    My last boyfriend was at age 16, and we only dated for a few months. I am 32 now, so I guess that means I've been single for (at least) half of my life? Hm. :noway:

    I know what I want in a man and I am willing to wait for him, no matter how long it takes to find him (or for him to find me). Hopefully I will still be young and radiant when that time comes. :laugh: :love:

    It'll be five years in June. Broke off my engagement then, never looked back.

    ....thanks, now you got me thinking about it and I've been single for pretty much my entire 20's (last relationship ended when I was 20). I have 1 year left to change that and it's not looking good. :frown:

    I'm 24. I've been single for 2 years now. I have been on dates since then, but never more than two with someone. I'm looking for someone, but in no big rush.

    I'm 44. On Dec. 31, 1999, after 10 years of marriage, I moved out. Woke up the next morning in 2000 to a new life, alone. Not what I wanted. Took a couple of years to give it up. Still, I haven't dated since; I'm ready now.

    It's been 6 years for a serious-live-together-relationship. But I've dated many since; just no one I saw myself growing old with. Now I'm more focused on getting my weight in order until I feel like I want to date again. I know people say you should find someone to accept you the way you are but I need to be happy with my body first not for anyone else but for me; however crazy that sounds and right now I'm not. I'm happy otherwise and content where I am. :)

    I'm 38 and have been single for about 15 months, not even one date .... looking now to start dating, seems to be slim pickings though .... single men that are not creepy are in hiding
