I guess I'm an "other."

Long term relationship, currently monogamous (though we've been "open" in the past), dreading the shadow of a possible proposal that is falling over our otherwise-kickass situation.

Who?

If you had been in the babe thread recently, you'd know who he was talking about! :p

I'm currently single, and hating it as well.

My (now ex) girlfriend broke my heart a couple of months ago completely out of the blue, and I haven't really recovered yet. That might have had something to do with us trying to be friends, but I've just finally realised that you can't be friends with your ex (Yeah, I know, I'm slow!), and so I told her that I can't speak to her anymore, at all. Things were getting awkward anyway.

I really loved her. More than anything in the world. But she changed, and I just now realised I didn't miss her anymore ... I missed the girl that I had first fallen in love with.

So I told her this, and I also told her that I don't care who she next falls in love with, or who she ends up marrying, and that I don't care how much they tell her that they love her ... No one will ever love her as much as I do.

believe me whatever she chooses she will always remember that. :)

I'm in a really weird sort of relationship with a girl I'm good friends with. We're both very fond of each other, but have no idea if we could work as a couple. So we're just in a sort of limbo of friends/more than friends.

I'm in 7th grade, dating a girl. (So I'm not engaged or married) Dating my best friend's (Gordon, see my posts in your heroes thread, couldn't get exact thread name) older sister.

OOC: Description of relationship:
She's the greatest person I have ever gone out with. We give eachother notes in the halls, cause she's in 8th grade, before we ever leave eachother to go to our classes we give eachother a hug. We call eachother everyday. It's going great for the both of us, and I hope it lasts 'til the end of the year. Today (September 30) was supposed to be our school dance, and I wanted to go with her, but she had to go on a family holiday **coughs**camping**coughs**. So I got nuttin to do tonight. Anyhoo, I hope our relationship doesn't end 'til the end of the school year cause she's gotta go to High School and I gotta go to 8th grade. But I wander if she'd keep the relationship, even in HS.

Single and working on the capacity to be in a relationship. The thing is, people enter into relationships for the wrong reasons. People get this idea that there is something missing from their life and seek out someone else to fill the void. Strangely enough, the person they hook up with is looking for the same thing. As a result, you wind up with two people that have less than they started with.

Really though, the only way to be in a successful relationship is to already have a full life and want to share the bounty of your life with someone else.

I'm the stereotypical nerd: Pathetically single for 19 years and counting.

EDIT: Though recently in a party a miracle happened: An attractive girl who was at least relatively sober came and asked me to go dancing. Well, she didn't so much ask as grind herself against me, but dancing was implied. It could have been a possible end to my aforementioned status, but I valiantly defended my singlehood with the immortal line, "dancing isn't my thing".

I loathe myself...

Hang in there, I'm a card carrying geek but I managed to find me a wonderful woman who even agreed to marry me.

As for me, engaged with the wedding to be in August 2006. The problem being (and the irony of our situation) is that she is Japanese and currently living in America, whereas I'm American and am currently living in Japan. Long distance relationships SUCK!

Yeah, I know she will.

I hope that one day we can be together again ... But I won't hold my breath over it! If it's meant to happen, then it will. But if it's not, then I'll move on and find someone else who does want to be with me.

And if we aren't one day together again, I hope I don't lose her completely from my life. During the time we were together she became one of my best friends, as well as being my girlfriend. But if I didn't have a break from seeing her, or talking to her, then we could have ended up as enemies, which would have been a tragedy.

I'll call her sometime next year, when I feel I can be her friend, and we'll see if it can work that way, but I'll only do that when I'm confident I can handle it ... No matter how much I want to call her before then! :p

I'm sort of in a relationship and sort of not. It's a bit of a weird situation. I'm in love with a guy, but he's going to Uni over in the States at the moment, so we don't get to see each other. I told him that the whole 'long-distance relationship' thing was probably not the most fabulous idea and that he shouldn't feel any obligation to me, but he was and is insistent (for the past few years, in fact) that he's found what he wants and is going to feel obligated to me no matter what I say. Which is fine by me, since I AM in love with him, but it was unexpected.

But we both agreed that we can screw whoever we want while we're apart as long as we're safe, and it all seems to be working for now. It's a pretty odd situation, but it does seem to be working for both of us.

Ah, that's sad.

We're not quite like that though, whatever we decide, we're still going to be friends. The problem is that I'm nonsexual and she's never been laid. So yeah, I think we're kind of holding out for when she loses her virginity or something, but either way, I'm not that arsed, because what we have is still good.

I'm single and ambivalent. Knowing the pain that relationships cause and how they make life more difficult, I'm satisfied when I read about the many unsuccessful ones that I have never encountered something like this. At the same time, it's kind of sad that I have no-one at all to talk to. Even my psychologists are all driven to suicide.

