A question posed to the community at large. Hopefully I have made it a topic that does not promote such comments like: "Never been in one, FML." I see a lot of people on this website who reject relationships entirely, and while some people have genuine reasons as to why they do not, others, I suspect, simply fall into this category because they have not had success with those who they would wish to pursue romantically or sexually. I am not here to judge, and I am not here to debate the merits of a relationship. And, to add an element of complexity, do not view this from a purely sexual viewpoint, view it also as having a companion. So, as the title states, if you had the choice of being in a relationship, would you?

Yepyep. It's always nice when there's someone there but I don't jump into relationships with any old person. There has to be a connection both physically and mentally.RollForInitiative said:
Hell yes, because it would be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. [/angst]
Also, I would view it from an entirely un-sexual view point, as I've never liked it.

No.
I don't want to be in a relationship, I think love is worthless.
EDIT: To add reason:
Relationships always in end, in death, break ups, or divorce (anyone who knows where it's from will get a high-five and a cupcake), and it will usually end in tears.
And it's expensive, and I'm a cheap bastard.

OP's acting like it's a life or death situation. As long as you're happy, I don't think anyone would say no to that, unless they're a sociopath.

Why do you think that?
Aha, you say everyone would say yes, but already two people have refused. And as a disclaimer, I am currently in a very happy relationship, I just had to be very specific in my question so I didn't get a lot of angsty posts.Cheery Lunatic said:

I wholeheartedly agree. I waited several years after my last relationship before I found somebody that really piqued my interest. Quality over quantity.Colour-Scientist said:
As always, it would depend on the person. For the right person, of course I'd want to be in one. But I wouldn't want to be in one just for the sake of being in one.
I'm not one of those people who dates incessantly in a desperate attempt to find "the one". I'm more of "it'll happen when it happens" kind of person.

Nope, I tried a relationship for relationship's sake, and it was doomed to failure. She was the one who left me, but I shouldn't have pretended to feel something for her in the first place.
If there was a genuine connection though, why not? It'd be nice to experience the real thing before making a judgement.

Yeah, sounds like fun. What else am I supposed to say "No, I'm a loner, no furking relationships for me"? I'm not that much of a douche... Yet.
This. And may I say I don't want to contradict myself but I think I love you.TheYellowCellPhone said:
Nobody ever thinks about the financial sides. I don't invite people to eat, I can barely stand paying for myself!
So basically... no (<- miracles excluded). I tried it and it's really nothing for me.
I am in a relationship and I'm shamefully looking for ways to get out so I'd have to say I wouldn't.
I'm the type of person who desperately needs their own space, gets viciously jealous over stupid reasons, and determinedly seeks out arguments. Relationships just bring out the worst in me.
