Have you spent more of your life single or taken?

[Anonymous]

I kinda wanna see which is more common 😌

[ShellyB]

Starting with age 16, taken, let me think, how do you count when you first start casually dating someone and it later turns serious, are you single during the early casual part or are you taken? Depending how you count that, I would say either 7 months, or about a year, single since I was 16.

[Asker]

So mostly single? 🙃

[ShellyB]

Well I am older than 17 lol.

[Asker]

You said starting at 16 but single since 17 so that's one year of dating and single for the rest no? Lol

[MinnieMousse]

I’ve been single my whole life, but I haven’t intentionally looked for any guys since I’ve always been too busy for a proper relationship.

[Asker]

That's the best type of single I think, not being rushed for anything, nice

[MinnieMousse]

Yeah! I’m definitely taking my time and not too worried about it, especially right now with college around the corner.

[Asker]

Thats what's up, many people rush into it and then make mistakes in the process, this might even help you get with the right person, taking things slow have their benefits.

[RebelinSteel]

I was single until 13. Then it’s been dating n single, currently single. It’s very close but I would say single is the more common one.

[Asker]

I see, I should've made this a poll tbh

[RebelinSteel]

I had to do some maths in my head lol, however working it out it went from 50/50 to a more 60/40 for being single.

[NathanDavis]

close to 60/40... for single

I started a relationship at age 16

[Account]

Single. If I happen to like someone, I start questioning my sanity.

[Asker]

Lol why, it's normal to get attached to people, after all it's one of the good things that separate us from machines or even bad people 😌☝🏽

[Account]

I guess I am more of a machine. 🤖

[Asker]

Then pushing your buttons should be a lot easier 😃🧀

[Nxtawm]

Single, I’ve probably only dated one year all together. I don’t often get interested in people like that nor do I get often approached lol

[Asker]

You don't really sound like the type of person to try when it comes to relationships, you've always seemed fine being on your own shit.

[Nxtawm]

Lol I think I just come off very nonchalant, I do think I’m chill but I promise I do try lmfao I’m just very awkward. I care a lot about people close to me

[Asker]

And this whole time I thought you were just not much of a tryer when it comes to dating lol

[Nxtawm]

I just don’t actively date/try to meet new people lol, I’m usually content being single or like you said doing my own shit. But when I’m in a relationship I do try lol I’d want them to be happy and I like to work through issues

[Asker]

That's very mature of you, I meant before even getting into one tho, not when in a relationship, I'm sure you try when in one, when you are outside of one, you don't seem to stressed to get into one lol

[DishLady]

"Taken" makes it sound like we've been kidnapped. 😂

I'd say it's officially a 50/50 split now.

[Asker]

If it would've been referring to kidnapping I'd say "stolen" 😂

[DishLady]

I know. It's just that expression has always made me chuckle a little, esp. post-Liam Neeson!

[Asker]

Now I'ma have a hard time unseeing that 😂

[LazerBean]

First 18 years I was single, been taken for the rest of it. So 75% single, but only like.5% of my adult life single.

[Asker]

Those are quite some numbers ha

[midnightmoon05]

As of today. Coupled up. Married 2 times. I enjoy being with my hubby.

[Asker]

That's good midnight 😁💯

[midnightmoon05]

Found your little princess yet?

[Asker]

Nope but tbh I wasn't really looking too hard either lol

[SweetJoyGirl]

Single most of my life. 🧚🏾‍♀️

What about you, bozo? 😌

[Asker]

The same lol

[12karen]

Was single until 11 and got into 5 relationships and now I'm single again.

So I can say, I spent 65% of my life single 🫠

[Asker]

*puts you in freezer so you stop melting* if you had 5 relationships and started so young and still been single most of your life, what hope do the rest of us have lol

[12karen]

Haha, I'm just a little flamme, and my love life is a mystery even to myself! I could say I'm not a pro in dating lol

[Asker]

Little flame that grows and shrinks ha, I don't think being a pro at dating truly exists but ey I might be mistaken lol

[12karen]

Maybe being a pro at it is a myth. Til now I've never met someone who had the "perfect love story"

[Asker]

The perfect love story doesn't exist, just one argument kinda ruins that perfect love story idea, good thing healthy love stories exist tho

[12karen]

Mmh, right. Healthy love stories sounds better than perfect love stories.

[Asker]

They really do tho

[Nirmroth]

Im 28, to have spent more than my life beeing taken I would have to found a girlfriend at 14 and be toghether until now.

[Nikki1989]

Taken. I have had very little experience with being single.

[Anonymous]

If "single" was a baseball team I'm the San Diego Padres of dating.😆

[Asker]

Lol.

[electromagnetic]

Single. 68% single.

[Asker]

You legit did the math ha

[Jason2469]

I've only spent 4 hours of my 42 years alone. They were dreadful.

[Asker]

That's a little lol

[Jason2469]

To me, they were more than enough. Never again

[Asker]

Lol fair enough

[HawkPerception]

I've only been taken about 20% of my life and each year that's decreasing lol

[StudyingAuthor]

Ummm, I'd rather not say. HBU chris?

[Asker]

How dare you not answer my question and ask me to answer my own question 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

LMAOOOOOO, answer!

[StudyingAuthor]

You're 23 you should be able to say.

[Asker]

Don't try to butter me up with my age 😂

[StudyingAuthor]

🤣😂 I'm good, I'l answer then you answer.
When I was 7 I dated this guy named Mei'Khi for ab 2 weeks, then a big gap for the next 3 years was empty, then a guy named vincent for two years, then I started homeschool... so I'll try to remember
this guy named Jacob, Ethan, Zieland, Mark, Anthony, and I'm going on a little to long, I can dm you the rest if it helps.

[Asker]

So you've dated most of your life or were they just all short relationships cause from this it can be either one

[StudyingAuthor]

they were all short from the age of 12 to now. But the longest lasting was 2 year, the guy was nice tbh.

[Asker]

That's good tho, why y'all broke it off?

[StudyingAuthor]

I got bored, and tbh, I want to explore the world.

[Asker]

That's a good goal, I'd say chase it 👏🏽

[StudyingAuthor]

Thanks.

[HusamRocks]

Single because I really love it this way 😂

[Asker]

That's what's up lol

[lorenzomichael]

Taken but then again I can’t be alone i have to much in my life not to shear it.

[LiamJHayden]

Single. I date a lot, but have not been in a serious relationship since early 2022.

[BarryLiverstone]

First 17 years I was single

[Asker]

And then from there you were never single again?

[BarryLiverstone]

Been off and on since. But more on

[Asker]

I see, fair enough

[Twalli]

Single, unless you mean after I started dating. Then I have spent all of my life in a relationship.

[Finchie40]

Taken , 60 percent taken and 40 percent single

[aengus27]

Single. I would say it's like 95% of my life
