Single, never been in a long-term relationship, but to be fair, I've barely started, (only just got to the age (17) where a lot of my friends are starting to have relationships, a couple of years ago maybe 10% had a relationship of some kind, now it's more 50/50)

Engaged ~ for the fourth time. Never married ~ I called them all off.
One Adult Teen.
Own home, own car, own job ~ maybe a little too independant?
In love.

That is all.

K'Eh
 
:censored: I just realized I don't remember my wedding anniversary! July something .... 2008. Maybe it's on my Google Calendar!

:lol: That's not good :p

Maybe you still have invites you sent out or something? I wonder how one figures that out (short of asking someone, of course).

Single on my part fwiw.

Well we never picked up our wedding DVD and they just mailed it to us so I bet it's on there. Or my photo album. I'm sure my husband knows, I'm just crap at remembering dates.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it sounds like the plot to a sitcom episode.

Then again, my parents got married on February 29, so it's very hard for them to forget the date.
 
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.
 
Single, by choice.

I have no inclination to be in a long-term relationship. The costs of being in a relationship are so damn high in terms of how much of oneself must be given/shared and I don't feel any desire to have children. So I feel there's really nothing for me to gain from one. I should point out that I don't view this as an absolute perspective applicable to all; it's just my own view on relationships, given my personality and habits.

If I want social (ie non-sexual) female company - and I must admit to being very fond of it - I have female friends for that. I actually see them - even the ones in relationships or married - in lots of one-on-one situations that others might consider "dating" type activities - drinks, dinners, concerts, plays, balls, etc but it's purely for fun and company, not anything else. I just prefer seeing my friends one-on-one or very small groups at most rather than big parties, so it's just natural for me to invite them to things like that.

And simply wanting sex would be a really poor reason to be in a long-term relationship with someone; that's a physical itch that can be scratched in a whole variety of less complicated ways.

Of course, I don't rule a long-term, committed relationship out forever... but it certainly would take someone dazzlingly special for me to change my life priorities.
 
2nd time married... (guess I like being married)...first one lasted 22 years...

Will be married for 4 years in September..the date is 1 month after Dear Wife's (and My) Birthday...

Between marriages, I lived for 6 months in my SISTER'S basement...with my computer attached to the net, and a DVD player running my favorite Sci-Fi TV show episodes damn near non-stop...

And I'm happier now .. after all I do like some structure in my life...

"Balls"?

Sure. Black-tie, nice dresses, good dinner, some music after (not that I'm particularly fond of dancing), that sort of thing. Am I missing a transatlanticism here?
 
Balls are things that Disney princesses attend so they can find their true love and break their Stepmother's evil spell.
 
Oh well, I live in a university city, and the various colleges often do them esp. around the summer months so I go to one or two if I have time.
