    After my first relationship, a brief two-week thing, I was single for about a week. So, the longest I have been single for (not accounting for the first 15 years, obviously) has been one week. I imagine being single now as a 19 y/o is very different from being a single young-un back in high school.

    24 years. Up until January of this year.I finally became comfortable enough with myself to even think of dating. In a very happy relationship at the moment though. :)

    I was single for 4 1/2 years. I am in a recent relationship (month and a half). It was easy to stay single that long because I don't like most people. It was easy to stay by myself.

    Do one night stands in a foreign port of call count as, 'not single'? :bigsmile:

    10 years. When I divorced my husband 16 years ago, I dated a little, but then I realized that I wanted to focus on raising my son and devoting my time to him. So, for 10 years I didn't go out with anyone.

    July it will be 3 years.... but I'm not really sure I should count it as a relationship considering it only lasted 6 weeks, and the last 2 weeks of that were because I felt bad that I didn't want to be with him! :ohwell:

    Since I started dating seriously as an adult, 6 months. >_> I used to feel like I was worthless if I was single (yay self-worth issues), but I have the say the longer I go the better I feel. Therapy helps. xD Not rushing back out onto the dating scene this time, because I keep ending up with manipulative a-holes.

    Never. Every once in a while I wonder if I missed out on some kind of fundamental development because of it but for the most part it's great.

    Basically never. I've been with my husband since I was 17, married when we were 20-21. We are now divorcing after 20 years, which should be final in 2 days. BUT, I still don't consider myself single since I am in a relationship.

    OK mine is for between adult relationships. Since my first relationship was at 22 (i'm really shy)! There was a break of 4 months between my first and second relationships with a brief one night relapse between the two relationships :blushing: ANYWAYS...I'm now married to my second relationship and we've been going for over 3 years now (married for over 2). And I couldn't ask for a better man to be with :love:
