With all the talk on ITM dating, relationships, thought i'd post a lovely poll to see who's single and who's taken out there on ITM.

I don't know what I am, those options are too clear cut. I'm in that deliciously exciting state of thinking that maybe... he could... be my boyfriend? I mean, I think he likes me, and I like him, so...?

Why do you have to be with a partner and under the thumb ?

Have you never been in a relationship where both parties are equal ??

Nothing exciting bumpmek - we're just on a break, having a "time-out" to sort some shit out.

It's a weird place to be - not entirely single, not entirely taken.

But it's nice too - to be free and single, without the distractions of potenital suitors ;) , and other "stresses" that come with being single (yes, there are many). It's refreshing.

you need an extra option for "not to sure on my status", meaning yeah, i've just started seeing some one, but its the early stages yet and i dont want to become to attached but but also would like to.......
oh, but if you do run into my girl, yeah i am taken.

I am in a relationship with someone who knows me well enough to know exactly how to make me happy and am getting regular sex with a person who, due to plenty of practice, knows exactly how to press my buttons. In addition, I am able to rely on that person to be there for me whenever I need the love and support only a lover can provide.

Now, explain to me again why being single is so great...

Very single and very happy being single... It's been a while now too.
This is almost turning into a dating service. We've had the profile thingy's (my name's neil and i like long walks on the beach... :meh: *spew*) and the 'post a picture of yourself' thread and now we're finding out who's single here! Well I've never actually tried the whole internet dating thing but I guess if you don't look at it like that (ie. as "internet dating"), it could always happen. I've met a couple of good people off ITM so it wouldn't be impossible to meet a babe I really like... Not exactly a searcher though.

I think the "under the thumb" in this poll should be taken in the context that you would do anything for your partner - not that you are controlled by them

And BTW single

PM me if you need some moral support (or just someone to bitch and moan to) - it's not the easiest situation to be in. But like i said, it can be really refreshing. You can spend some time with yourself, without having to think about boys, dating and all that. Consider it "you" time.

Goodluck :)

Don't worry peakin bunny being single has its ups and downs like everything else... you just have to learn to stop depending on other people to make your life seem fulfilled and go out and have a ball being single. After all, you have the rest of your life to be an old married maid and only a short time to enjoy the single life!!

Have mixed emotions though, cause I'm happy with my gf and she is a heaps top chick.

but at this age I wish I was out there messing around as there are so many mad looking chicks out there.

Especially the chicks I meet from work, I'm always serving mad looking chicks at general pants trying on low jeans :P

being single = my phone bill being cheaper :lol: but really i get to do what i want when i want to and not have to tell someone what i'm doing where i'm going and what time i'll be home. just worry about my own shit and that's it. i see my friends with there girlfriends and when the girlfriend wants to go home (even though my friends don't want to, because if they don't they will be in da dog house) they have to leave as well. i'm just after someone that will want to stay out to the wee hours of the morning, if she's feeling tired i wouldn't mind walking her to a cab to make sure that she is ok and was able to still do the things i love to do

tristan i know exactly what you are talking about. you think how the hell did he get her ???

been shingle for x amount of months less than a year and more than 6 months. i'm having the time of my life, going to system, TT next week :-D and nearly going out every weekend !!!

06-Aug-02, 03:08pm
After 5 years of continuous back-to-back relationships, I've now been single for *gasp* a whole year. And loving it. I've learned more about myself and what I'm capable in the past year than I ever thought possible.

I still have little flings and affairettes and random pashes, but I've found that the merest thought of commitment makes me run for the hills these days.


Maybe I'm just not meeting the right people...

Same here funkstu.

Although I loved being single and learnt plenty bout myself, nothing beats what I have with my boy.

Agony aunts R US!!

I have been both... or maybe that should be all 4? Happily single, happily attached, miserably single, miserably attached.

Each one has their good points, and of course which category you belong to at the mo is going to influence your response.

I was single for a year... no, a bit longer, excluding flings and "affairettes" as Feebs has so eloquently described those dangerous liasons! But nothing that I would call a relationship.

