I know the feeling but trust me, do not entertain the train of thought. Even if all it does is distract you a little bit from your girl it is not worth it. Just focus on her and be thankful for what you have. Having sex with a bunch of people might sound cool but it is absolutely nothing compared to sex with your soul mate.

The trick for anyone is having them 'get' you. It might take you 5 times longer to chase something and maybe catch it instead of becoming the desired object yourself. Sound impossible? Its not. Instead of trying to figure out how to get someone, figure out how to make yourself desirable, then sit back and pick who you want from the suiters. Because, this is exactly how it works.
Same for both men and women. You can do it

Quite nice!
It's still going on. Married her 3 years ago.
Yes.

Yes.
How was it? -
It was nice though strange as she was a few years younger than me and I was 19.
How long did it last? -
Around 3 months.
Do u still think about that time? -
I use to think about her really heavily along with many "if only" days... until I met and had sex with her over several years later. Now I don't think about her as much; I guess being with her again done the trick.

When I was in 2nd grade (7 or 8-years-old at the time, IIRC). All we did was hold hands (never kissed).
This was AFTER she stopped kicking and hitting me. lol. I told a teacher on her once. Don't remember what happened right after that, but we got "together" later.
But the thing is, I had way more girlfriends when I was in elementary school/middle school than I did in HS/college
EDIT: And to answer the other questions: we were kids....so, I guess it was OK. I think it lasted about a year or so. I transferred to a different school when I entered the 3rd grade and I think it kinda fizzled out.

How do you know?Never had a GF. Being single is so much better
How do you know?
Internet people always claim [what they have never had] is better than [having it.]
This includes arguments about: Religion and sex, long term relationships, foreskin, children, mental health problems...

I was probably sixteen when I got my first proper girlfriend. We were together about four or six weeks I think. I didn't drive and she lived about 10 miles away, so I relied on getting the train or a lift off my mum.
I got my first long-term girlfriend when was 17. We were together for about 14 or 15 months.
Next woman I became involved with is now my wife, and here we are nearly 10 years together with two kids.

I was with my first girlfriend when I was around 15 and that went on for a little over a year, in retrospect that relationship wasn't important but I thought it was while I was in it. I don't think of that time.
I was 18 when I met my first boyfriend, it was a very intense three year relationship and I don't think of it very often because it seems like such a long time ago.

It lasted ~3.5 years. It was a terrible relationship. I just recently got out of it and I'm in a new relationship and confused about how much nicer this new girl is.

Oh shit, that reminds me! I thought I knew my answer but I've had multiple situations like this. Like you were "supposed to" have a girl or boy and there were arranged "relationships" where you didn't even hang out alone, just in groups. Like the friends would be like "ok, you guys are an item now". That shit doesn't count, does it?
Real answer is 19 for almost 2 years. I don't miss her as a person but god damn were we physically compatible. That actually really sucks; hitting your perfect sexual fit in your first relationship. Every other attempt has felt disappointing.
29. In fact, i've been with her for 4 months now. We're deeply in love and I can imagine spending the rest of my life with her, she's almost perfect for me. 
I would have gotten a girlfriend way before that, but being the very shy guy(it was almost like social phobia) that I was during my teenage and early 20s years, it was impossible for me. I didn't go toward girls and girls didn't care about a guy who barely talked to anyone.
Good thing there is such a thing as dating websites, or else i would still be alone.

