How many people have you dated since you were 15?

[Smashingdoozy]

What is too many people to have dated from age 15 to 30?

[Leapfrog00]

I've dated maybe 20 altogether, but 4 serious ones. Nowadays people think I'm a flaming homosexual because I developed a lisp because of my anxiety, and I guess stereotyping is a thing more stupid people do, rather than just ask.

It seems to be harder to meet people these days

Two, I was engaged to my first one at 20 years old, but she left me so she could enter the US illegally instead of doing it the legal way.

My second is current and I've been with her since shortly thereafter my first relationship failed. In the past year though, she barely talks to me at all and keeps making excuses for why she can't. I have little doubt that she's with someone else as she's active on Instagram throughout the day, yet she claims to have no time to talk to me

I was 19 when I had my first boyfriend. All together I have dated 6 people, 8 if you include the just talking phase. Those relationships ranged from a month to two years. I guess if you’re over a 100 that’s a bit much but honestly it doesn’t matter in the long run.

[msmissydc]

So I see in the comments so much different definitions of dating. So I had 3 relationships but there was more dating. As you exclude only first dates with your definition given in the comments I think there were about 7+ the three that resulted in a relationship.

[OlderAndWiser]

If you are counting first dates, I have had probably 150 or more.

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser. You are the man!

[AviatorTom]

Between 15 and 30, I dated 7 girls, married one of them.

[DizzyDesii]

I have dated a lot, and it was almost always 3 guys per name with the same name. I’d only claim 8 of my dudes as boyfriends, especially since they reached the more serious “ily” level. And 2 of the 8 made it down the sex route. I don't know I don’t feel a person can “date” too many. But I do feel a person can sleep with too many. Heck, two was honestly too many for me

[Apple1996]

Had a bunch of short relationships maybe 10 then 3 serious relationships. Got married at 19 so all the relationships were in my teen years

[NathanDavis]

have had four girlfriends (first at age 16)

besides that, three or four more... that we could have called dating

what is too many? if they were bad and toxic, then just one was already too many, lol

[Anonymous]

what is dating? a few dates? if it's a few dates or 1 date, i'd say 4 over the course of 18-30. separately, for dating relationships, 1 and still with the same person.

i don't think there's a limit. dating is dating, no matter how many times you went out on a date. you're trying to find someone to be with and that can be super hard.

[Boomchakalaca]

Im on my third. Going strong of 5 years. Too much dates means a red flag as u attract the wrong people for the wrong reasons. So, It would be a redlfag if it was over 7 from ages 15-30. In terms of looking for a long lasting partner of course.

[razelove]

Umm, can you define date, does that include ONS and NSA, is it LTR only, relationships that were leading that way and lasted a couple months? Depending on that it's I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, married twice, and maybe 6 LTR.

[Girlsontop]

dating only 1 person, sex with many (I got consent from my boyfriend but we no longer have sex with anyone but ourselves since we're going to get married)

[Cuminginside]

What made you stop?

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside Getting close to being married we both want to stay loyal to each other.

[Cuminginside]

Interesting because a fair amount of married people are involved in a open relationship it's the first time I've ever seen people who are boyfriend girlfriend who in an open relationship decide to close it when they get married interesting indeed.

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside It may change but we're gonna do that for a month and see how it goes

[Cuminginside]

I had a person who is in my clinic for therapy who did the open marriage thing is now a single parent and hasn't been with a woman in a couple years and I don't know if the open marriage thing has something to do with it but it's something for sure if you're able to close that door please put the padlock on it.

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside Oh I feel sorry for that person... plus if me and my boyfriend come back to an open relationship we still will never break up since we've been open for 6 years

[Cuminginside]

Make sure the other people from the outside do not cause division and obviously jealousy is a no-no.

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside yep check thanks

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside I talked with my boyfriend and we decided to keep it open since that's what we've been doing for so long

[Cuminginside]

Sometimes changing The way these are can cause all kinds of problems unless you're ready for that.

[Girlsontop]

@Cuminginside an open relationship isn't that bad, it's in fact the best

[LazerBean]

Using your definition I saw you post:

"Spent a meaningful amount of time on them and put effort into getting to know eachother on a more romantic level"

One.

[Anonymous]

I had about 3 longer term relationships, but I had sex with a lot of women. Some I was dating for a while, most were either fuck buddies, friends with benefits's or one/two nighters. All together, about 60 women I'd guess. I had a list of names at one time, but I lost it at around #52.

[chicken_nugget24]

3 non serious ones which I don't count tbh. My first serious relationship is with mu current boyfriend and we have been together for 5 years now ❤️

[Boomchakalaca]

Omg same. Were u guys high school sweet hearts too

[chicken_nugget24]

College

[Boomchakalaca]

5 years is a lot of commitment. Has he talked to u about marriage, family, housing?

[chicken_nugget24]

Nope

[chicken_nugget24]

You?

[Boomchakalaca]

He hasn't? Mine did. Dont u want to get married and start ur life?

[chicken_nugget24]

Married yeah but we won't for a few more years

[glennos89]

In total I dated 5 girls and had a relationship with 3 of them. The other 2 were 1 time dates only because of our differences in personality. We didn't move forward after that first encounter

[CantMissIt]

Look at all the women "dating" dozens or more men while the guys have 3 or 4 in the same time period and women can't see anything wrong with this dynamic.

[Smashingdoozy]

What are you talking about all? There's literally 3 ...

3/7 vs 8/18 1.8% difference...

[Smashingdoozy]

1.58%*

[Fabiana1]

10 This does not prove anything, some have none, some have too many

[MementoMori777]

one but i wouldn't even count that so none i guess, how bout you? lol

[Lliam]

Just dates? I have no idea. Lots. I have had 8 long term girlfriends (including my wife). 4 of those were between 16 and 30.

[EricSummer]

6 women in total out of which 5 before 30 and 2 after 30.

(As there's one I dated before and after 30, but not anymore)

[exitseven]

I really never dated anyone until I was 18 and I really had a limited experience. I would say that I had dated 9 and 5 of them were in the course of one year.

[Simslover92]

Between 15 to 30... none.

I just started dating at 31.

I know that's super late but better late than never as they say.
