How many of you are in relationships or single?

Question

If in a relationship, with who and how long, small details of how you make it work.

If single, why and what are you looking for. Or do you want to be single because you've been burned.

I've been in a relationship for 1.3 years. Shes amazing and kind. I use to be scared but the more i get to know her the more I know this is who I need to love. When you find the right person, being single is not so great. You need to find someone who can let you be your self. Laughter is the glue

Answer 1

25 years and counting. I'm so happy. It is not always easy, but she is my best friend, lover, companion. We share many likes, dislikes, morals and ethics. When the road gets bumpy, it's easier to have someone to share it with. We have a very unique relationship, we're told in most lesbian circles, but it works for us. The biggest tips? Communication can stall but must never die----you have to give trust to get trust---and sex will eventually become an enhancement to a well rounded relationship (fun but NOT necessary!)

Answer 2

I'm single and most of the time, I'm happy about it. I don't like having to answer to someone, but there are times when it would be nice to have someone there. I have been burned, but I wouldn't avoid a relationship with someone I liked because of that. I loved being in love, but I'm very independent and as I just posted under another question, I don't know that I want to ever get married. I also meet very few women who capture my attention both physically and intellectually. And of those, a lot end up being straight. I'm 30 now and usually am attracted to women who are at least ten years older than me. There's just something about older women that really gets me. And if she's my height (5'7") or shorter and in decent shape, I'm instantly attracted. I told a friend of mine I thought Diane Keaton was hot in Something's Gotta Give and she told me, you know she's like 60. I still think she was hot in that movie, but a little older than I ever would have thought. But if it came down to dating someone who was 20 or someone who was 40, I'd always prefer 40. But that's just me.

Answer 3

I am waiting on someone. I am "single" I guess and we both kinda started out as just f**k buddies, but we both know we like each other, we see each other all the time, she's picked me up from work, we've went out to dinner and clubbing together and she's stayed at my place and I've stayed at hers, so I know there's more going on, but she's one of those kinds of women that's in denial because she doesn't want to ler herself get hurt, so she pushes away the idea of a "relationship"..but she's left her toothbrush here, her perfume is here, her clothes are here, and her sister's silver ring is here. She can deny as much as she WANTS..lol, but I think we're "together". Lol, I mean the toothbrush thing..wow, that was a big step for BOTH of us, cuz neither of us were looking for anything to happen!
We've been seeing each other for about 3 months now. But we both know it's only temporary because I'm transferring colleges in January and moving into a dorm in San Marcos, Texas at Texas State and right now I'm in San Antonio. It's not very far of a drive, but she knows I'm going to be there, studying and concentrating on my degree for the next 3 years. She jokes with me all the time though she's like "look baby, that's a cute house, can we get it? I'll get the U-haul" (old lesbian joke of 'what does a lesbian do on a 2nd date? rent a U haul)
Laughter is definitely the key.

Answer 4

In a relationship going on 4 years. We make it work because we are respectful of each other and sensitive to each others feelings, needs, wants, and desires. That includes sexually and non-sexually. It sounds cliche but it is true that the way to making a relationship work is communication. I tell my partner EVERYTHING. Even if it's something most people would think I should keep to myself. Yes usually in those situations a fight ensues, but we are stronger afterwards. We have an unbreakable bond now that I wouldn't give up for the world. He is my best friend.

Answer 5

Single. I like being single, I like the fact that I'm not tied down to anyone. I can go out and do my own thing. When your in a relationship that you want to prosper and be a good relationship, you always have to tell them every step you take and half well most of the time your b/f or g/f wants to tag along. I can go out with my girls flirt with guys and not have to worry about what is classified as cheating.

Answer 6

Single. :-( I'm not happy being single.

I'd love the stability of a relationship, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I can tell you what I'm not looking for though: I'm not looking for the typical gay guy. I'm not looking for someone who can't hold a job or take care of themselves. And I'm not looking for an "open relationship." I guess faithfulness and intelligence are the two biggest qualities I'd be looking for in a mate.

And you may not believe me, but looks truthfully aren't that important for me. I'm not going to say that they don't matter at all, but they're not number 1. Same with age: I'm only 20, but I could definitely be with an older guy (my first boyfriend was 36 and age was never an issue).

Answer 7

Been in a relationship with my partner for 2 yrs. Communication has been our key to happiness. Talking things out when there is a problem. A big help has been learning when we each need to cool off in an argument BEFORE we talk things out. Good rule of thumb is to never go to bed angry! Work it out even if it means you loose a few hours of sleep. It'll be worth it in the long run.

Answer 8

I don't have any idea if I'm even a relationship any more. My gf just got back from her trip to the mainland. But am I the only one who noticed that a lot of straight people in this section. They keep saying "Oh my bf this and that" or " My gf and I are happy....". This is not the straight section. Btw if you can't figure it out....I'm a girl in love with a girl. I also live in Hawaii that is why I said the "mainland".......

Answer 9

Single and happy at the moment, but I wouldn't walk away from a chance of a relationship, though.

Answer 10

i am single. I am in love with my best friend, but I am not waiting for anything there. I just want a decent man who I can talk to about anything and not be judged. I want a guy who can act himself around me and not be afraid that I will judge him. I want someone who can make me laugh.
