Relationships - yay or nay?

whirlpool

At this current point in your life, (if you're not currently in one) would you be happy to enter a relationship [but not actively seeking one?] Or are you currently avoiding them? Or are you desperate to be in one? Which one of these are you?

At the moment I'm purposely avoiding them (in before someone says You first, OP.)

No explanations required. An answer will suffice.

wazky

Actively seeking one.

When I get parole in a few weeks.

Rothko

Nay, based on past experiences.

catallus

Actively avoiding one. (I am also getting parole in a few weeks)

Itwasntme.

I thought I wanted a relationship. Then I got it and realised I wasn't ready for it. So I left it. And now I think I may have made a really big mistake.

So I guess my answer is that I have no clue.

Femme_Fatale

Happy to be in one but not actively seeking one.

The most important relationship for me right now is between me and my family they'rrrrrre great.

Same as.

Hey, we'd make a great couple.

:pac:

cantdecide

Happily not pursuing one and haven't been for a long (and peaceful) time now. If I met someone nice I wouldn't rule it out though.

Grainne101

Right now would rather have all my teeth pulled than get involved with another headwrecking b**lix!! Usually would be happy to be in one but today is a REALLY bad day!

Said no girl ever.

Try it, there's definitely a market for it online anyway.

HalloweenJack

Currently in one for the past five months.

Was looking and found one. Would be looking if I wasn't in one.

I thanked it though.

Esoteric_

On the verge of being in one. Wasn't looking for one, and was actually determined to stay single. Go figure. Happy with how things have turned out, though.

ElChe32

Was in one for 2 years, felt like I was being put under too much pressure from it, left her, miss her, she's moved on. Not sure what I want to do.

You'll accept the deal or you echo the sentiment? Or both? It would be pretty low quality sex if we both had no arms though. Not that I'd complain.

carzony

I'd love one. Had my first little relationship last year and I couldn't have been happier. Turned out SHE only wanted the sex part. As a man, I should have been happy about that, right?:eek:

green_bow

actively seeking one, if your a male in his thirties and single , it leaves you a spare wheel when it comes to socialising , people avoid you and view you as a bit of a misfit , you find your not invited to stuff as much as you used to

Hmmmm...wellllll...yeah, I would be happy with that.

EdenHazard

Yeah, would have been in one(my first) but right girl, wrong time. When I say yeh I like the idea of being in one but not really sure it entails, I'd love to go out with someone who you completely click with, and proper enjoy being around each other. Think that would be a given but a lot of relationships I see are just convenience, someone to bang etc. Maybe I've watched too much Disney movies.

pharmaton

I have an imaginary girlfriend, she's the best.

Frosty McSnowballs

Looking back, I seem to have always been in relationships. One or two I may not have classed as relationships though.

Anyway, I'm 32 and in my 10th year of my current one.....probably why I spend so much time on here!

Real Life

Im not in a relationship, im not seeking one but also not avoiding one. im just living my life. anything could happen, or not happen as the case may be

Katunga

Not in one but would be happy to be in one but not seeking one if it happens it happens.

jaffacakesyum

I've never been in a proper relationship so yeah I'd love one. But fat chance of that so I'm just trying to enjoy life at the moment and let things happen Going to be travelling with work for a good while now so I'm glad I'm single for that :pac:

The Backwards Man

I'm with Cliff Richard.

I'm sorry to the bearer of bad news but she cheated on you with me.

I'd like to know if it was the other way round.

Yellow121

I'm in a relationship with an amazing, beautiful woman. I'm not trying to make you all jealous but she's the greatest gf ever. She's really sweet, intelligent, she'll do anything for me, she's a doll.

Yellow121

No really.

Is she yours? I think mine is sexier but I can see how you'd have fun with her.

Shanotheslayer

In a relationship 10 months. She does my head in now and again but at the end of the day...(It get's dark) I'd be lost without her

Miss Lockhart

No interest.

It's really sad to me to think that someone would get into a relationship because of what other people think/say/do. It would also make me question the strength/value/genuineness of said relationship, since you wouldn't be in the relationship solely for the person themselves. But each to their own. You're both adults. (I hope.)

Arawn

I loathe relationships

I'm the female equivalent - never ever encounter that myself. My friend feels more like you do though, but I reckon it's more to do with her overthinking things than being the reality.

Ammm I think you're forgetting someone.

Don't you bring her out to parties?

Geomy

I prefer to be single, I don't conform to sleep mentality or try to keep up with what society says.

Im very content, have my house nearly paid for, have a son who I love, a job that I enjoy and can come and go as I like.

Im living the life of Riley.

I love women but just don't think I have the time right now.

Im enjoying my freedom :-D

Royal.Baby

Being male, good looking and single is probably one of the greatest things in the world. If you have a fat wallet then you are living the high life.

Not in one, don't want one.

The whole settling down with someone and maybe eventually having children is something i doubt I'll ever want.

Have no interest in that sort of a life.

What does annoy me is when people of a similar age keep telling me that it's time I found someone and settled down and that you "only think you don't want kids"

People think that because they're happy with their family life that it's something that everyone should aspire to.

Even in this day and age society still expects that everyone should find a partner and have a family.

I'm only interested in one night stands and I doubt that'll change any time in the future.

Fair play to you, I could never see myself like that though, I'd love to be settled down and i'm only 22 That playing the field **** doesnt work for me...

Have fun with that when you're 50+ years old.
It's nice to have a partner and a family when you're older.

I got out of a 2 year relationship last year and it was a great experience (the relationship, not the breaking up fyi ).
I'd love to get into another relationship, but of course with somebody that I click with.

I've been "Playing the Field" the past year and to be honest I prefer being in a relationship, you can enjoy things more then bouncing between different women.

I think that by "Playing the Field" eventually you'll find someone that sticks.

Overheal

I think Im actively avoiding one. I have a FWB situation that is rather sporadic. Oddly I don't want to spoil that by entering some random relationship which will probably take up time I dont have anyway. I work full time and study full time and I have plans to move locations in the next 6 months, so nothing serious is ever going to happen
