I am at the age of 25 and never had a proper relationship and only dated girls for about a month at a time. I am thinking i need to at least try to experience a relationship some time soon.

[opusink]

engaged at 23. best decision evarr.

[Ken]

None.

[TUROK]

Involuntarily celibate.

Oh, and I'm 22. Will be 23 this October.

[dekline]

First serious relationship I had with a girl was for 3 years and then I accidentally got her pregnant.

Still waiting on the baby. Scared out of my mind but i'm going to stick with it.

edit..I should add that i'm only 21

[Canis lupus]

Same problem as you, never lasts long lol.

[strafer]

Single since the day I was born.

[Plywood]

21 - none

Beta as fuck.

[Emily Chu]

Only had one real girlfriend @ age 24 for about 6 -7 months when she lived with me
best part was that we had sex multiple times everyday bareback and raw.
We actually loved each other at one point though for the first 3-4 months then it fell apart into hell and drama.

She was 27 African American, Irish, dutch and Chinese.

until we broke up last summer : (

never had one before that

thats about it

had a bunch of ONS and sexual flings though with transexuals, girls and one feminine guy (experimented with in college)

twas awrright.

now that I've dropped out of college (about 3 years ago) and don't have a real job but instead make my income though day trading stocks online
friends and or girls to form relations with ain't easy to come by
kinda sucks

[Dilly]

Add me to the forever alone clan.

[Natetan]

yeah man, i was just like you in to my 30's. Part of the reason i never got into a real relationship was because i was sort of holding out for someone which was stupid.

Now i'm in a relationship. I held out for a really long time waiting for the perfect person and messing around mostly. Casual sex gets really old though, and i'm really enjoying being with someone who cares about me. Not perfect match, but that doesn't mean we are a total mismatch or something.

I think modern society thinks we should only seriously consider someone who is a perfect match for us or even has tons of hobbies or even politics with you. I'd say it really depends on your situation. If you can enjoy being with someone who doesnt have all those things, then why not?

[G-Fex]

28
I never had a relationship

I had a fling with a cougar but I guess that wouldn't count.

[rhfb]

Add me to the forever alone clan.

You say forever alone like it is a bad thing! I've also never had a relationship, but honestly I don't think I want one, or to say the same thing from the other side, I don't think anyone else would want to be in a relationship with me.

Parenting tip #1: Don't call your baby an accident. (Unless you mistakenly tripped into that vag, which I doubt a little.)

You sound simultaneously optimistic and depressed. That's both impressive and sad all together in one cuddly package. ;-)

[Woorloog]

22, no relationships. And doesn't bother me one bit.
And i'm not even aromantic/asexual.

[carfo]

I'm 26 and I've had one proper relationship. We've been together for over 3 years now. She wants a baby but we can't afford one / don't have the time for one now. Her younger sister is having one (not planned) and my girl is getting hormonal jealousy or something

[McNei1y]

23 and I have never had a relationship. The girls I like don't feel the same way... the girls that like me won't get a mutual feeling... weird how it works, yo.

Do you mind me asking your gender?

[WoodenLung]

22. Had a girlfriend for just over two years from when I was 17 (I actually lost my virginity to her years before, but we never really got into a relationship before that). Other than that I never had any serious relationships, now neogaf is my partner.

[Natetan]

23 and I have never had a relationship. The girls I like don't feel the same way... the girls that like me won't get a mutual feeling... weird how it works, yo.

yep, so true. i kind of settled for the latter sort of. I tried too long on the former, and it really burnt me out.

I am really excited don't get me wrong. But being so young and neither of us planning on having kids and then one day..."I'm pregnant" was such a surreal feeling.

Time to man up

[Emily Chu]

Do you mind me asking your gender?

cis guy

I feel as if most relationships are over-rated, but those were probably the happiest times of my life in those 3-4 months of cuddling, sex, watching movies together, holding hands, having her head lay on my chest while we were both naked in bed, making meals together, quiet moonlight embraces by a lake, walks on the beach and a whole bunch of other things that made life worth living.

but it wasn't meant to be she had too many personal issues and mental stability problems and I just wasn't prepared to face the drama and reality of it all.
so now idk, I'm just glad I got to experienced the ups and downs of a relationship before I died... I'm 26 now and with a better understanding and perspective on relationships thanks to that.