I like to think that my first girlfriend happened at 17, but in reality I've never had a girlfriend since nothing ever came out of that relationship. She never even let me kiss her, and I tried multiple times.
We dated for like 4 months, but she was always there like, waiting for me to do something and not moving a single finger for the relationship, just waiting to see what she was gonna get. She'd often be mad at me for apparently no reason. She'd never even care to try to continue my conversations or engage with me in some way, and I was proactive with her. She also flunked the college admission exam when we were in our relationship and that tainted the whole deal, because she was INCREDIBLY pissy and whiny for the first couple months after that. She tried dumping me after the first week we dated, when supposedly she dated another guy, but apparently wasn't really convinced and wanted me back; I came back since I was so into her. I really liked her, but this whole deal was truly just a combination of bad things at the wrong time.
When she dumped me for good, I learned that she had already been dating another guy she met at college for a month, because she had doctor parents who got her into med school through tricks and connections. It's another of the things that I think tainted our relationship, she and her family really weren't rich, but they had money and they loved to have a very sedentary, "good enough", spendy/wasty lifestyle (they worked a lot, though!) and I was really poor at that time, struggling to get through high school and working in their family's shop part time to get money for my home, so maybe she didn't even see me as a viable option in the end, in regards to providing her with stuff. She never liked my gifts. She went on to date the new guy for three years and now she has a baby with him, but they are not married so I missed a damn bullet there lol.
I haven't had a single girlfriend since then (lots of failed attempts, though, so getting there!), six years, going into the seventh, but you know what? It's been worth it and I wouldn't have had it any other way, I feel like I have taken the higher path, in search of knowledge and power. I refuse to date someone who isn't nice, educated, calm, interesting, cultured and intelligent, yet there's so many shitty women available. I know of oh, so many guys around who settled for a shitty girl just because they don't have any other choices or chances and now they regret it. I'm looking forward to a very cool career and endless opportunity!

18 now. Never had one. When i was 13 i transfered to a new school, and there was this girl which i liked very much and looking back - she liked me too i suppose. If i haven't transfered back to my old school 3 month into a school year, it might've worked. I still regret this 5 years later. She has a long time boyfriend and bla-bla-bla.
I've liked girls over the years but they never liked me back. So yeah..

My first boyfriend was while I was in the 4th grade. He was one of my best friends, but I was absolutely terrified because my parents said I couldn't have a boyfriend until I was 16. We held hands and danced, but never kissed or did anything else. I think we were together for about 2-3 weeks.
He was really sweet. He made me an Easter basket and had it filled with a bunch of stuff. He called my house and said he was going to have his mother drive him over to my house to drop it off. I lied to him and said I wouldn't be home, but they could drop it off at the front door. I remember feeling so relieved that my parents weren't at home when the basket was dropped off. I ended up hiding it in my closet so my parents wouldn't find it.
I feel pretty crappy that I broke up with him shortly after that, but I was just too scared my parents would find out. =(

I was 18, she was 15. I had never even been close to having a girlfriend before and I fell hard for her. We were an item over the summer after I graduated HS, but she broke up with me and broke my heart. We connected again a couple years later and got to be friends. For the next ten years after that, I had girlfriends and she had boyfriends. I got engaged, she moved in with a guy and I thought they were going to get married. Neither of those situations worked out. 12 years after we first met, we started dating again. I bought a ring three weeks later and we've been married for a little over three years.
Hmm I'm trying to place this right.
My first boyfriend was when I was 22 last year, although I'm not sure I really considered us boyfriends.
That lasted like from March-May I think. My current boyfriend I have been with since July of last year, we have had our ups and downs and we are fixing to go on a trip today when I get off work to Miami, I hope it is warm there because today it is cold!

19? Was pretty short, a few months. 20 was the first relationship that lasted more than a year (it ended).

Never (I'm now 27).
When I was much younger I was very fat and had massive confidence issues and a complete lack of self-worth due to daily beatings and verbal abuse from other kids. So, girls were never an option for me.
After a while it becomes engrained in your mind that romantic (or even just sexual) relationships are for other people, and not for yourself.

My first real girlfriend came when I was 15. We dated for a year and half, even though we went to different high schools. She broke up with me to date someone in her own school, which was kind of understandable considering the circumstances. The summer after freshman year of college she contacted me and asked me out again and we dated throughout that summer. I broke it off when I went back to college and she stayed in our hometown.
That was many years ago, but last year she reconnected with me through Facebook and we chatted some. She's married and had four kids, but isn't happy in the relationship at all. I've tried to stay clear of anything to do with that, but she brings it up on occasion. She even contacted me before Thanksgiving to see if I'd be back in town and wanted to get together. I didn't go home for the holiday, but will be for Christmas. I have a feeling she'll try to reach out again.

I was with a girl who might have loved me more than my parents did. I left her to take part in the life.
After a pregnancy scare, some very fortunate STI results, and some emotional damage, I can say that if she loves you like no one else can than "trying" someone else is pointless
