Thats the number of first dates I've had in the last 2-3 months; all of them not worth a repeat date and went practically nowhere. I could tell horror stories about some of them. I wonder if its some kind of record?
This is just the most recent chapter in a rather long dry spell (no sexual contact with anyone, no serious relationships) thats gone on perhaps 3 years or more.

So NS whats your longest dry spell? Got any dating horror stories? Can anyone recall how many people they have 'dumped'?

I don't go on "dates". I'm not interested in people, I'm interested in sex.

Don't worry. You're like one of those crazy foreign countries where there's no rain for nearly a whole year, then a massive flood.

Just a warning. When the dry season ends, be careful not to drown in the downpour of sex. Thats the sort of sticky end no-one should suffer.

14? That's pretty decent, that's like a date a week. You're at least pretty good at chat up lines I guess?

No worries on that, I only have sex with one person at any given time!

I disagree.

Yeah I seem pretty good at getting them to go out with me, I'm just not good at finding ones I'll actually like after the date :P. The woman I took on on thursday night got drunk (who gets drunk on a first date?) and wanted to talk about pot and meth. I haven't returned any of her calls :p.

Whats your dry spell?

I lost my virginity at the age of 24, I think that beats anybody else on here's dry spell.

I don't really consider the space between 0-20 as a dry spell because I just didn't care then.

14 first dates? Damn... I had 3 first dates in the span of about... 2 years.

20 here... thats close to a record these days.

My longest dry spell?
24 years now...and counting.
I have only gone on a date once, and a blind one to boot.
It did not go well.
I have only ever been the dumped one, never the..ehm..dumpeé?

You were the dumpee, never the dumper? After 1 date I tend not to think of it as a dumping because there really is no history so you haven't been dumped yet at least.

I don't go on "dates". I'm not interested in people, I'm interested in sex.

Lol, in other words you get neither? :tongue:

After 14 first dates in 2 months, ever think maybe its you? ;)

After 14 first dates in 2 months, ever think maybe its you? ;)

It is me, I have standards I won't date druggies, smokers, alcoholics, or women without teeth and that seems to be all of them around here.

Don't try so hard. As soon as I gave up giving a crap, I had everyone and his brother paying attention to me.

And when you finally start dating someone, the people who THEN want to go out with you will come out of the woodwork.

The universe is perverse.

It seems no one wants to admit to it.

You were the dumpee, never the dumper? After 1 date I tend not to think of it as a dumping because there really is no history so you haven't been dumped yet at least.

I think I must clarify.
I have only gone on one date,
but have had several relationships, most of them successful.
I always ended up dumped however.

Thats the number of first dates I've had in the last 2-3 months; all of them not worth a repeat date and went practically nowhere.
Statistically speaking, if you had 14 dates, you should have dated at least someone in the top 10%. And if you had cut the "bottom" 30% with druggies etc., that makes it two in the top 10% and one in the top 5%.

Either you've set your demands way above your worth, or the top 10% is avoiding you the same way you avoid druggies. Now, what could it be, and why?

It seems no one wants to admit to it.

Including you! :D

Go on then.

Oh I don't mind admitting it.

still aint seen where you said it mate.:wink:

Go on then.

Well I thought this would go on for at least one my post, but I haven't been on a first date since December, I was set up for one back in January (I think) bailed on me 3 hours before we were meant to meet.

Amusingly enough 14 is also the number of $1 bills in my wallet.

lol coincidence? i think not!

i am impressed with your willingness to keep on after such a string of disasters.

maybe you need to vett these women a bit better before you ask them out.

(i have been married 25 years so "dry spell" doesnt cover it)

To be fair many of these were: It's Spring, I don't have much to do, hey she's cute! The last one was disapointing though.

I'd disagree with that. I haven't dated since I stopped caring. It's at the point now where the entire idea of "a date" seems just odd to me. I guess I'm secretly a romantic as I feel that there should be a degree of spontaneity in finding a relationship and dating strikes me as a series of interviews and business transactions.

I do agree about once you're in a relationship it does seem a lot easier to pick up...another one, so to speak.

And knowing you SaintB that means you have enough money for another 14 dates. :tongue:

Yeah some of those girls at the docks are quite cheap for a quickie.

dates are for 14 year olds desperate to go to the movies

This is just the most recent chapter in a rather long dry spell (no sexual contact with anyone, no serious relationships) thats gone on perhaps 3 years or more.

get this man a 20cc's slag stat!

So NS whats your longest dry spell? Got any dating horror stories? Can anyone recall how many people they have 'dumped'?

1) depends on what you mean by dry spell I can't really maintain serious relationships if thats what you mean but as far as droughts go 3 months and only because I know people

2) have you heard the one about the woman giving your penis a Chinese burn?

3) an embarrassingly low number, I just sorta stop seeing them :$

The woman I took on on thursday night got drunk (who gets drunk on a first date?) and wanted to talk about pot and meth. I haven't returned any of her calls :p.

what? she sounds cool depending on how badly trashed she actually got...

do you meet these women at the homeless shelter and promise a free meal?

And when you finally start dating someone, the people who THEN want to go out with you will come out of the woodwork.

QFT QFT QFT

but then what you can't have is always better

Yeah some of those girls at the docks are quite cheap for a quickie.

I hear the going rate these days is £5 <.< >.>

So NS whats your longest dry spell?

18-and-a-half fucking years.

Next!

