Are you single or not ?

[ghalleon0915]

Engaged and taken, and in a long distance relationship. She's Aussie, I'm a Canuck, so it's a very long distance indeed ( traveling back and forth is horrendous) although we spend 3-6 months out of the year together. Currently figuring out who will live where ( frankly I'm sick of -40 C and I love me some scuba diving off the Gold Coast).

As an aside, LDR are much easier now than before with various different was to keep in touch (Skype, you are a godsend) so don't let that put you off prematurely. Patience, as with most things, is the key.

I have a body-size pillow with Yatzhee's face sewed onto it, so I don't if that counts .....
otherwise, I'm single....

I can't remember the last time I WAS single.

I think I was 16? I just go from relationship to relationship.

However, I have a wonderful person who I am currently in a long distance relationship with (she has to finish her degree, and I finished mine so I am in China learning Chinese for her family) and she'll return here and we'll have lots of pretty mixed babies.

We talk twice per day, we play Civ together and we watch the same TV shows. But most importantly, we both keep ourselves stupid busy; her because she is a hard worker, and me because "idle hands are the devils' plaything". I thought it would be hard to have a long distance relationship, but since I've meet her, I genuinely don't find most girls I meet attractive compared to her.

Yes, I am single... I am always ready to mingle... and, if I'm reading one's bio correctly, I would "suck your dingle", whatever that fucking means... *shrugs*

But seriously, I've been "single" since birth... I've had one crush but I never told them and, later on, someone did have a crush on me, but never told me... Also, I feel like I would treat my relationships the same way I treat my friendships; with minimal [verbal] calling unless we're going somewhere and/or planning to go somewhere, no acts of PDA unless we're hugging one another, and everything else would be almost platonic outside of talking about the latest hentai-related thing we saw online or something like that... (Still not sure how I feel about that, though...)

Anyway, on an unrelated related note, some random girl [I don't know] called me yesterday and gave me her phone number... I don't even...

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

Single and desperate. Haven't been in a relationship since 2002, so no serious ones.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Single and have accepted my fate in regards to it. I'm just one if those oddities that hasn't gone out with anybody and probably never will, other people will never be able to draw incredibly well their entire life, you get some you lose some. Pretty shit since the economy demands a virgin sacrifice every month to the rod of capitalism to make ends meet, how I can afford cell data I'll never know.

 

[hickwarrior]

Single, never been in a relationship. Then again, I tend to keep to myself a lot. As well as being generally lazy, so I guess that doesn't help.

 

[Daft Ada]

Mostly single until a few years ago when I met my (now) fiancee. We get married next August! I always kept myself to myself and any time I did like a girl I pretty much obsessed over them and 'what could be' and probably scared them off. When I met my missus I wasn't interested initially cos she was a smoker and that's a deal-breaker for me, but we eventually started spending more time together and when I gambled on asking her out she surprisingly said yes! My confidence has never been amazingly high so I still don't know quite how I managed to find someone like her. She's a few years younger than me, incredibly beautiful, very loving, and enjoys gaming.

Nah i've been single almost my entire life. I did try the whole girlfriend thing once but when the first thought that naturally came to mind after a first date is "what a waste of time, I could have finished that anime instead" you know you should jump ship now. It was the cleanest split you have ever seen too.

I'm not against having a girlfriend exactly but I found the effort to keep a relationship going to not be worth it. It would take a hell of a woman to break me out of that mindset. Thinking about it, I would prefer a long distance relationship so I wouldn't feel obligated to spend loads of time with her (yes I am aware that sentence sounds awful) and I make my best jokes behind a keyboard.

 

[1Life0Continues]

Married one year, separated same length of time, no sign of when that will change.

Immigration to Australia is for rich people it would seem.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Always been single. I went on a date once but nothing came of it.

I don't really see myself as being able to make time for a relationship at this point. I want to start trying after I graduate.

 

[JagermanXcell]

Taken. First time too!

We've been together since February of last year. Origin wise, I met her at one of my best friend's birthday party. She was beautiful, albeit incredibly socially awkward, but something about her demeanor was very charming. That and at the time, she had red dyed hair in a bun which pretty much triggered my mind to think: CUUUUUUUTE! Wasn't confident enough to get her number but she dug me there enough to actually pillage through Facebook and find me! (.... I sort of did the same too but man was it significantly harder.) It was in that moment of befriending her on FB that I asked if she wanted to go out for ice cream and play vidja gamz. 2 dates later, I score my very first kiss...
...
it felt about as good as I expected... maybe even more than that...

Spoiler

Post first few dates, she became more open, to where we discovered many things about each other (both good and bad) that pretty much sealed the deal in that our relationship would be one of great length, longing, and true understanding... and fun, can't forget that. We've been inseparable ever since.

The Escapist 2014 census continues?

I've had a ball and chain been in a stable loving relationship for nearly five years now, continuing to smash my previous record. We moved in after a year and one year ago took the leap of getting a mortgage and buying a place. Long may we shuffle in harmony.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Been single for a couple of years.

Why? Know any cuties who have a thing for vets?

Out of curiosity, do you mean veterans or veterinarians? Either way, that seems pretty cool.

OT: I'm currently single. Not really looking for a relationship right now, but not averse to the concept of being in one.

Veteran.

Damn, no constant access to cute animals then?

Deal breaker.

OP: I have my old ball and chain, we've been together for about a year now.

Unfortunately, it's longish distance at the moment so we only see each other every few weeks (and there have been one or two longer gaps). It makes things pretty difficult sometimes but hopefully it'll be coming to an end soon.

I never thought I'd be one to last in a long distance relationship, I probably wouldn't do it for anyone else.

God, that's so gross and soppy.

Don't tell him I said that. XD

It is too late. I have seen everything..

I knew you had feelings for me, it was just a matter of getting past your cold stoney exterior to the slightly warmer, stoney interior.

 

[lacktheknack]

Single 4 lyfe.

Maybe. I was in a not-serious relationship for a few months, but due to recent events, I've officially stuck "romance" on the backest of backburners. I've been happier ever since, really. The amount of pressure that society puts on people to get a girlfriend and/or get laid is a bit ridiculous. xD

 

[Jesterscup]

WoW

"it's complicated"

Recently separated after 16 years with my partner/wife .....

I don't think I can claim to be 'single' per se yet... so I'll stick with being a sex object for millions ( ok ok tens... )

 

[Fdzzaigl]

25 years of being single, except for a few short-lived affairs.

Not gonna lie, I've sort of had enough of it, but it's come to the point where it's been ages since I last "crushed" on anyone.

Last time I did, I could've entered a relationship with her. But that would have meant destroying her steady, ongoing 8-year long relationship, which she herself wasn't sure about breaking up either. So I didn't do that.
Still wonder whether that was the right decision, but ah well.

 

[angelrubio]

I just ended my 2 year relationship and started a new life as a forever single man. I am casually dating various girls (openly and with honesty) and my life is great. Would recommend to all those guys in need of a change in their life to at least check some RSD videos on youtube or read something about attraction and self growth, it can help so freaking much...
