1. 3 months x)

2. 4 1/2 years roughly? Didn’t really count. I don’t need to date someone in order to be happy with my life.

3. 4ish years. It’s not a big deal for me, and I rather quality over quantity.

4. Three years.

5. Almost 3 years

6. I was single for 7-8 months between my first and second relationships.

   Then again 7-8 months from my second relationship (8.5 years), to my current relationship. I met my now boyfriend and did not anticipate it turning into a relationship but he kept surprising me by doing everything right

7. 17 months and counting.

8. Six months.

9. Been single since 2012 and loving every second of it

10. 10 years and counting

11. It’s been about 8 years, I think. My longest so far with no sign of ending soon.

12. 5 years, after a 3 year relationship. Gave myself a good long break and enjoyed the remains of my twenties. I am with someone new now for 3.5 years, very happy

13. About twenty years. I sorely regret getting into the relationship I foolishly ended the hiatus for. Thankfully it is over; I don’t think I will ever bother to date again.

14. I am still single 9 years after my last relationship and perfectly content with it.

15. 4-5 years between my two long relationships

16. Never, but I’m polyamorous so it’s kind of a different scale. I’ve been in the range of seeing 1 person up to 6 at the same time.

17. 4 years, just after my first boyfriend

18. Rn I feel extremely weird because I’ve never really been single for a long time…

    First relationship was from age 15-19
    Second relationship started around 7 months later and lasted until this year (age 19-27)
    I’ve been single for about 3 months now and it feels so weird… I don’t like it

19. Right now, almost 5 and I don`t think I`m gonna have sex or date ever again.

20. 1 and a half years, on purpose, to focus on school and heal. Honestly, I highly recommend. I wish I stayed single instead of getting with my next boyfriend who turned out to be a train wreck.

21. 4 years and counting.

22. Almost 9 years.

23. I was a serial relationship person basically from 14-26. Then I took 2.5 years to myself and that was the longest

24. Around 8-9 between serious relationships. I had a couple of shorter-term ones in the middle.

25. About a year

26. 6 months truly single followed by another 6 months of a situationship before my partner I became “official.” I was never specifically looking for relationships, I kind of just fell into them with people I had known for a long time already.

27. Year and a half and counting

28. Like a year

29. 3 years, maybe a little longer.

30. 10 months.

31. Seven years

32. I left an abusive relationship in 2008 and didn’t get into another relationship until 2016. I still wasn’t fully healed from my previous relationship, so that just crashed and burned after about 2 years of on-and-off BS. My current relationship started in 2021 and is going very well.

33. Three years after my divorce. I was too busy raising a toddler to date!

34. One year today & it’s bc he passed away , definitely not by my choice

35. From 17-21 I was single with a few flings here and there. I’m 30 now and haven’t been single since… it feels weird to think about!