I look forward to starting a new one if the right girl comes along though, even though I'm not actively seeking out one right now atm.

but the grass is always green on the otherside and sometimes being single is fucking awesome, no obligations to anyone and pure freedom, so those are the two sides of the same coin the key I think is balance.

cheer up Gaffers, the sunsets, the moon rises and it'll be a new day tomorrow full of possiblities
just promise me you'll all do yourself a favor
just get the hell off gaf once in a while...

[Recon]

I think you can safely assume male. Unless girls refer to unprotected sex with other girls as bareback.

[Ichor]

Two serious relationships, first one lasting a year and ending in every one in my high school hating me. Second one lasted five years, ended with her breaking up with me for a guy she'd known for two weeks. Fun times.

Only thing before that was a 'girlfriend' in summer camp who literally never spoke to me again once we got back to school.

Hoping the next relationship won't go so badly.... Long term relationships that end like this are major ego hits, and lead to long periods of terrible selfworth issues.

[Axispowers]

I'm 22 I've dated various girls and had one serious relationship that lasted around a year.

[demon]

30, nada.

[Ryaaan14]

First long relationship 18-20

Dated various girls short-term 20-23

Second relationship 23-24

Dated girl without commitment 24-25

Various failures 26-27

[Phat Michael]

Longest Rship - about 14 months.
Usual length - 3months to 6 months

Reason - Moving countries, their parents dont like that im white and not hindu/muslim etc (Even though religion means nothing to me)

Relationships are good, but not entirely necessary. When you have your own place and are a bit older (im 31 now) you are presented with ample opportunities to date - by then, usually the girls are a bit more stable and mature and the relationship will be mor fulfilling.

The BEST rships ive ever had have been with women 2-4 years older than me. The worst are when im 30 and they are 22 etc. You just cant trust a girl at that stage in life to stay in a committed rship.

[Spiffy_1st]

19 - None lol

Girls liked me at school but never any of the ones that I liked.

[linkboy]

First serious relationship I had with a girl was for 3 years and then I accidentally got her pregnant. Still waiting on the baby. Scared out of my mind but i'm going to stick with it. edit..I should add that i'm only 21

My son was born 19 month ago and he wasn't planned and I didn't think I was ready for it. However, it changes pretty quick. Plus, its downright amazing watching him grow up and figure things out.

In hindsight, him being born was probably the best thing to happen to me (next to meeting his mother aka my wife).

I've been married for two years now and its been amazing.

[Uchip]

a-sexual until further notice

[Lafiel]

21 - Never been in a relationship, never kissed a girl, never been on a date etc.

I'm confident that will change someday though!

[KorrZ]

15 - 18 : Got laid for the first time and started a relationship with her a few weeks later. Lasted for 3 years.

18 - 19: Had a friends with benefits thing going on for about a year, even with the benefits part it was still pretty miserable friend zoned since I had it pretty bad for her.

Been single since then, 20 now.

[The Mana Legend]

23, engaged to my fiance whom I've been with for 7 years.

[Necromanti]

Involuntarily celibate.

.

[catfish]

I think first serious relationship (by that I mean 2 years) at age of... 23ish, possibly 22 1/2. After that failed, had a 3 year relationship that involved moving from NZ to Europe, also fail.

Now in a roughly 4 year one, engaged, getting married next year. Pretty happy with it.

my order of relationships went

heartbreaker (I dumped her)
heartbroken (I really didn't wanna be dumped and fly solo in europe)
happy/engaged.

feel like I've had enough experience to settle.

[Recon]

14 years old: Met my first girlfriend, she was originally from Jamaica, but moved to Michigan when she was young, so no accent. Dated for 2 years, we lost our virginity to each other. We still are good friends and talk about hip hop all the time on facebook. Even went out for drinks when we were both back in our hometown the other month.

17 years old: Met my second girlfriend, biracial(Mom white, Dad black)we dated for 6 years. We lived together after dating for 4 years for about a year. Very bad relationship, after a couple years together, we basically were staying together for the good sex and since we already had a long history together. A lot of cheating involved with both parties.

25 years old: Met my current girlfriend last march,(Half-Asian, Half white) she is a second year medical student at Michigan State University, probably the best relationship I have been in. Been dating since March, but I havnt said "I love you" yet, very hesitant on that. I know she is waiting for me to say it. I just really want to make sure I do before I say it and really get serious.

Had a lot of one night stands and some very short relationships, but those three are the major ones from my life.

[jb1234]

32, gay, never been in a relationship. Or had sex, for that matter.