I am now blissfully attached, and wouldn't change it for anything in the world. But I think that having experienced both (or all 4?) sides of the coin allows you to appreciate the good things in life.

And, oh yeah, what Stu said. ;)

I'm a taken woman. I really hate the term under the thumb, because my relationship is based on trust so we do pretty much as we want things with our friends, on our own or as a couple. There's no way I'd stay in a relationship with someone that was possesive and didnt let me do my own thing, and that as if I felt I needed to answer to them 24-7.

I like the fact that I have someone to come home to, and the fact that I don't have to skank up and go looking to pick up, cost too much on alcohol.

Being in a relationship isnt as bad as what people make it out to be, in my situation, I have the best of both fields

So how is Mrs Plamer FunkStu? :P

I haven't been in a 'relationship' since January and it hasn't really phased me much. But sure there are occasions every now and then when you miss the companionship. Though, everyone who I have met lately and I have been interested seems to be in a relationship already.

Jedi
06-Aug-02, 03:37pm
been with my gf for about 2 years and 8 months now.

no one is under the thumb in my relationship.

the only thing is i let my gf do as she wants, she can anywhere with anyone she wants to and i won't stop her as i trust her.

but when it comes to my turn to go out with the boys you can tell she gets upset, she can't tell me not to go. but she still gets upset a little bit.

one stage she was heaps insecure, but she has gotten heaps better now.

question for you ladys out there, what makes your gf's go insecure?????

Have been single for 11 months now. Ex boyfriend back in the picture. Still trying to keep strong as he wants to very much work on building our relationship again. Only problem is he has told me he has completely broken up with this new girl as he still thinks about me all the time - not sure if he is lying to me. What are your opinions, should I ask him (who has lied to me before) or ask the girl herself? Please help . . .

FunkStu
06-Aug-02, 03:49pm
Mr Rule of Thumb on Exes:

If you've broken up with them for a reason, it's probably still a good reason.

dancingirl
06-Aug-02, 03:52pm
Again, what Stu said.

Also, if the problem is lying - what makes you think he's hesitate to lie to you again? Lying is the most deplorable of relationship sins, if you don't have trust then you have nothing.

lush
06-Aug-02, 03:53pm
if you ask the girl, then you've already shown you don't trust him, so no matter what her answer is your relationship is on shakey ground. without trust you really go nowhere, and end up feeling bitter and paranoid

Would i have bumped into u Jedi? I worked for Home up until a couple of months ago,i was always coming in and talking to u guys,leaving flyers behind and giving u guest lists...sound familiar???

Now,back to the thread...TAKEN!!! :blush: ;D For the first time in over 4 yrs,and its been a little weird getting used to it! hehehe Esp when i start to really miss seeing him,it freaks me out a bit (theres a very good chance he'll read this....hey babe!!! Mwwaaah!) :lol:

But its nice,i feel content,AND,i still feel like myself,we're on equal ground...u know when u meet someone and go totally overboard and elevate them to a status they dont have,and u ...lose a part of urself sorta...does that make sense? Its not until u snap out of it that u realise that wasnt really u...anyway,i used to do that,but its different this time.Ive been myself and he likes what he sees,and thats a really good feeling :blush:

I'm single...have been for a while. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Although last time there was a prospect I completely freaked at losing my freedom to do whatever I want. I guess that meant I still want to be single.

It does bother me a lot though that in sooo many of the 'happiness' threads that most people post about their partners as being the one thing that makes them so happy. 'snuggles in bed', 'holding your loved one', 'walks on the beach with your loved one' blech!!!

it's possible to be happy and single you know!!!

I'm only recently single, however my relationship wasn't a great one, i wasn't his girlfriend, but we did everything that people in relatoinship do. We were best friends but there was a lot of history. Its been about 2 months, and it still hurts. I miss him a lot. I can't wait to be on the other side of all this.

Not even thinking about looking.