Longest dry spell. About 2.5 years without sex :( It was just after I broke up with what I thought was the love of my life - I got all depressed and angsty (and alcoholicy). Funny - it was durring this period that I lived in my car - something I just mentioned in another thread. Yeah girls don't really dig smelly drunks that live in their car.

I'm charismatic and got one of those cute baby faces! :D
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms...

etc.
Anybody actually going to answer my questions in the OP?
Longest dry spell, about a month.

Dating horror stories - eh the lass who brought her little sister along on the second date with, because her parents were away over the weekend. Absolute nightmare.

How many people have I dumped? A couple in college, one at uni. Been dumped by 2 people in college and 1 in school.

from the rest of the thread it sounds like it might help to mix things up a little, stop asking people out just to change up the routine. It sounds counter productive, but I'm not saying stop looking, but maybe look in different places, and without the intent to start dating them right away. Worked for me *shrug*

So NS whats your longest dry spell? Got any dating horror stories? Can anyone recall how many people they have 'dumped'?

1)when are we starting from? somewhere between 2 months and 18 years

2)Yes, it wouldn't fit :eek:

3)none, but I've rejected at least 3 girls before, I don't really date people unless I'm fairly certain I like them already.

I can answer all these questions with one sentence...

"Wow... that's like, 14 more than I've had... ever."

I lost my virginity at the age of 24, I think that beats anybody else on here's dry spell.

nope. ever seen the movie "40 year old virgin"?

I'm close to making that title a reality... by a couple of years.

In real life, that would be very surprising. On the internet, par for the course.

Got any dating horror stories?

MY PSAT proctor told us went on a blind date about 3 weeks ago. When they were at a restaurant, he fooled around and took her drivers license from her purse. Then they forgot about it. The next morning, he got a call from a police station.

About 9 months.

In real life, that would be very surprising. On the internet, par for the course.

then be surprised. :D

I could tell horror stories about some of them. I wonder if its some kind of record?

Possibly, there probably is a world record for that lying around somewhere if you want to look. Are the horror stories amusing or just plain wrong?

So NS whats your longest dry spell?

22 long, annoying years.

Not being rude, but why is that?

My longest dry spell was 2 months the summer before college. In my defense, I went to Europe and was too busy to hook up with European chicks. Its something I regret, so I would like to go back and tour the people, instead of the sights.

Not being rude, but why is that?
never found the right girl... yet.

I've only been on one date in my entire life. Then again, I only date Jewish girls, so simply finding someone I'm willing to date is difficult.

*Begins making plans*

I've been dumped by one boyfriend and one girlfriend, I've broken up with one girlfriend and two boyfriends. So I guess I'm still ahead 3-2, although it's a losing game either way.

Longest dry spell between relationships was... I don't know, six, seven months? I didn't think of it that way, I didn't feel any particular urgency to find someone. That just happened to be the time in between relationships.

You must live in a very strange place.

I had 12 first dates 3 weeks before I met my husband, the last of which was so bad I left before my food got to the table at dinner......in fact I called someone to come get me shortly after he ordered his.

I swore off of men. Prayed to God and told Him that I wasn't going to pay attention to them at all anymore and that if there's one good boy anywhere in the world that I wouldn't know how to find him and that if God wanted to find me one and drop him in my lap I'd chance a date but otherwise I was just going to do without.

That only works if you're remotely sociable.

As for my longest dry spell, 7 years.

As for my dating horror. I have two.

1. There was this one woman who toyed with me, she said that she only wanted to be friends, but then she started going to movies with me, and then came the day when she wanted to take some of her family member to a restaurant with her and me. Well, guess who gets to pay for this all by himself! I told her that I couldn't afford it, and she said "Well you want to be with me right, well you gotta provide for me!"

I basically told her to go fuck herself.

2. I went on a date with this one woman to see "Butterfly Effect" and halfway through the movie, she umm...grabbed my tree trunk and two boulders if you know what I mean.

I got up and left, and I was her ride.

I'm seeing a pattern.

I dunno, maybe I should become more sociable, but I can't keep that up, sooner or later I'd become reclusive again. Maybe if I start knocking on random doors, I could find a reclusive female?

So NS whats your longest dry spell?

18 years, three months.

Three years is impressive though. The first year is the hardest, etc ...

So NS whats your longest dry spell?

Eight years (1992-2000).

After my then-fiancee and I split up in 1992, I was a bit of an emotional mess. That mess was compounded by some unpleasantness from the first woman I was seriously interested in (a couple of years later) that was compounded by us being co-workers, meaning the unpleasantness lasted longer than might have been helpful (neither of us wanted to leave our jobs immediately).

I then went through a phase of overcompensating by trying too hard, which - similar to the experiences of others here - got me nowhere.

The dry spell ended through a combination of alcohol and a lovely Welsh woman. I then went through a (thankfully very) brief period of overcompensating in a different direction by sleeping with anyone who was remotely interested in me before equilibrium and standards returned.

I suspect many people have been through a similar experience, even if specific timelines and details differ.

I haven't dated anyone to date, and I'm 20.

It's more or less been an issue of reciprocation than anything else... which annoys the fuck out of me, since I can't do a damn thing, but that's life.

Can I be the next one you dump?! :fluffle::hail:

Sorry, I'm dating girls this round. Next time!

Kidding. I don't actually try to date just guys or girls at any time, it's happened that I always alternate. Maybe because I break up with a guy and think "fuck men, men are idiots" and then break up with a girl and think, "fuck women, women are crazy!"
