right person, NEVER settling for anything but the BEST. I wasnt really thinking about it but a week before I turned 30 The love of my life showed up and the rest is 15 years later, Boy there was a lot of Faith and Luck involved with that.

I had four serious relationships before I met my husband, including a broken engagement. I consider myself lucky, having found love in my 20s. My husband is my everything. We adore each other.

1 for me, it lasted a month or two, I really cared about him. He was a Sophomore in College and I was a Senior in High School. His sister and I were the same age and best friends, and he broke up with me by writing me a note and giving it to her to give to me. This is why I now only date guys who are at least 8 years older than me, maturity is important, lol :crazy:

I've dated, but I've only had one true relationship and on June 29th, we'll have been married for 13 years!:love:

I dated a guy in high school for two years and I swear, he never even kissed me! We met at church and he was a year older than I was. Plus, we went to different schools. He was always asking me over and so forth, but it never got past hand holding or hugging. I was so "deprived" back then that I just told everyone he was my boyfriend. He did take me to the prom (in his dad's Porsche!) and to dinner at a really nice seafood restaurant, so I consider that being boyfriend/girlfriend. Everyone was always telling me to make the first move, but now that I look back on it, that would have been detrimental to our relationship, since we were really just good friends.

7 for me but only 3 were really serious. The other four we never got past a few dates for various reasons. Sadly the three serious relationships ended with them leaving me for someone else. The last relationship I was in was a disaster to say the least. I wont go into all the details but it nearly killed me. Turned out she was only using me to support her. In the end she ended the relationship by moving me out of her house one day and the very next day moving in my replacement. Of course I didnt find out about this until later and it was only when I showed up to get the rest of my things that she finally told me after giving me excuses why I couldnt come over to get my stuff.


Anyhow the one girl I wanted to hook up with is no longer with us, so thats life.

Your story sort of reminded me of this one female I liked. She seemed to liked me too. We exchanged phone numbers and all she talked about was her ex-boyfriend "Steve." She claimed she was glad she wasn't with him anymore, but she always had good things to say about him. Turned out, I reminded her of Steve, so I had left her alone. She ended up getting a job at the hospital where my sister worked a few months later, and she told my sister that she liked me. Well, when we were supposely talking, she always talked about another guy, so what I am suppose to do?!

Too many to remember; when I was younger, I always wore my heart on my sleeve, and seemed to be, in and out, of a different relationship (every month or so). Of course, now that I am older, I am a little more selective and cautious...

Janice, it is Lou who is the lucky guy. You two are perfect together! I as well am a very lucky man to have found love at an early age. Some people neve find love or find it late which sometimes complicates things if you want kids etc. My wife and kids are my everything!

I have had around five girlfriends in my life time (I'm 39). I am currently in a relationship with a woman who is around my age. We go to the same church together and it is more platonic than anything else. I agree that society puts too much pressure on people to "pair up with someone." I hope I do find "that right one" but I feel that it would be better to be single your whole life than to end up in an unhappy situation.

I could never understand why that is the case. Some people prefer to be single.

I only had one.

I wanted to have a relationship, but she wanted to only be friends. We dated...then she told me about her husband!:eek:

She was torn between two lovers and she wanted advice from me! I didn't have the answers for her and her family disapproved of the eloped wedding she had and they got me hooked up with her. Well, it seemed that she loved him over me because she rather stay with her husband that her family disapproved of so I said that I would never date her again to myself.

Today, we are now cousins and I haven't kept contact with her, even though I saw her at my cousin's wedding. She wanted to date me again...but I declined.

She was also disabled, but she acted like a **** at the time.
