Since the board has been quiet lately, I thought it might be a good idea to see where everyone is at in their singledom adventure!
So, who's dating, who has a bf/gf, how long, what's the deal? Anyone new on the horizon, etc. etc.....

Still single here and no good prospects right now. So, let me live vicariously through y'all peeps!

    Still single, but have 2 "friends" that keep me company when needed. No new prospects, but not turning any down should they come along either :)

    Still single, not really looking... but there might be an interest in someone. Though it'll be a bit before anything comes of it. :wink:

    Been seeing the same guy for about 9 months but I'm starting to really miss being single. I want more time for myself and to be more selfish and less giving. Is that terrible? Meh, I don't really care either way. Sometimes I feel like his mother. And that's a terrible feeling.

    Dating the same guy since July 2012 - share an apartment. Everything is going REALLY well.

    I still consider myself single until I'm married and since I have no plans of that EVER happening, I'll be a part of SP for awhile!

    I've been dating an amazing guy for about 7 months now. We met on POF. He lives about an hour away so we see each other on the weekends. (the weekends the kids are here, he drives back and forth both days....when the kids are with their dad, he just stays here....) I've never been happier in my life!

    Sometimes I feel like his mother. And that's a terrible feeling.

    I know that feel, that was exactly how my marriage went. I had to raise my ex wife.

    Casually seeing someone as a friend. It is a nice arrangement.

    Have no intentions of relationships anytime soon.

    Also to note, this board is quiet now simply because many men have either quit or just stopped expressing any opinions.

    Hence the posts, convos generally limit themselves to gossip in the confession thread, lawl.

    I just got out of a tortuously long relationship (almost THREE WHOLE MONTHS!) and am enjoying being single again. I learned a few lessons and am moving on.
    :)

    Edit: She was actually quite a great girl, we were just looking for different dynamics. For a relationship to work for me, I would need someone incredibly independent and not looking to fill a hole in their life, which seems to be a common theme I encounter.

    WOW! It's been awhile since I've been on here.

    I'm still with the same guy (almost 2 yrs now minus 2 break ups). It's been a rocky road, but I stay because I see in him what he doesn't see in himself.

    A week ago I would have told you our relationship was strained because of his aging mother being in the hospital and now needs full time care. I have since changed my perspective..Our relationship has the opportunity to grow stronger as we work together to help her. I've gotten frustrated with his sister's for their lack of wanting to help more, but I had a friend tell me that if I focus on what I feel I should be doing, and not worry about them, I will come out the better person for knowing I did what I felt I should have done. After all, this is NOT about them.

    I just want to wish all of you well in your journey to better health AND better relationships.

    Dammit, I see what I did there. And I see what YOU did there.

    To her benefit, that is definitely something she had no issue with.

    I know, I could have kept her strung along for quite a while. I'm not sure how the hell it happened, but at some point in life I developed a sense of morals. It's really annoying and putting a major dent in my sex life.

    If sleeping wih her stops you from sleeping with yourself ... wait I thought that was the purpose of stringing someone along. I don't know how to finish this.

    It gets worse. She stopped by the other day to pick up her things and asked me for a ride downtown. To the bikini waxing shop for an appointment. Then asked if I wanted to grab lunch.

    I said no thanks, I just ate.

    Single and looking, no real prospects at the moment and hit a drought on the dating sites.
    There is one guy I am meeting Saturday but he is leaving for 7 weeks to Asia....

    Funny, I seem to meet these men.
    I am incredibly independent and can't give a man 7 days a week.
    Hard to find a good balance, hey?

    I don't think that's terrible, sounds like maybe you just don't have the right balance that YOU need.

    Finding balance is hard....have one that I see one day a week, and another that wants to see me and haven't met yet and he already doesn't like that I have school 2 nights/week!!! I need someone right in the middle :)

    It is hard to find that balance - 1 day a week wouldn't be enough for me in the long term. I would probably say about 3 depending on what the plans where. But someone who is upset because you have school 2 nights a week kind of surprises me. I guess at this point in my life - with my interests and my kids - I want someone who needs their time too.

    I like on Eharmony they have one of the guided questions that says something like 'how much personal space do you need a week' I ALWAYS used this question because I have created a nice busy schedule for the kids and I, and there is no possible way I can be with someone 24/7.

    ETA: I should say as a relationship progresses and possibly moves toward marriage/living together, etc. that my time available would change. I am meaning more so early on in the first year or so.

    Thought I'd met a good guy, went out twice, then he has Poofed. Which sucks cause I thought there was some potential.

    So now, back to the dating site... again... ughhhh

    Had a first date with a guy from POF on saturday, have a second date set up for wed. Even though I am just kinda MEH about him right now I thought I would give it a second try and see if anything changes.
