Hiya escapists.

What the title says, basically.
How many girlfriends/boyfriends have you had?
One night stands don't count.

You're free to tell us any entertaining stories from your relationships while we're at it.

0. But that is solely my fault for not really trying. Recently, I've slowly warmed up to the idea of trying to find a significant other, but yeah, emphasis on slowly.

I voted 4-6, I've been in relationships pretty much since I was like 16 and I'm 20 now.

Jonluw:

One night stands don't count.

Depends what you mean by relationship, does a relationship require you to be together more than one night?
Anyway I've had one night stands become relationships, they count right? :3

1, and it was enough to turn me off of the idea of relationships. A fling or one night stand, I'll go for. A relationship, not for a while.

Well, of course they do.

I've been in two.

The first one only lasted about two months and ended in a rather less-than-steallar manner to say the least. The second one I'm still currently in, and both my boyfriend and I are still pretty happy together so I don't see this one crashing down anytime soon.

Nearly 19 and so far I've been in 0000000000.0 relationships.

Redundant? Maybe.

Better than just posting foreveralone.jpg though.

Daystar Clarion:
Just the one.

And 9 years later, I'm still with that lovely girl :D

Yes. I'm a stud.

I don't mind you worshipping me.

You made me laugh, +1 internets for you (or whatever people say nowadays)

OT: How many have you had OP and what spurred you to ask this question?
Also if I had to predict the poll results I forsee a lot of 0s

John Connor M:
OT: How many have you had OP

lim x→∞ √(φ)/x

and what spurred you to ask this question?

Boredom.

7-10, only 3 of them were vaguely serious though. The others were doomed to failure from the beginning.

It'll be interesting to see the results once a few more people have voted on them. At the moment there are quite a lot of low answers, but I'd have thought it'll get higher once the sample is representative.

0. Still looking for "that one". Yeah I'm 16 and ignorant and I refuse to give up on "the one".

I've had countless failures to start a relationship, and one nightmarish two week thing ending in a betrayal that even Albert Wesker would consider too cruel.

Aside from a couple of times when I suddenly became stupid, that was the last time I seriously tried. I'm ugly as hell, I ain't just playing the dating game on hard mode, I'm playing it like it was dark souls. It just ain't worth the effort and inevitable humiliation and pain to me.

Still in second one.
You can't always get it right first time. :)

Are you just trying to see how much misogyny you can get away with?
We get it. You hate women.

I've been in more "relationships" than I can wiggle a cat at.

Not including one night stands (I honestly couldn't tell you how many i've had I can't remember).

Technically not "proper" relationships but 2 week long relationships while I was on leave and then back off to the army I went.

"Long term" relationships i've had 9. Ranging from a few months to a couple of years.

Longest is my wife who i've been with for 8 years and is the only lass i've never cheated on (yay achievement).

I've been a man whore and in all honesty .... it's been a great life.

First one was a insane stoner chick I dated in high school. Lots of pot and sex with her, was fun while it lasted but i'm not a super crazy and party hard kind of person so it had to end eventually.

Second was a crazy woman that I didn't find out was ridiculously religious and wouldn't have sex until we were married. She wanted a kid and to get married when we had only been dating for 2 months. I was out of there.

Third (the one i'm in), is pretty awesome. We both game and even play the same games sometimes. We both value each others privacy and don't need to always be in each others business to be happy. We do argue from time to time but that's all healthy relationships. I doubt this is the one to last forever but it'll be nice while it lasts.

You don't like it, don't leave a quote. Don't get some kind of special badge for pointing it out. Get that misogyny word out like a gunslinger. That your go to word when people don't have your opinins on this kind of stuff. Your in need of a special word as well thats sums you up as a whole, Scruffydiloutos. In my head that made up word means, one who labels people.

Sorry, you think saying that you hate women is not misogyny?
Misogyny:
noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.

Shawn MacDonald:
can't make my brain take the word relationship with anything but a grain of salt. Make it more realistic and say that I have dated hookers that knew my name and where I lived. it was pretty much like dating a hooker. Was me buying them food and and stuff in exchange for sex. me and the hookers got along if that makes you feel any better in calling them hookers. Always saw a girlfriend as being a thing you put money into in exchange for sexual favors. Saw horrible movies with them that I paid for, dinners that I bought, whats the difference? Horrible reality is that love is just a word we use to bash the guys that actually go to hookers because they just sex with no drama.

You're dating the wrong women if all they are to you are investments in return for sex.

I'm currently in my 5th . Seriously though , relationships are overated . I'm starting to believe that i am not one for relationships , usually after a year i get bored ( i know this is a terrible thing to say , but hey i'm a terrible person ). When this relationship fails , and i know it will , i'm out . I'm hanging up my jersey and dedicating myself to becoming a hermit .

Shawn MacDonald:

You know, I think it would be better to just let you have whatever opinion you want to have of me and move on.

Yes, clearly the one judging people unfairly is me.... you must tell me where you bought your anti-reality shield.

Dating is such a touchy subject for so many people. Is more love therapists on here than I can count. More people must show me the way in which I can copy them to be happy.

Oh whatever makes you happy, but saying women are nothing more than blackholes that suck up your money and you can stick your schlong in to every once in awhile is all kinds of wrong. Just sayin

It's at least four. I don't really count the ones that happened before college. Not because I think high school romance isn't real, but mine in particular were rather ridiculous. I dated a girl for one hour. We went from lovey-dovey to "fuck you and your stupid face" in that amount of time. And the other pre-college one was just...weird. Yeah...so four is the number of girls I've dated. And the number of girls I've dated is four.

0. I shy away from social contact. All social contact. I wouldn't even speak to my parents if I didn't live in their basement at the moment.

I'm 27 and have been single most of my life. I'm your typical parent's basement nerd who sits around and plays video games of all day. Back in 2008 I tried my hand at dating and surprisingly dated 3 separate women all within the same year. One of those actually became my now ex-girlfriend. She was completely insane.

I think I will try my hand at dating again once I get my shit together over the course of a few years. I fucked up college and still live at home, but about to take classes. Then perhaps I will set some time aside to focus on the ladies.

Technically, I've only had one which lasted about 9 months I think, it ended last month.

There was one time a few years back when I was given a chance but it wasnt really considered a proper relationship to the girl and only lasted 2 days, we're friends still now though. I don't think it really counts.

At least I can't complain now that I have never had a girlfriend and now I know that it is at least possible for someone to be attracted to me. Luckily this first relationship and life in general for the past year has made me more social and open so it may be easier getting into another relationship later.

The first relationship taught me a lot at least and I got some lessons out of it and learnt a bit more about myself.

I'm kinda glad to be out of it at the moment at least since I can't deal with all the drama since she was very, very depressive and had some major problems and just complained almost constantly about something. She broke up with me by the way.

I'm 19 and I've been in only one relationship, and we're still good friends.

I'm 19 and I've had 0. To be honest, I don't even know where to begin to start. Its supposedly something that everyone is just supposed to "know" and fuck all who don't. I had a group of friends in high school, and we hung around all the time and had lots of fun, but then graduation.......and now I'm sitting in my room on the internet every day, can't find a job, and have zero interest/idea in what I want to go to school for. I'm kind of lost to be honest. I mean, I don't have anyone to talk to for help on the subject of anything, so.....yea zero. And probably going to be zero indefinitely due to how unlucky I've been so far in life.

Went for 7-10, although realistically only 4 were long enough to really qualify as "relationships"...the rest were 2-4 weekers that ended fairly abruptly. I sat on the fence deciding whether to count them or not, and eventually went with "yes", because it makes me sound more awesome.
