    18 years? hahaha, yeah, I've never had a boyfriend. I always push others boys, because I think they're not gonna like me because I'm fat... But, I'm not unhappy being like this.

    A couple months, officially, though it was really over long before that. We were together for five years and were supposed to get married last June. Yeahh... it was pretty much mutual. He was tired of me and took me for granted and I was tired of being taken for granted. My moving out here was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    I started dating pretty much right away. Since it was on the rocks for so long I don't think I really need much recovery time. I'm in no rush to get into a relationship again but I figure it wouldn't hurt my people skills and I need something to do on my one day off from work so it might as well be a date. I'm on okcupid and went out with a guy the other night that I really liked so we shall see.

    8 years since divorce (after 14 yrs of marriage). 1.8 years since last relationship (which lasted 2 yrs)... reason it ended doesn't matter. It's over.... plenty of dates since, but haven't felt a spark. It's not worth it without the spark.

    I've only ever had two three/four month-long relationships. And the last one was when I was sixteen and I'm currently twenty. I'm much too shy and not as attractive as other girls, so guys aren't interested hahah. Ah, well. I'll find someone eventually. It does kind of bother me, but I don't want to be in a relationship simply to "be in a relationship." I want romance and passion. Is that expecting too much? Hahaha

    In two days, it will be 13 years. And I like it like that.
    That was one hell of a divorce!

    It's awesome that you still count :-P

    It's been three years for me since the marriage, one serious bf since and that was over 12 months ago.

    About three years. I am very happy being single but my friends cant understand it and are always trying to set me up with people. I wonder why it is that people get uncomfortable when people say they are happy being single.

    They want you to be as miserable as they are. :bigsmile:

    Reading this has made me feel a lot better about never having had a boyfriend at age 19. I get scared if ever I like someone and end up pushing them away. I think I need to improve my confidence and feel happier with who I am before I'm able to get close to someone.

    I've been happily single for 2 months now, just got out of a year long relationship. I'm only 24, have an absolutely amazing job and am fully concentrating on building a killer career. My boyfriend was pushing me to settle down and generally being unsupportive of my ambitions, so he had to go. When I was away traveling on business he got so whiny and clingy, it was infuriating. He would text, call, email, Facebook, Skype, etc all the damn time and then proceed to get pissy when I wouldn't respond immediately. So glad to be away from that.

    I'm not really looking for a relationship right now and honestly part of me thinks I'll end up alone, which I'm OK with. It seems like a lot of the men I meet are intimidated my my ambitions and goals for the future. I'm going to be running my own company in the next 3 to 5 years and I'm not really interested in settling down and having a family anytime soon, if ever.

    I've only been single for a week, but before that it had been many years! I don't *like* being single because I love having a relationship and someone to nuggle with and talk about our days and watch tv, but at the same time, I'd rather be single than in a bad relationship.
