Co-habiting should be in the poll.

Not so much a relationship status as a living arrangement though.

30 single and I guess I'm looking. Not the worst looking chap about but I just can't seem to find someone to match my personality.

I'm 33, single and looking by doing the whole 'if you don't look you will find someone' routine.

Think a change of tack is needed!

I guess you are single untill you have had 3 dates and then you are 'dating' and I suppose when you both agree to "go steady" then you are in a relationship......thats my reckoning anyway

If you're typing that locked in you're bedroom by the glow of the monitor with the curtains drawn in the middle of the afternoon, then no, no it won't......

If the above is true* and you never leave the house, then I'm not so sure someone breaking into your house and having their way with you is a good basis for a relationship:D


(*I'm fairly sure the above isn't true)

That's what you get when you go out with another guy. It's like riding your best mate and it's the most laid back relationship ever!

Im actually surprised at how many people are 'single and looking'.....not so with the amount in relationships. I was expecting that sector to win out.

Eh single and trying not to be looking.

Recently enough out of a long enough relationship and still trying to get over the hump.

I've had it both ways and I've just found a relationship with lads to be more straight forward and easy going. I suppose since we'd share the same guy's perceptive on things there's less misunderstanding about things.

Not saying it's superior to a relationship with women, just different.

Not really, only the last few years my sexuality shifted more towards the lads.

It's little things like seeing my mates who would be in their early 20s get limited in when they can go out and some who'd need permission if it went on too often. I was with a lad we never had to bother about that and we did as we liked.

Plus no shíte chickflicks!

Love is all encompassing and boundless. It's free. The only "rule" would be to love others in a manner by which you would want to be loved.:)

Oh right, I didn't realise you could turn gay.

Your mates need to grow up, anyone who is in a relationship where they need permission to do something needs to take a long hard look at why they're with a person like that.

Agreed, chickflicks are shyte. I'm sure there are men (gay and straight) who like them though.

No you can't obviously, but my interest shifted as I got older. I had no control over it.

I agree with you, the two of them that are whipped and sometimes have to run it by them to see if there's no issue shouldn't put up with it, but thing is sometimes all the lads that are in a relationship will get pissed off a few times because their girlfriends are pissed off that they're out. I think it's crazy, but I've seen it often enough, and not just in my circle of friends but with older groups of guys too.

I doubt they all need to grow up just because they get some stick off their girlfriends for enjoying themselves as much as they'd want to.

That's just something I noticed I didn't have to deal with as much, if ever he thought I was going out too much and maybe not seeing me as often, he could just come out drinking with the lads as well. That's pretty much how that potential confrontation was always avoided.

Well I dunno about turn Whoops, but I have known a few people who echo 1ZRed's experience. Started off identifying as straight and had gay relationships and even settled down in one. I haven't asked all of them. Not something you bring up in polite convo... "Jaysus the weathers shíte eh?. So how come you're gay now?" But the ones I have chatted with said they were convinced they were straight but later as 1ZRed put it their "interest shifted". One woman I knew thinks of herself as straight, but had a same sex relationship for over a year and now she's straight again(even during it she thought of herself as "straight"). It's all very fluid with some folks I suppose and fair enough.

Your mates need to grow up, anyone who is in a relationship where they need permission to do something needs to take a long hard look at why they're with a person like that.

+1000 Whoops, I'd be gone like a shot TBH, though I have known sooooo many guys(and a couple of gals, but less so*) in that kinda situation. I've known two guys who got married in front of near strangers because the wife didn't "approve" of his mates, so they were only allowed to the afters. Currently I can think of another two who would get a low level background hard time over this kinda thing. They'd be "let out", but there would be a face on afterwards and their longtermer/wife would go out much more. Had a couple of close calls myself TBH. It can sneak up on you too, in the heady luuurve early days.

Agreed, chickflicks are shyte. I'm sure there are men (gay and straight) who like them though.

Oh sure there are. Hell I've watched a few myself

Me, I'd be single and not looking. Circumstances at the mo would be part of it, but mostly I really don't feel the need for a relationship at all at the moment and for quite a while too. I've met some very nice women in the last few years, but looking back my longtermers tended to be women who were bloody hard work. There was always some sort of crisis. They never took the day off from their lives kinda thing. There was a time I could go with the flow, but not now. That said clearly I was selecting for that type as there are many many out there that aren't hard work, so it's not them as such but more like I can't trust myself to pick a good un.




* I've known fewer women well so that likely explains the diff in numbers,
