michelin89: Just asking. How long can you stay without being in a relationship and Being Intimate?

My record so far has been 2 years +.

It was not easy o, but self-control helped me a lot. But I noticed that my parents alone supported me in this decision. Not that they openly said it, but they never asked me questions like: why don't you have a boyfriend? Well maybe because the thought of a daughter who does adult things is not really fancied by parents in general, however my mates were always on my neck to date a guy.

For some reasons, some thought it was due to lack of opportunity and wanted to force me into the arms of abominable creatures , but it was just a conscious decision to regain myself after my last relationship ended.

Good to know though that guys become even more desperate in their chase the moment they learn you've been single for long: either they think you need one badly or that you are a hard to get type.

So people, share your experience(s).

PS: may I add that I have never felt so good like I do during singlehood. It's pure freedom!

...its been hard 4 me ooo, i'v been forced to stay single single cos i'v nt been able to replace ma ex.., dem gurls ar just so pompous

Cant even stay 4 anoda day witout som sot of relationship, because if i no chase dem, dem go even chase me enter bush.

Mine has been 5years till now...not i can't stop a girl but i don't need relationship now.. I've lot's of female friends that people will think they are my girlfriends.

"Stay single" or stay without sex? I have stayed without for all of 2 days. Meaning, I get it every other day.

dammy1985: This is my 6th year now. I studied myself and realised I loose focus once in any ralationship. Besides, ladies are not predicable because,once I am in love am in love. Now, am 27. I just have to get myself established/a good job thereafter, search for my dream woman by the help of God and get settled.

On point @Dammy, you spoke my mind exactly *thumbs up*
