What is the longest relationship you've had with someone you met via OLD?

7 months (I'm not going to count the LDR because it's weird and up in the air, even though it's technically gone on for longer)

Who initiated contact first?

Me

How much time passed between the first contact and the first face-to-face meeting?

2-3 days

Are you/were you dating exclusively? If yes, how long had you been dating when you decided to be exclusive?

We expressly agreed to (including a discussion of taking down profiles), on our 2nd date, but it turned out he was lying about that.

If you're no longer together, how did it end?

See above.

If you're no longer together, do you still have contact with each other?

No.

How many of your reln'ships that began with meeting someone online lasted more than...one month? a bunch

two months? I don't know...3, 4?

three months? 2 or 3.

What is the longest relationship you've had with someone you met via OLD?

One was almost a year and another was 10 months or so.

Who initiated contact first?

I posted the ad, but they both responded.

How much time passed between the first contact and the first face-to-face meeting?

Two weeks, approximately for both of them.

the one year guy I started dating exclusively immediately. The 10 month guy, it was about 3-4 weeks.

If you're no longer together, how did it end?

10 month---the infatuation period ended and realization struck that we weren't really compatible. A year later, he came out of the closet and told his best friend he was in love with him.

One year---he said he hadn't been in love with me for a couple of months by the time we broke it off.

If you're no longer together, do you still have contact with each other?

Nope, no contact with either one---10 month because I started dating his best friend, which led to him coming out. One year decided there was no way he could be friends with me and has thus moved back to the east coast.

I've had 3-4 that have lasted a month to two months...the rest have been 1-3 dates.

Him

He was dating me exclusively. I was very upfront and told him I was not exclusive with him. Both profiles were up.

I ended it, he was too clingy and very needy and I didn't want to be exclusive with him.

If you're no longer together, do you still have contact with each other?

Yes, he refuses to give it up. He even winked at me on match.com the other day. My first wink and it's an ex. woohoo!!

We were exclusive from the beginning. We both removed our profiles. It was almost

Out of the blue he left a voice message saying he didn't have the time or energy for
a serious relationship. It really broke my heart.

He did.

I am currently dating exclusively, we were together for about a month before bringing up the exclusive talk.
With regards to my 2 year relationship mentioned above, it was pretty much an instant exclusive thing.

My current relationship is still going well. My 2 year relationship ended because our life goals had diverged too much.

Nope.

Three. All three lasted more than 3 months.
