3 LDR's
2 were serious...the other one I haven't a clue what I was thinking of...
I've decided to not date/court for 2 years since my last breakup (April 2010).
God Bless,
Drew

No it does'nt . It is good to wait for the right guy and not date because every one is doing it. Trust me, a lot of people here have not been in a relationship.

^^ this.
It can actually be worse to be alone AFTER a relationship, because you have had a taste of what it's like to NOT be alone, after which going back to being single, especially against your will... it's not fun at all.

As a teen/young adult - more than I can remember. Honestly. It's ridiculous.
In the past five years - three.
In the past two and a half years - only one date.

Quite flawed
This just means that I don't know how truly miserable it is to be single, because I've never been anything else

This is actually quite an interesting question.
Is it MORE miserable to have never had a date but want one very badly and be denied... or to have been in a relationship, have it gone sour, and THEN have nobody ever want you again?
I would say it's kind of like the Allegory of the Cave. Once you've been with someone, you can't really go back to not knowing what it's like, and being only as happy or as unhappy as you were before. Not only is it miserable being alone, but it's miserable being deprived of the companionship and etc that you once had. So it's more like, once you have and can't have again, it's worse because there's an EXTRA thing... loneliness AND deprivation of what you once had... instead of just the one.
But then again, I'm probably over-thinking this. It's what I get from having philosophers for parents

May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD.
Only if I cannot find someone whom I am compatible with. I will never let myself date someone if I saw that it wouldn't work for example, too many differences in terms of life goals and philosophy, long distances, etc.
Sometimes I do feel lonely and wander what it would be like to have that special someone on my life - someone who I could be intimate with, someone who I could experience new stuff with, etc. I wonder if I am missing out on anything. However, I don't think that I can trust someone enough to let myself be close to them. I need to work on myself a bit more first. Also, I would like to find complete and unwavering satisfaction in God and to fully realise that He is enough so that when I do date I don't end up putting that person before God.
So, maybe the reason I haven't dated is because I have not found the right person, am not ready, and am far too analytical and sensible lol.
P.S I am even still thinking about entering a convent. The nuns told me to experience a bit more of life first. I once read what this nun said about love, she was glad that she had experienced it before entering the convent so she knew what she was giving it up. Therefore, I am going to wait a few years and live my life a bit more before deciding.
Why do you think that you haven't dated? You don't have to answer if you do not want to

Yes, I think that you are right. Are you referring to Plato there?
