    Like 2 and 1/2 years for me but I have been on some dates but it hasn't lead to anything serious. So I just wait and when the time is right or so people say/

    10 months and counting! It's not bad being single. I've got Jesus and he is all I need in my life to sustain me! :heart:

    From Junior High to now (grade 7 -13 & beyond) I have only ever been single for just over a year and that was a recent record.

    Makes me look at myself and think I must be a relationship hopper but I dated only 3 people in the last 10 years so naw... it's not that.

    4 years. Because my ex boyfriend still lives here most of the time, and I couldn't stand to hurt or harm in by dating while he's still here.

    Happily divorced for almost 7 years. So, almost 7 years. But the last couple of years of the marriage felt like I was single.

    But in other words, I have been happily single and am quite sick of it. :wink:

    Almost 30 years for me (aka my whole life).

    When I was in school (Junior High through College), academics kept me busy. After graduating and entering the military, a combination of impending deployments, impending transfers, and covering multiple jobs at home for those who were currently deployed kept me moving enough I never really hd time to warm up to anyone. Along the way, I've had lots of friends who are, but was never around long enough for them to become girlfriends.

    I think the longest I've actually been single (since my divorce a decade ago) was about 3 yrs. I dated during that time, but no real relationship.

    I'm very outgoing and I enjoy being in a relationship, I just needed time to be right with me after a particularly bad coupling. Same with after my marriage though it wasn't really bad, just needed to adjust to being single. I usually take a year or more between relationships (since I don't do short term ones) to get right with me.

    I think taking time to heal properly after the end of a relationship (good bad or otherwise) is very important. For you and the person you choose to enter into a relationship with after that.

    I have been single for about a year. I probably wouldn't be but I was in a relationship that was perfect and I didn't like that. Does that make sense? I didn't want a perfect relationship, I wanted to feel something. Mostly I felt numb, so I ended it and I regret it, but my heart wasn't in it and it wasn't fair to him so here I am.
