Option number three. In a committed relationship. So committed in fact that both of us should be committed.

We don't have basements in California, so that's one stereotype I've managed to avoid.
 
Single. As of yesterday.


He was my first boyfriend. Now I feel empty. I already miss snuggling on the couch watching episodes of The Office on DVD. :(.
 
Single. Have been for almost 10 years. I have MAJOR trust issues, partly connected to ex spending a month bragging about another girl on our college course having a crush on him, then leaving me for her. A month later we got back together and he actually started telling me about the differences between me and her in bed!!!

A while ago, my brother pointed out that I tick many of the boxes of a stereotype nerd - wear glasses, have asthma, have loads of allergies, watch a lot of sci-fi, etc so if we had a basement, I probably would live in it :)
 
Married 7 years in mid-March, been together for 10. Before I met my wife when I was single I was regularly dating three women at once, one was a potential gf.

RAMA
 
I'm not asexual. I'm sure sex is great, but I aim to only have it with my WIFE, not some random stranger. That's my attitude towards all of this.

I admit I am very lonely and want to find a woman to date and eventually marry. That's what I'm looking for first. Sex can come after all of that. :shrug:
 
So far, I think I am the only widower in the crowd. It was not legal for us to marry, but when he died I still lost my soulmate. Had he not been killed by a distracted driver, we would have had a life long relationship.

Married for 13 1/2 years; 6 1/2 legally (I'm one of teh geyz, so we have 2 anniversaries.) Together for almost 19 years.

But I'm, ya know, sort of a black sheep; cuz we all know "my kind" are nothing but promiscuous sluts who can't commit. :rommie:
I must be a black sheep, too. When I was in a relationship, I never had the desire to look to someone else. I look around at so many gay guys who are sluts and cheaters... and am just not interested. I have always been relationship oriented.
Crisis averted! Husband and I went back and forth for a bit but decided it was July 19th. Now all of you remember that because come July, I'll probably forget again. Luckily the husband's birthday is July 4th so I can remember that one.
Now write it in either your signature line or location line. Every time you log in here... you will be reminded!:techman:

Why do you make it out to be a black-and-white choice? There is a big spectrum between "wife" and "random stranger." It's not an either/or.

And doesn't he have a right to his beliefs? Don't I have a right to mine? Should we be required to sleep with people before we marry just to satisfy society? That certainly wouldn't be right. People are so quick to assume there is something wrong with people who choose to wait for marriage, these days...I don't think that's right at all. :(

With me, everything's either-or. You should know that by now. :p

seriously, I'm just a wait-till-marriage kind of guy. If I am just dating someone, I don't think I'd be ready for sex just yet. Nothing wrong with that, is there? At the very least, it kills the likelihood that I'll have to spend the rest of my life soaking in a vat of penicillin, or getting slapped with a big fat paternity suit.

In fact I actually got DUMPED by a girl once because I wouldn't sleep with her. She flat-out accused me to my face of being gay (I'm not) and not loving her (I DID). :(
 
is it really that hard to believe that some people just dont care or are turned off by/for sex? :confused: :(

Yes

You're right. My apologies. I shouldn't have said they were a myth. I suppose there are asexuals out there, like nuns, monks, eunuchs, etc.

Well mainly its hard to believe because of biological drives. Even if there is no drive to reproduce, homosexuals still want to have sex. The fact that there are those who want no part of it in a sexual species its hard to believe.

I used to be like MLB, and to me, it was a matter of principle. Some people do cling to their virginity like something very sacred; while I can respect their point of view, I think it's overrated.

Shouldn't you be dating every week at least to figure out who you want to end up with??

I'm surprised by this poll, I wouldn't have thought there were so many singles who are NOT dating.