I don't hate myself for being single, I just am not all too interested in relationships. I don't even find myself attracted to any members of the opposite sex (or the same sex for that matter), although I suspect that I'm heterosexual.

heh yeah, except here, rather than read about unsuccesful relationships, i get to see my friends fall blindly into them. i mean i've had two friends who've had even vaguely long-term girlfriends, and both of the relationships have turned out horrifically - and i lived with one of the couples for a year too (that was scary i can tell ya)

though i do wish i could at least sample what its like :(
to have someone who knows & understands me, who cares about me, who i'm comfortable just being with... i get kinda freaked out even around friends nowadays, so this is becoming less and less likely

see my problem is i'm attracted to girls, but i have no idea how to express it. i have no 'passion' - or at least not on the outside. then there's the whole nervousness thing, and i can't dance to save my life... so i've now pretty much given up all together :(
edit: what makes it worse is the feeling that no woman could ever be interested in me, and not being able to recognise any signals when they are... i sat next to, hung out with and was good friends with a girl who fancied me (it has now become apparent) for 4 years at school, and i didn't pick up so much as a hint of interest :headbang:

Given that the poll is looking like showing the comfortable majority as being single, and of them a majority disliking that status, would it be fair to assume that this is to an extent accountable for the popularity of the 'Paradise Club' and its various incarnations? It's an idea I've never really been able to get into. But it perhaps makes a little more sense in the context of these poll results.

Relationships are stupid. All they bring are pain and suffering, along with self-pity.

Besides, you have to trust everyone. How can you trust someone when everyone lies? Trust is death.

I'm on the verge of asking out my ex-girlfriend again, I know for a fact that she likes me from her body language but I'm playing it cool for the moment until I decide what I want to do. We're still very good friends and I'm not sure if I'm willing to risk losing her for good if we split up again.

I'm sort of in a relationship and sort of not. It's a bit of a weird situation. I'm in love with a guy, but he's going to Uni over in the States at the moment, so we don't get to see each other. I told him that the whole 'long-distance relationship' thing was probably not the most fabulous idea and that he shouldn't feel any obligation to me, but he was and is insistent (for the past few years, in fact) that he's found what he wants and is going to feel obligated to me no matter what I say. Which is fine by me, since I AM in love with him, but it was unexpected.

But we both agreed that we can screw whoever we want while we're apart as long as we're safe, and it all seems to be working for now. It's a pretty odd situation, but it does seem to be working for both of us.
I don't know how it feels but I'm sure I am going to experience this. I'm in 7th grade and my girlfriend's in 8th grade, but soon to high school and me in 8th grade. If we hold out long enough we might break up, but I NEVER want to, so if we still date, when she's in high school and Im stuck in middle school, it will be a LD relationship, and I don't want that. Luckily, her brother is my best(est) friend and I can find out what's going on, on top of that, call her all the time. This is the girl I truly love and I don't want our relationship to end, I want to marry her and grow old with her. So, I might be going through the same situation too. But I just want to think about the present and not the future.

Why did you agree to screw other people, when you have a BF? That seems like having affairs even though your BF allows it? :confused:

That's just what we agreed on. Both of us being male, we decided it was a pretty stupid (and completely unworkable) idea to stay sexually monogamous while we have the Pacific Ocean separating us. Celibacy appealed to neither of us, so we agreed that we could have sex with other people while we're not together. It's no big deal really.

see my problem is i'm attracted to girls, but i have no idea how to express it. i have no 'passion' - or at least not on the outside. then there's the whole nervousness thing, and i can't dance to save my life... so i've now pretty much given up all together :(
edit: what makes it worse is the feeling that no woman could ever be interested in me, and not being able to recognise any signals when they are... i sat next to, hung out with and was good friends with a girl who fancied me (it has now become apparent) for 4 years at school, and i didn't pick up so much as a hint of interest :headbang: This is called being male.

heh yeah, except here, rather than read about unsuccesful relationships, i get to see my friends fall blindly into them. i mean i've had two friends who've had even vaguely long-term girlfriends, and both of the relationships have turned out horrifically - and i lived with one of the couples for a year too (that was scary i can tell ya)

though i do wish i could at least sample what its like :(
to have someone who knows & understands me, who cares about me, who i'm comfortable just being with... i get kinda freaked out even around friends nowadays, so this is becoming less and less likely

see my problem is i'm attracted to girls, but i have no idea how to express it. i have no 'passion' - or at least not on the outside. then there's the whole nervousness thing, and i can't dance to save my life... so i've now pretty much given up all together :(

I just don't feel attracted to them at all. I don't think I've ever felt attracted to anybody -- male or female. Physically, anyway.

They're a sign that you trust somebody, and trusting a member of another sentient species is usually not the best idea. I know, from experience.

Married. We never saw it as a necessary step (it's quite common especially in Scandinavian countries for people to have very long-term/permenant relationships without feeling the need to get married), then one day a couple of years ago, we suddenly thought -hmm, it's a good excuse for getting all our friends/family together at once and having a big party!

But, it's nice to be married as well... although I don't think it's made any real difference to our relationship (well, i guess my wife's surname... ).

Single, and quite enjoying the lack of commitment, but quite dissatisfied with the lack of smooching. I know that is terrible thing to say but that is how it has been lately.

Although commitment is not a bad thing. It has just been so long since I haven't had it is kind of not to for a while. I probably wouldn't avoid it though if the situation presented itself (and I liked her).
