Hi! I'm new here. I stumbled on this board today while searching for an article or thread about how long the average woman (or man) goes between dates or relationships. Since I couldn't find any information, I thought I'd start a thread on that topic.
Here's my story: I'm educated, employed, and my friends tell me I'm pretty -- but it's been three and a half years since my last traditional date and about two years since my last blind date. I live in the only metro area in my very rural, very southern state. Around here people tend to marry in or just out of college so at 30+, the dating pool is tiny, to say the least. I'm not into the bar scene or the church scene so I'm stuck somewhere in the middle. My other single girlfriends seem to be in the same boat as me.
So how long has it been since your last date? Days? Months? Years? Any particular reason? I'm dying to know if anyone else is in a similar situation.
Thanks!

It's been about a month since my last first date.
I haven't been on a date since my ex and I broke up over the summer. And it's been a good two years since I've been out on a first date (the length of time my ex and I were together). I want to get back in and start meeting people again, but I just don't have the energy to do it! I've pretty much just concentrated on work the last couple months and spent time with friends and family.
But you're definitely not alone!!

I have not been on a date in 4 yrs. I had a very close friend for 2 of those 4 years, but way back when was the last time I went on anything that resembled a date. I'm in the engineering field, I love my job, I live in a big city, but I'm too busy doing what I love I guess. I can drive an hour to the other side of town to look for THE pair of shoes......but I don't make an effort to look for someone. I don't feel the time is right I guess.
I'm doing what I want, when I want, with whom I want.......can't ask for anything more.