06-Aug-02, 04:16pm
I can't imagine a guy ever having me under his thumb (I'm too big to fit there anyways :P ).. I am a very independant girl. Relationships are about trust and honesty. I couldn't stand to be in a relationship where I didn't trust him to go out on his boys nights and have a good time and he didn't trust me to do the same. You need to stay your own person and keep your own interests and friends as well as spend time with each other.

f1 - thanks for your support but there is not a nasty thing I could say about this boy. I think he is one of the most decent, genuine, loving boys on earth. If on the other hand, you need a 'virtual' shoulder, feel free to pm me :)

Single and taken both have their good points, but, when it comes down to it, I think I would rather have someone to curl up at night.

Agreed...no denying that someones partner obviously makes them happy,but....maybe its in the way its worded,u can take different things from it...im confused now!!!

Well,this is what i was thinking b4 i thought too much:

A lot of people see relationships/talk about relationships as the two people being two halves of a circle,and now theyre matched and complete (aaaaawwwwww!) But to be true to u,to be the person u r and have a relationship that is TRULY complete,u have to be a complete circle in yourself....make sense? Picture a circle made of two halves,a ring...now picture two interlocking rings...get it?

I was thinking that earlier cos a lot of people talk about finding themselves again or wanting to be their own person...i think theres a lot of single ring relationships out there.

Of course its possible to be happy and single ;D ,and if u cant be,u cant be happy in a relationship...i think thats what i was trying to say:?

Well i guess I am definitely in the taken category! We've had time apart in different countries but that has always reaffirmed things for us rather than caused problems - well it does cause a few problems ;) but nothing too major!

From my own experience I think it's pretty vital to have a lot in common with your other half ie interests and opinions - think about how much time you spend with them, that's an awful lot of time if you can't have a decent conversation or discussion!

Sure there's lots of other stuff to do together but in our case at least we consider each other best friends first and foremost. It just so happens that we love each other deeply as well...but the friendship part is so important to us, it means we want to hang out together, listen to the same music (mostly) but also recognise that we need time with other friends too.

You're so right bumba!! I know what you're getting at :) Sometimes I think I've been single for this long because the universe is trying to make me learn this exact lesson before I meet someone. It's kinda working. Actually, it has worked. Almost too much the other way. Relationships don't really work out if one of the people is so used to their independance that it's difficult to let another person into their lives.

Single, most of the time I hate it, some of the time i love it. Truth be told, I haven't had a "serious" relationship, but too many mornings with a different girl, and now i resent it, for the first time I turned down a one nighter last weekend, am concentrating on finding the perfect girl for me :)

I agree with some one that posted on the thread, I want someone that parties till dawn, and doesnt drag me back home at 4am :|

It really sucks seeing some of my freinds happily together, I mean, its great, theyre happy, but its a reminder for me as well :(

O'well :)

I haven't been in a serious relationship for over 2 years now.....had a few flings in that period....but they haven't developed into anything….

I must say for the first time in a while I feel totally comfortable being in this single phase.....at times I feel like I want a little lovin....but I think – eh I've got the rest of my life to be with that special someone - live it up now and enjoy the time with your friends! That's what I'm doing!;)

but when it comes to my turn to go out with the boys you can tell she gets upset, she can't tell me not to go. but she still gets upset a little bit.

one stage she was heaps insecure, but she has gotten heaps better now.

question for you ladys out there, what makes your gf's go insecure?????

have the same type of thing happeneing here, but we have been together for a bit less time, about 1 1/2 years, but i would love to know the answer to the question that youasked. My guess is that it is not that they don't trust us, but they maybe don't trust everyone else out there... any thoughts?

Taken taken taken.

All u singles - remember to have lots of fun!!! ;)

In my opinion, girls can be wary of their partner going out with the mates not because they distrust him but because they distrust the mates. I mean, there are a lot of guys (and girls) out there who just love to fuck up their friend's relationships for some unknown reason. So they drag him to strip joints, meat markets, etc where they then all proceed to get smashed and point out every hot chick they see to each other.

