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

Rangers · Accepted Answer

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'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

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.

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 · Answer

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

AviatorTom · Answer

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

DizzyDesii · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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)

LazerBean · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 ❤️

CantMissIt · Answer

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.

exitseven · Answer

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.

glennos89 · Answer

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

motownplayer2000 · Answer

What is the stipulation around what you define as dating? Cause a lot of times one party thinks they are dating and the other doesn’t intend it to be that way.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on what you mean by dating. Hundreds of guys for dates. Fewer for sexual partners and way less than that for relationships. I think you date as many as you need to until you find a relationship

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe 20 or so. Depends on what you call dated.
