Who amongst you doesn't see life as permanent?
Idk, I know a lot of guys who prefer a lack of experience sometimes over too much experience... lack of experience usually equates to a greater potential to learn; whereas, well you get what I'm saying.
There's an urban saying, and I'll paraphrase it:
You cannot make a promiscuous woman a housewife.

Indeed, all I'm saying is that you really shouldn't worry about it; play it off like it doesn't matter, cause it really doesn't, and you'll find yourself in a better relationship if they don't care.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do - Proverbs 16:3
I was in 4 relationships during my high school/young adulthood years, 1 long distance relationship later in life that never evolved into anything, and the relationship with my husband that obviously led to marriage. So that would be 5 or 6, depending on whether or not you count the LDR where I never even met the person.

That's because you're in the same boat. I'm talking about guys that have been with multiple people.
I didn't say I would lie about it. I just don't want to mention it. But I suppose that could be lying by omission.
Nah, lying by omission would mean that you had led them to believe something other than the truth first. It still involves an intent to deceive. Withholding information is fine. It's impossible to share every detail about yourself all the time, and until you're ready to marry a person, a lot of details about yourself are simply none of their business anyway.

Uhh, let me think now. 
Ummmm......counting the past couple weeks??.....None. And I'm perfectly happy to keep it that way until I know I'm ready for marriage.

I've only dated 5, 3 of which lasted a month or less. I married the other 2 (of course didn't marry the second until I divorced the first).

I don't really understand all this talk about lack of dating experience being a negative thing. well I guess I can a little since I've been there, but when you really think about it it doesn't make sense. Its all just artificial requirements we place on ourselves
Its not like prepping for a career. Its about finding someone who is a good fit for you. If you've never experienced being with someone on a romantic level all that means is you haven't found someone who is a good match for you. It doesn't have to say anything more than that about you. If you make it a big deal then yes it may make any potential dates wonder as well. But its not the dealbreaker a lot of people think of it as.
conversely, if you do have experience it doesn't mean you're good at relationships. In that instance you're taking a risk with someone again: are they single because the people they dated before weren't good matches or are they single because they do not know how to make a relationship work?
People have to stop thinking about dating in terms of finding a job. its very, very, very different.
