    I'm 25 now and my one and only relationship lasted 3 months. Since 1st year in college i've been 'playing the field' as such. I've slept with about 30 women or so. It has been a great experience but I really don't know what's wrong with me. Up to now i haven't felt like being in a relationship and being tied down. I'm worried about how i'd react in a relationship sinced i've never had a proper one. Is there anyone else like me??

    I was like yourself 25 when i fell in love for the first time. I was starting to think i was cold and incapable of loving anyone. I was wrong, fell like a sack of bricks and have fallen twice more in the 10 years since:rolleyes: so dont worry its all ahead of you.:)

    Are you worried about settling down with one?

    Yes there are people like you. It's kind of like you'll never know what it's like to be an only child if you have siblings and vice versa. I've been in a relationship for over four years and wonder, if we were to break up, how awkward I would be with a potential new girl. Don't worry about it.

    nothing unusual about that at all. i would have been in the same boat as you if it were not for the fabulous girl i met 5 months ago and we're crazy about eachother. Give it time, it'll happen.

    Totally normal - happens all the time - I have lots of friends who were in their late twenties before they got into any relationships that lasted more than a few months. Don't worry about it - it'll happen when you're ready for it, and there's nothing wrong with playing the field until you are ready for it.

    no there is no one like u out there ;) the life expectancy of a human being has lenghtened quite a lot in recent times. people in your age range have grown up in a disposable world. u maybe tireing of your disposable world as is natural with age and are realising that u need more substance to life.

    You're young. Enjoy it. Plenty of time to settle down later, when you meet the right person.

    No point in being in a serious relatioship just to be in one, until you meet the right girl just keep having fun ;)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    fair play to ya boyo, im only in college 2 months now, my count is still only 1 but im in the same catagory as you, your still young, i wouldnt start lookin at needing commitment or a relationship for another few years yet

    Thanks for all the advice. I suppose i'm getting a little anxious but there's nothing really to worry about. As was mentioned, there's no point in starting a relationship with someone just for the sake of doing so. If it's meant to happen it'll happen.
