how long have u been single?

NomadicKris

About 18 months since my marriage ended, was single most of my twenties, didn't date - wanted to live for me. And doing that again. I'm not a casual relationship person and right now my focus is on myself, my studies and my children - once I get my health where I want it then I will reassess, but right now? It works for me, and I have never understood why people get embarrassed to say they're single... believe me, relationships aren't always what they're cracked up to be, even when you ignore the cracks for as long as possible..

How long have I been single?

Embarrasing to admit but

I am 25 going on 26 in a couple of days and I have never had a date and or relationship.
Never been the boyfriend never had a girlfriend.

I have always been self loathing always overweight and never saw myself as good enough to ask a girl out for fear of rejection.
Sad I know but hopefully on this journey I find confidence and courage. I already have learned to love myself for who I am.

I'm 42 and I never started counting so no idea really. I may not be single no one has made a claim yet.... :flowerforyou:

I'm 33 and my last long-term relationship (2 years) ended in September 2010. It took a while before I started dating again (my dad was fighting 2 cancers at that time, so my priorities changed for a few months) and I have to say that the dates I have been on since have been disappointing. I'm still hopeful I'll find my Mr. Right...

hey, I'm Darla, 37, and fairly new to the group, too.

And legally I've been single since Wednesday. But separated since Sept. 2011. That was a two and a half year stint. Before that, I was single for about five years (okay, so I dated and even got engaged once inbetween)... was married for 9 yrs to my first husband who is now deceased. He was my first real serious relationship, and I was 20 when we got together.

you are still young... you have time...

Continue your strides to improve yourself and you will gain the self-confidence and the courage you need. And when you do, you will meet a girl who appreciates all that you have to offer.

I am 29 and have been single 6 months, although my husband was in the Phillippines on and off forbusiness for about 15 months before that on and off so it feels like it's been longer.

EX-HUSBAND I should say;)

I'm 27 and my ex dumped me for the second time 2 weeks ago tomorrow! Way to let him back in. I don't really miss him just the idea of being with someone.

7 years, if you count it as "dating" when you're 12

Oh wait. That wasn't the question, was it?
A year and something, probably.

Bikini27

I'm 27 and have been single but dating since my divorce was finalized in Oct of 2010.
None of the "relationships" lasted past a few dates so far, but I'm holding out hope the most recent one turns out that way :smokin:

MrsT9217

I'm 27... I was in a 5 year relationship but its been a long time since that ended... I have casually dated but haven't been in a serious relationship for like 5 years. It took some time to get past it -- now I'm just focusing on myself so I can find a new guy

atjays

25, almost 26 here, been single for 6 years and haven't dated anyone for the past 3

autumnk921

I have been single for a little over 2yrs now...Been on a few dates in the past few months but that's about it....Being single isn't so bad but sometimes it would be nice to have some companionship and somebody to laugh with...I love love love to laugh!!

42 and have been single since Jan 2009, when my ex husband left. That was a 170lb loss right there.

sallywilson06

I've been single for almost 3 years now.. It's not that I don't date, but the guys that I go out with sometimes just completely suck.. The ones that have some good qualities are either gomers or just out for sex..

sarita66

I'm 45 and have been single close to 20 years. Don't judge. lol

Thank you for being brave and sharing. I am also 45 and have been divorced since 2000 and have dated very little since then. I am enjoying this group and gaining insight into dating.

meesh109

Hey, I've just joined this group!

I'm 41 tomorrow and been single since November last year. Can't decide if I'm ready to start dating again yet or not!?!?

gogojodee

I'm new here! Haha. I joined a couple days ago but I hadn't posted.

I just turned 28 at the beginning of last month - I've been single since January 2010, we were living together and for financial reasons/issues, I moved and he didn't want a long distance relationship, thus ending what we had.

I liked being single for awhile, but I'm ready to start dating again.

lorro

Too long/Not long enough. Can't decide

7 years give or take a few months/boyfriends.
