    They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
  • Left 6/11, divorced 9/11, single now

    ETA: I guess I've been single for 4 months.  I checked out a while before I left my XH though...

  • Going on a year  - with no regrets
  • I voted 6-9 month after XH. That was a huge mistake. I should have waited.

    After XBF I waited a year. Much better decision.

  • A little over 9 months.  I actually probably should have waited a while longer, but everything fortunately worked out for me.

    We're kind of going out.
  • I seperated from X in June of '10 and went on my first official date in May of '11 so almost a year.

    (I hung out with a couple guys in April, but never even kissed them. I was just testing the waters)

  • Technically I have been single for over 5 years!

     

    I date, I just haven't had a serious relationship. It's all about the fact taht I just haven't found a guy that's worth the compromise yet. I'm confident that I will one day, and until then I have really grown to love my life as a single lady. =)

     

    ETA: I dated a few guys for 2 or 3 months, but I still say I was single because it never became serious.

  • Excluding casual dating, I was single about 10 months after XH and I separated.  First BF Nov '10- January '11.  First Serious BF (L) June '11- Present.

  • My husband left April 2010, we were divorced October 2010, and other than 1 guy I dated casually for about a month in January, I've been single and still am. 

  • I would say I have been single the whole time since nothing I've done has been serious.  I've had a lot of first dates as well as a few really brief (REALLY brief) relationships, and a few casual FWB or something like that situations.  I have come to enjoy my independence and I think that there is someone out there for me who is really, really wonderful.  Until then, I have got my BOB.

    It looks like something I would have written...this is me EXACTLY. Over 5yrs, and I too have not found a guy worth the compromise yet :)

  • Excluding FWB, I was single for 2 years. I tried to turn that FWB into a relationship when it started (single about 6 mos at that point) but it didn't pan out, which was a good thing in the long run. 

    I just think it's extremely unhealthy to start a new relationship while you're still having full-on rage and hatred for the person you broke up with.  

  • Kicked XH out in April of '09, relationship started 7'10... I had FWB in between but I don't count those as relationships... There was one guy I "dated" about 6 months after but it was more like FWB, nothing serious lol!
  • XH and I separated in February of this year. I've dated some, but nothing serious. I would say I've been single since then, so about 8 months or so?
    It's just me and my Marlon now... and I LOVE it that way!
  • I'm still single  - 3 yrs later.

    Good things are worth the wait. ;)

     

    Also,I have seen so many of my friends settle for mediocre relationships. I am too happy now to settle for anything that doesn't just add to the life I already have created for myself.
