I've had about 3 relationships, none serious. I kind of dated a couple girls after those three relationships. I keep getting myself into the friend zone. :doh: There are times I like being single, but it also sucks being 24 and single when almost everyone of your friends is married, and almost everything you do with them ends up being a "date night" for all the couples, and I'm the 6th wheel. :(:sigh: It would help if I wasn't so afraid of rejection at this point. There is 3 girls that I think would go out with me if I asked, but they are all friends, and I'm afraid of the rejection or the weirdness that always seems to happen when it doesn't work.

This seriously makes me LOL. Mr. Aromantic has been in 3 relationships.... what went through your mind Alex?! :p Why on earth did you do it?

Social credit as a teenager, and once to try it. I did not figure out "aromanticism" or any such terms until I turned 20.

Everyone that's had relationships, where they with other christians or what?

All four of mine were with non-Christians, although I think the last one might've converted since she was attending church w/ my sister the last time I saw her. But not being very religious myself on each occassion, I didn't proselytise much either.

Does anyone else find it slightly ironic that the Tag bar's currently set to the default: None?

I've had 0 ! :(

Don't be too sad about that. Like L_T said, it's not like career experience. If you don't have a train of failed relationships behind you, be grateful for that.

True, it's not like career experience, but not every dating relationship that comes to an end is a failure. It can take a while to get to know if somebody is right for you. If they're not, then they're probably right for somebody else. When you have fun, learn a little about somebody else, and maybe learn a little about yourself in the process, it's not a bad thing. The goal is to find somebody who's a good match for you, and that's rarely obvious at first.

The flip side is, there are a lot of people who actually consider the amount to be a huge insight to how that person will be in a relationship. The flip side to that is, the more you get, the less appealing to many one becomes.

Its kind of like credit. No credit can be considered bad. Too much failed credit is bad as well.

Counting the one i'm in now; 2. I would rather have little to no serious relationships (which are also with healthy whole people) than tons of failed relationships with people who don't know what they want. All it takes is one healthy relationship to turn into something worth having. I care more about the other person (and myself) being a healthy functioning individual NOW rather than how many ex's they have.

I hear you, but when your 29 years old and it hasn't happened yet, you can't help but feel like a loser. :(

I'm 24 and have never been in a relationship. I know I'm not a loser, but I do worry that I don't have the social skills necessary to form or maintain a relationship. I'm sure you're not a loser either, you just need to figure out what to do.

I've had one boyfriend who I married then divorced.

There have been two others that I don't really know how to describe. One when I was 15. We spent alot of time together and held hands once (puppy love I guess). The other has been post D. I wouldn't call it an actual relationship, but a very close bond. I've learned more from my two non-sexual relationships then I ever did in my 7 year marriage.

I'm not against dating your butt off. I have just chosen not to thus far.