Like one guy said when I asked him why he never took female friends on boy's nights out: "I would never want any woman I know to see me behave like that." There is just a horrible kind of connotation to the phrase "boys night out" - even if what happens is totally innocent.

In that kind of atmosphere, the gf just has to wonder whether her boi WANTS to screw around, even if he doesn't actually do it. And if he wants to, how long before the circumstances are perfect (ie - just had big fight, just got TOO drunk) for the want to become the act?

Of course, its all a bit paranoid under many circumstances but if you don't trust your partner's mates (male or female) you are gonna feel a bit insecure about him (or her) spending time with them. After all - regardless of whether you trust your partner - can you trust anyone who is totally off their face? Nah - not really.

i'd been without a g/f for over a year & hated most of it. i still had heaps of fun & everything but there was never someone there just for me. nobody to be close to. now i've been in a relationship for 5 months (it's going so fast) and although i miss her during the week, that soulful loneliness of when i was single is gone :) we don't put thumbs on each other, but she does try & take me hostage when i have to go home ;)

I think there can be some relationships where one partner trys to control the other, and it may only be in subtle ways. I guess a good relationship is somewhere you feel comfortable and you dont have to act like someone you are not. Trust is a good thing too...

Could be a number of contributing factors, such as;

self image
past experiences

And the list goes on and on.

If you give her constant reassurance it will pass with time.

07-Aug-02, 01:56pm
Why are women attracted to arseholes??? Because they have the courage and the confidence to say 'No' to us. If a woman is allowed to do whatever she wants in a relationship, then she probably will, and end up walking all over the guy in the process without realising it until the guy ends up resenting her power in the relationship.

If you are equals, and have the courage to say no to each other sometimes, or say "Hey, you know what, maybe we should do this instead" it gives you the starting point to come up with a compromise which will suit both parties, instead of one party having their own needs met all the time.

Then again, sometimes girls just prefer guys who don't treat them well. Why is beyond me... give me a nice guy any day :) (I've had my fill of arseholes)

I was having this exact conversation with my friend the other day... both of us have a long and illustrious history of Arsehole Dating, despite being fairly worldly and sorted chicks.

My friend, who is older and wiser than I, pointed out that men with arsehole qualities (ie. arrogance, "issues", emotional baggage etc) also often have that certain special "something else" that sets them apart. These men have the capacity to either work out their issues and go on to be great, successful human beings or remain in their dickhead rut forever.

She concluded that we recognize the potential in these guys and choose to base the relationship we have with them on that, until it all falls apart.

Well, it sounded plausible to me...

I have been with my girlfriend for over a year and she is without a doubt the most amazing person in the world to me.

She is funny, witty, loving, caring, sexy, sweet, supportive and above all she knows and understands me.

This last 12 months and 25 days have been nothing but special.

She enriches my life and makes me feel loved.

Everyday we are together is amazing. Everyday we are apart (which is very few), makes me appreciate her all that more!

She is my Super Julius, my Bat Julius, my Clam Chowder, my Clammy Clam but more than anything else......she is my Minx!;)

In an effort to stop this thread from continuing on this "all guys with girlfriends are arseholes" route, I'll give you all the link to a thread in the Perth forum that covers this.

A thread about nice guys and whether or not they finish last.......or even start the race. (http://www.inthemix.com.au/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22979)

griggle, I wasn't at all trying to imply that all guys with girlfriends are arseholes (I think I would have been lynched if I said that)
I think that alot of the posts prove that they're not ALL bastards.

It's just that alot of girls go out with arseholes, knowing full well that the guys an arsehole to begin with. As Feebs was eluding to, I think it may be coz the girl thinks they can change the guy fot the better.

Aswell as that, I meet sooooo many awesome girls that deserve sooooo much better than the bloke they're attatched to. Everyone else can see it but they are blinded by the good looks, nice car, good job or whatever. But he's still an arsehole.

on the other hand, guys are notorious for choosing partners based on physical qualities alone. But I dont know many guys that continue a relationship with an outright bitch (or brainless twat for that matter).

