Admin	does length of time since last relationship matter? Posted : 19 Oct, 2010 09:02 PM OK, so I've already mentioned in a post earlier today that I haven't dated in a while (5 years this December, but who's counting) - and , no, I don't count meeting for the first time for 10-minute coffee to check each other out as a date. Seems like I remember reading or hearing somewhere that a long length of time since your last date or relationship is considered a bad thing to a potential dating partner. What do you think?

Posted : 21 Oct, 2010 07:22 AM Yeah, I get the whole "What do you mean, you've only dated one person, and aren't dating anyone right now? Why not?" And then they act like it's MY fault. Come on...what am I supposed to do? Beat a guy up and force him to date me? :boxing: :ROFL: In March (when I WAS seriously dating someone), my sister told a few of her friends that my bf and I were getting pretty serious...not engaged, but moving that way. One of her friends said "You mean she would actually consider MARRYING the first guy she has ever dated? Shouldn't she date a bunch of other guys before picking one?" At that, one of the guys in the group, who dated this girl before she broke up with him, responded with "Well, some girls date TOO MANY guys, you know." Quality, not quantity, is what matters to me. And if it takes a good bit of time between those quality guys, so be it. Sorry, that was a little off topic! Post Reply

ME TOO. I think a lot of the reason why people think it's so strange is because they wonder how on earth we girls can be single because we "need" someone, as if we're weak and incomplete without a man in our life. And I think that is also why people think it's the "women's lib" movement talking when we say we're independent. We shouldn't be so dependent on men that we jump from man to man to man. We SHOULD be independent until we find the man on whom we are to depend for the rest of our lives. So you know what everyone who asks me what's wrong with me can do? They can BITE ME! :yay::ROFL::angeldevil::peace::dancingp::rocknroll::boxing: @GL. I love how you put that. It's so true! @BC. I wish I could remember the exact line, but what I love in the show Boy Meets World (yes, I do still watch it :laugh:) is how devoted Cory and Topanga are, even if they are annoying. But I remember when Cory's mom Amy was saying they needed to date other people and yada yada because it was "unhealthy" for them to be with the same one person forever and ever without going "out in the world" first or however she put it, Topanga said something so perfect. I don't remember the exact line so it won't be as good, but I'll paraphrase. "I don't want to date other boys. I love Cory. And I don't think it's a bad thing that only I want to do all the things people do who are in love with him." YOU GO GIRL! :yay: And yes they did get married and yes they did wait until they were married to have sex. That's why I think it's such a great show. I know it's a little off topic, but they discuss a lot of big issues and put a very moral light on a lot of it, although like with all shows, there is some immorality in it too. Post Reply

Posted : 21 Oct, 2010 07:44 PM Usually following the "You've been single HOW long?" is the "So what do you do for your "needs"?" she-wiz people, mind ya business! I don't do anything for my "needs"! It's only a need if you dwell on it - God has taken that away from me cause I prayed it away! I'll pray it back when I get married :) cowgirl - great show; I loved it back in the day :) Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	does length of time since last relationship matter? Posted : 22 Oct, 2010 04:24 PM Well, I've only been single for a year, but my roommate is engaged. He makes a bigger deal about me being single than I do. I think he just wants me to get a girlfriend so the four of us can go on double dates. His fiancee is the president of the Christian sorority on campus, so you'd think he would have set me up by now. Post Reply

Posted : 22 Oct, 2010 10:53 PM I waited awhile before dating after my divorce...I wanted to heal the wounds so as not to inflict them on others or get into a rebound relationship where more hurt on both sides is almost inevitable.
