I've currently been broken up with, so probably for 8 or 9 years.

I've been broken up with by three other guys when I was 12. 1). The first one wanted me for sex. 2). The second one was pretty decent, even though he was several inches shorter than me then. He bought me earrings and even went as far as to ask his mother to pick me up so I can go over his house. 3). The third one, I was nothing but a side-chick. I loved him because he gave off a "bad boy" vibe and I was swooned.

I've had a girlfriend. I broke up with her because I didn't want to have a long distance relationship, knowing we'll never see each other again. I was 13 and she was 12. Her mother reported me to the police as a pedopile after 3 or 4 days of finding out that I was dating her daughter.

It had been not long after I was admitted into a ldr with a man who was three years away from becoming 20. He is 20 now and that's the man who broken up with me because he didn't want to seem like a pedopile nor did he want to go to jail/prison for dating me.

So, after the three broken up with me, it was like a few months. When I broke up with my girlfriend, it was like a month. Now, my boyfriend and I have been exes for a few days. So I'm assuming I'll be single for like 8 or 9 years until I go up there and we'll start dating again, but in person. I think if we don't get back together before the 10th year of me being single, I'm killing myself.

I've been technically single since my 2018 August break up but I had a guy I liked who would flirt with me all the time knowing I liked him and I had another guy who acted like my boyfriend even though I did not explicitly agree to it - we didn't date partially because I was not allowed to leave the house during CoVid

I don't remember exactly because that was quite a while ago, but I think it was something like 18 months or maybe a few months more than that. I'm pretty sure it was less than 2 years though. There's been twice that I went more than a year between relationships. The other times I got into a new relationship before a year had passed. I think I heal more quickly than the average person and so I'm ready for a new relationship relatively soon if I find the right person.

6 years and continuing... I want to remain single for the rest of my life , no bitterness towards women , simply lost interest & peace is much more important to me now. Never want to endure anything like the marriage I ended !! Also single dads... stay single in most cases , whether they like it or not.

In terms of agreeing to boyfriend/girlfriend, i only agreed to be official with my first ex from 2009-10 and my second ex from 2017-2019. So “officially” ig 7 years. But im almost always dating/talking to someone. So in terms of “unofficially”, maybe 2 months

Year 2 and counting.
- Language barriers
- Cultural differences
- Not having instagram
Apparently these are dealbreakers to many "girls"

  It's true.
  They would lose all interest and ghost me when they ask me for it and I tell them, that I don't have it.
  Not everyone wants to be on social media.
  You can find Nicki Minaj and Tekashi69 on instagram and twitter but you won't find me or Edward Snowden on there for obvious reasons.

I’m currently on the thirteenth year of being single. That last relationship wasn’t very long. I’ve had a few dates early on after the breakup, but it’s been years since my last date.
