      I would say that's more of a resume, but still valid.

   I rarely enter relationships, but when I do, they tend to last for a while. I'm not intentionally picky, but it seems that when I settle down, it's for quite some time. This might become my downfall. The last girl I dated was for 7 years, and I 'accumulated' a 5 year old out of that one. (I have primary custody now if that helps you realize how that one ended up!) I haven't dated in a little over two years. I am enjoying not taking things too seriously and if something comes along, then fine, but I'm not searching for anything either.

   before settling down - I just went after whatever I wanted. I was usually smooth enough to at least get a 1st date. Then invariably they'd see the bracelet on my ankle, or the body in the freezer, or discover my "chamber" and freak out. I'm all like "get real,man - it's the 90's, who doesn't prance around with "Spock ears" on in a medieval torture chamber these days?"
   
   Some people are just so square.

   I feel kinda ashamed to say this, but I'm 16 and I never had a proper bf yet ~_~

   Just as long as I don't die alone.

      Your 16, that's very young. "Proper" boyfreinds don't even come along until your in your 20's so your not missing much. Boyfriends at your age are horny beer drinkers who just want to get in your pants.

      nothing shameful in that - there's no reason for anything serious enough to qualify as "dating" before 16.
      
      Even myself (aka Sir Coolness of Cool) went through a relative dry spell heading into my Freshman year of high school. Somehow being one of the captains on the football team helped with fixing that. Ah, the glory days!

      More often than not, you're dating your 'future ex' in your teens and early twenties.

      I was 17 before I had my first b/f and kiss.

   I asked because I realize that I haven't been single since I was 12. Sad...but totally and completely true.

      Wow, lotusb. Have you tried single-hood out? It's actually pretty exhilarating, though there are obviously pros/cons to both sides. After I was out of a 7 year relationship, everything felt so strange. I had to keep reminding myself not to feel guilty about not 'checking in' with someone. Liberating much...

      No, never tried it. Cheated a lot. But never did the totally alone thing. Even when I moved to NYC away from my bf, although liberating, I just really wanted to be snuggled in his nook. Now I'm headed towards marriage in the very near future. I dated a lot, but don't at all regret it.

   actually, i invented an unbelieveable dating strategy for guys with low self esteem. it's called "the brilliant rejection dating maneuver". it's a short read. it'll give you an inside look into the mind of dating mental case (which believe you me, i know plenty about).

      haha. Say you know in advance that this girl you're going to ask out has a funeral for a close friend or family member -- can we assume that she's definitely interested if she skips the funeral to take you up on your date to Golden Corral, or is she really just a cold person? Hmm.

   I have gone out on first dates with maybe 15 guys in the past year. I am on my 5'th b/f this year. I don't just date for the sake of dating. I am looking for someone to settle down with. I am very confident b/f #5 is "the one," so I don't think there will be a bf #6.

   serial monogamist . First boyfriend 4 years, second boy friend 3 years, husband four years, divorced and redating haha. For some reason people call me a player but given that track history, I don't see it. Maybe people assume it because of my massive amount of male friends?

   I've been categorized in many way. Serial dater, pro dater, even a monogamist when I'm in a relationship.. currently I'm just enjoying myself and dating.
