Basically same thing for me, except it was about 3 months ago.iseko said:Broke up a month ago after 3 and a half years
Kind of seeing this girl right now, although we haven't had The Talk about being exclusive yet, so I don't think I'd qualify it as a relationship yet. Not really f*** buddies either; more like hang-out-a-lot-late-at-night-and-occasionally-make-out-and-watch-movies-together. Whatever you call that.
Don't go overboard on that. It's really easy for your happiness and excitement to make you clingy.monkey_man said:
OT: Nah, I'm single by choi... fuck, that's really hard to hold on to. It's the most bullshit that could ever come out of my mouth. I'm single because I've developped a counter-productive attitude towards women. I only like the ones that are top notch and I have low enough self esteem that I make it difficult for myself but high enough self esteem to know I could do it if I tried.
Congrats OP! It's always nice to see someone become happy, beats all the depressing relationship threads we normally get. As for myself no I'm not in a relationship right now, my last one was probably around a year ago or so? Haven't really been seeing any girls seriously. Just a bunch of casual dates with different girls and stuff, I'm not looking for a committed relationship again, I've grown semi sick of them and my last one was kind of a wear by the end
I'm currently single. Judging by how all my previous relationships went though, that's a very good thing.
I apparently attract all the wrong people. Or perhaps I'm attracted to all the wrong people. Maybe a bit of both... in any case, it never works out for me.

Yep, for nearly 2 months now! Turns out my hoping for a intelligent, pretty, geeky, funny (I'll stop now before I make myself throw up) girl shorter than me wasn't as wildly unrealistic as I thought. Score!
I'm happily in a relationship with a girl who I've known for about seven years. I've been with this girl for just over a year now, and I'm loving it. She's really amazing to be with, and I love listening to her and having her there with me. I've never met someone as understanding and caring as she is. I honestly don't know how to fully describe what I feel, but she makes everything seem worth it. I love her so much.
Not at the moment...
I've got this girl I like, but she'd rather be a close friend,so I'm kinda stuck in an infinite loop.
Every time I think I'm over her she reels me in again.
At least I enjoy her company : )

I´ve been in a pretty awesome relationship for the past three years and it´s getting better and better at the moment. It goes up and down, but for now it´s perfect.
Enjoy the butterflies, OP. They don´t last all that long but what comes after can be just as good.

Married seven years as of a last week. ^^monkey_man said:
It all started when I had sex with my best friend. Afterwards we decided to try dating. Then we moved in together. Then we got engaged.
We play games together (mostly tabletop D&D), go dancing together, and we have an interesting and varied sex life that keeps things intense and spicy in the bedroom.
I must say, I am a very happy woman. ^^
Relationshipwise anyway. My job situation could use some fixing, unlikely as that is in this economy....
Yeah... OP, you're kinda young... she's gonna tear your heart out sooner or later. You gotta learn to be cold blooded and have indiscriminate sex with lots of women. That's the right way to do it.
Nope. Not particularly looking for one either. I've got more important priorities in my life. That, and going out to restaurants, clubs, movie theatres, just don't interest me much. (I'd rather cook my own food, or watch movies at home, and I don't drink)
Madara, that's generally bullshit unless someone is so emotionally reactive that they get suicidal over a breakup. Otherwise, the highs and lows that bookend of relationships are not only healthy, but necessary in our development. Yes, it hurts, but so does hardship and death, and we only become aware of how to handle these things through experience.Madara said:
Congrats to you and your lovely, monkey_man. Enjoy the honeymoon and play responsibly. I'll assume that someone else has already given you the safety first speech.
My own situation is... complex, though not uncommon for San Francisco. I've got a girlfriend who plays tabletop games and co-op shooters with me, and we're debating whether or not to take it to a physical level, and neither of us are in a hurry.
Said girlfriend is not the same as the woman with whom I live, who is just a roommate and a long-time friend. (We tried the paramour thing years ago; it lasted years, but we were clearly better friends than lovers.)

To those of you who are single, yet don't want to be, the best places to meet potentials are statistically: school, work, church, friends of family, friends of friends.
Yeah, it sucks for us atheists. Activity groups and ideology groups are good substitutes (focused around, say, hobbies or political activism. Humanist groups count amongst churches).
Note that the local pub isn't on this list. Nor is online gaming.
Neither is Craigslist, though I've met some marvelous people there.

Not at the moment but I have been talking to this girl.
She looks just like Zooey Deschanel. I know right!
I have no idea where it will go. I've been pretty obvious that I like her, but...
