how many people have you dated?

Post Reply New Topic

Somewhere in the vicinity of none-ish.

I'd say 99% of people my age around here don't think. They have no opinions, beliefs, or values whatsoever. Why would I want to date something so mechanical and uninteresting?

Nevah

just one. ever. i don't think i'd like dating too many people...lol and i don't usually develop crushes on people all willy-nilly...lol

I have never had a serious girlfriend.

I've dated a few girls in real life but they were short lived relationships, and I had an online GF which turned out to be a massive waste of time.

I would say 2-3 which is fairly pathetic I suppose but its better then nothing.

Two

The answer to this really depends on your definition of "dating". I define it as repeatedly seeing someone with some kind of serious intention (as opposed to, say, a sex-fling). And i don't count people I only went out with once and never saw again. So, by those parameters, my count is TWO. And one of them is my husband now. Actually, the other one was also my husband for a while.

I think I mentioned this earlier but 5 so far.

Twice. One serious relationship (six years) and one that lasted a few months.

So true

I had something like 20 kind-of-serious dates with the same girl over a 6-month period, and guess what... nothing happened, not even a kiss!! When I asked her about it she said we were just friends. I still don't know what happened...

Hehe, I did this once too. Pretty embarrassing now.

I was a terrible dater, when I dated. I had one toxic boyfriend in high school who wanted kids. That was definitely a go nowhere relationship, but no matter how many times we broke up, he'd show up again. He still calls my mother after 27 years to see if I'm still married and how I am.

In college, I was really bad at dating. My 'friends' were always setting me up with guys and frankly, guys like me for whatever reason. So, for a year and a half, I rotated boyfriends, sometimes in the same night. I didn't have the concept of nice or polite or ladylike down. I treated them all horribly because I didnt connect with them on an emotional level at all. Many of my dates ended within five minutes because I'd abruptly decide it wasn't going to work and tell them I had to go to the restroom. I would leave. I had no idea how to tell someone I wasn't interested once I was. I was very distinct about male friends and boyfriends. Male friends did not cross that line. I went out with just one guy who turned into a friend when we both laughed about the fact that we had zero chemistry. He's the one who introduced me to my husband. When he told me he found the perfect man for me, he was right. My future husband took over the third time I met him and started to take care of all the outside stuff I hated. He's a big time intellectual who reads every book I do and talks to me about them from an intellectual point of view. He'll talk to me about Physics, Evolution, Biology, etc. He likes to travel and takes me anywhere I want to go. He's very quiet like I am for the most part and he has his own outlets for socializing so he doesn't put it on me. Most of all, he didn't care that I didn't want kids. Big bonus.


When I was younger, I would say my problem wasn't that I couldn't find dates, it was that I didn't like dating at all. I still think it's the strangest ritual on the face of the earth. It's basically people trying to tell the other person what they think they want to hear.
