Play Field or Mate for Life?

Galvia

Do you play the field or mate for life? After hours are you happy single and playing the field, in and out of relationships, or are you seeking that special soul mate for life?

Wolves, hawks and killer whales mate for life, as do many other species. I think that most women would prefer this, too, but for some reason I get the impression that many men do not.

Comments?

We need a poll. Personally...playing the field, I'm still young tho.

play the field until I'm about 26/27

Personally that special someone who you can share opinions, thoughts and the goings on in your life.

Soppy yes, truth yes...

i'd rather find something long term at the moment.
having said that, 6 months is long term in my book...

i've been in 2 long term jobbies so im very much playing the field, but if i found someone who i connected with i'd jump at it

Dont be at yourself

I've been in 2 long term relationships since I was 16, so have never really "played the field". That's not by choice though, just luck (I wont say good or bad luck!).

Don't think I'm either, I take each situation as it comes.

Bit of both in my case. You cant find the long termer unless you find out what is right for you. At my age I dont like to call it playing the field though, I like to call it filtering- the good from the bad and the ugly.. not to mention the clinically insane..

I'd like a good ol' soulmate. That'd be great, I'd say. I don't think I really "play the field", only if I'm interested in someone and see them as being someone that I could enjoy myself with would I ask them out or whatever.

I'd like to be like one of those monogamous animals I suppose, I'd prefer to "mate" for life, but the odds of that happening in today's society are decreasing all the time. There are much more liberal attitudes to relationships, divorce, religion <all the usual suspects> nowadays.

I already found my soul mate and I have always only dated those who were potential soul mates - part of me wishes that I had played the field when I was younger, but I always had a fairly good idea of what kind of guy I was looking for who would have to be as good a man as my father (very hard to find, but luckily I found him)...as a result, I am still friends with most of my ex (they are all lovely guys).

I think its down to the individuals involved. A part of this whole liberal attitude is down to tv / radio etc, but i think most would like to find that one person that they really click with and spend some time with and experience the unexpected together.

Erm - mate for life as I am married

Dizzyblabla

I do enjoy the single life, the flirting, the chase etc, but there's always that feeling that I'll be an old spinster, so of course, eventually I would like to find the soul mate... like Shock_Treatment, it's 'filtering'!

I like to try to play the field but nobody is around when I want to play. So I don't get to play anything or anyone. So, to whit the answer to the question, people versus task, I am single.