That would be weird if I didn't have a strangely low sex drive and prefer to be by myself. Yes, I'm one of those. ;)

[Johnny Dazzle]

23, engaged to my fiance whom I've been with for 7 years.

Seeing posts like this on NeoGAF make me happy.

[Devolution]

15: Less than a month relationship with friend. Didn't last. Still best friends/
16-24: First serious boyfriend.
25: Going on 8 months.

[Computer]

Hahahahaha good one OP.

[Lucian Cat]

16-17 Chris- First bf, first love, blah blah blah.
17-19 Tom- First proper bf out of school. He sucked
19-23 Luke- Moved on too quickly and married a guy I wasn't really in love with :/
23-24 Chris- Dated a new guy after leaving husband. He sucked.
24--- Jarrod- Dating a new guy. Too early to tell if he sucks yet.
And several other guys for fun in between.

I don't seem to be able to stay single for long.

Not sure if this is better than being forever alone

24 btw

[Jake.]

i'm 25.

16/17 - first proper girlfriend. lost my virginity at 17. relationship lasted just under a year. she was a year older than me.
22 - second girlfriend. lasted about a year - she ended it and i was devastated. only got over it recently and thankfully haven't seen her since. she was 2 years younger.
23/24 - third girlfriend. lasted 6 months, just sort of fizzled out and we decided it was over. still on good terms - see her semi-often. 3 years younger.

i've never slept with anyone outside of those 3, and i've only ever kissed 2 other girls. total lightweight.

[NinjaBoiX]

15: Andrea - Didn't really fancy her, kind of felt pressured. Nothing really happened, just dumb teenage stuff, awkward kisses and shit.

17: Joelle - had a very slight, almost platonic relationship with a girl at college. We were awesome friends, kissed and cuddled a bit, was too pussy shy to do much else about it. It was on a plate, I bottled it.

*facepalm*

19: Gemma - had a two year relationship, proper full on love. She was only 16 at the time, and kind of spoilt. Really clingy too, got really suffocating. Ran dry, towards the end, started two timing her with...

21-22: Sammy -... broke it off with Gem after a few weeks, had a awkward on/off over a year or so with Sammy, but we were a world apart really, never would've worked. In the mean time, was having a similar, albeit brief relationship with....

22-23: Lyndsey. Literally like a month or two. Was a bit crazy, still in love with ex.

29: Nothing since. Yeah, really need to do something about that...

[Kyaw]

16 - Asked out crush, said yes, going pretty well and got dumped after about a month.

That's about it.

[KevinCow]

24

Went on 1 date when I was 17.

We saw Batman Begins.

That's it.

Some fun and topical statistics:

UK: Men have an average of 9 sexual partners, women have 4
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/relations...en-have-4.html

Age people lose their virginity
Bozon, Michael. 'At what age do women and men have their first sexual intercourse? World comparisons and recent trends'. Population and Societies 391 (2003) 1–4.

In the first group, the data indicated families arranging marriage for daughters as close to puberty as possible with significantly older men. Age of men at sexual initiation in these societies is at later ages than that of women, but is often extra-marital. This group included sub-Saharan Africa (the study listed Mali, Senegal and Ethiopia). The study considered the Indian subcontinent also fell into this group, although data was only available from Nepal.[41] In the second group, the data indicated families encouraged daughters to delay marriage, and to abstain from sexual activity prior to it. However, sons are encouraged to gain experience with older women or prostitutes prior to marriage. Age of men at sexual initiation in these societies is at lower ages than that of women. This group includes Latin cultures, both from southern Europe (Portugal, Greece and Romania are noted) and from Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic). The study considered many Asian societies also fell into this group, although matching data were only available from Thailand.[41] In the third group, age of men and women at sexual initiation was more closely matched. There were two sub-groups, however. In non-Latin, Catholic countries (Poland and Lithuania are mentioned), age at sexual initiation was higher, suggesting later marriage and reciprocal valuing of male and female virginity. The same pattern of late marriage and reciprocal valuing of virginity was reflected in Singapore and Sri Lanka. The study considered China and Vietnam also fell into this group, although data were not available.[41]

All of my relationships have been amazing, and always last at least 3 or 4 years before I break it off. It just takes a backbone and some standards.

What takes backbone, the relationship or breaking it off?

[Toppot]

23, had a couple of relationships that didn't last more than a month when I was 17 and 18. Couple of 'dates' since then but nothing to write home about.