If you go out with someone you go out with all of them, faults and all, and you have to accept them and love them for it anyway. If there are a thousand things you want to change about them, don't go out with them in the first place. People should not be expected to change for their partner, it is completely unfair!

Yes I do miss the hugs, watching movies, romantic dinners and weekends away but I have so many memories that it keeps me being this way. I got in a r'ship straight after I broke up after but realised I wasn't not going to get myself into something I just got out!

Now I'm having fun! Spending time with my g/fs and own my own and not having to worry about a winging bf. Not interested in any r'ships at least for a long time.

Taken, well and truely.

I have to agree with Nars, that being under the thumb means that you'd do anything for someone else rather than you not having a choice in the matter.

Single and mostly not happy about it.

Would be nice to have someone to share everything with but very difficult to find the sort of person I want to be with who is willing to share me with my DJing.

I work all week at proper work and then pretty much all night every Friday & Saturday, then sleep all day Sunday and start again on Monday

Have tried to combine the 2 both here and in London and it hasn't worked...the girl has always (after initially saying they know what I do and am cool with it) asked me to cut down or stop DJing to spend more time with them.

I really wish it could be different but experience has taught me it's a choice between my DJing or a relationship and I'm not ready to stop DJing yet so I guess I'll carry on being lonely.

Thankfully I've got so many good friends around me here now it's not all doom & gloom...but some one to cuddle up with would be nice.

Jackster :(

Therein lies the problem.

Or maybe it is because you are just too fussy Jackster. I seem to remember you posting about the fact that you will not consider being with a girl if she has ugly feet....I only noticed because people tell me how ugly my feet are all the time. :p

jackster
08-Aug-02, 01:32pm
Jesus...that's a damn good memory you've got there Jiminy! I have quite small feet for a bloke so have always had this aversion to girls with big feet yes!

Apart from that I don't think I'm too fussy!!!! :lol:

And getting less fussy as time wears on! :p

Mabye you just havent found the right girl??
My boyfriend dj's weekends, uni full time, and works one day a week so us finding time can be difficult -and yeah sometimes it sux when he has to play - but I would never ask him to quit for me, rather just try and spend as much time as we can - dont loose hope becos they are ladies out there can handle it (even though it can get tough)
Hope it works out for you

Third option.... I'm single, and therefore under my own thumb, or is that my own thumb under me?? Sorry that was bad!

I think you make your own life what it is. You don't need someone to make you happy. Make yourself happy! But of course its nice to have someone to be happy WITH!

I am single and not that happy about it. There have been many opportunities whilst out on the town but i am always in the music mode and can never tear myself away for long enough to have a conversation with someone.

Here is a typical conversation when i am out:

Person to me: Hi, how is it going? R u having a good night?

Reply: yes. ( and gets back to dancing ).

Other person walks off while i am still dancing.

Music is ruining my love life. Maybe i should head back to the pub scene and some AC/DC.
On second thought, maybe not. I will just have to try harder. Wish me luck.

This last 12 months and 25 days have been nothing but special.

She enriches my life and makes me feel loved.

Everyday we are together is amazing. Everyday we are apart (which is very few), makes me appreciate her all that more!

She is my Super Julius, my Bat Julius, my Clam Chowder, my Clammy Clam but more than anything else......she is my Minx!;)

Taken, and been taken for nearly 5 years...and before that about 4 years...and before that...2 years...somehow, I manage to not be single for too long...I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be single at this age...but then there is nothing wrong with my relationship to run away from...and I need to be careful, I post under my real name...silly me! :tripping:

I find that I rarely look, it just happens, whenever i have looked nothing has eventuated.

Generally speaking though, apparently, I'm not normal anyway. I never fight with my partner, never argue, just trust and work things out...but rarely does anything need to be "worked out", as they're discussed before they get out of hand...not that they ever get out of hand....sounds logical, but appears it's not normal to not fight...i've been trying to pick one for a few years now...*sigh*, just not working! hehe.

but my friend say "man!naoki why you are single?why dont you wanna get someone to have fun with???are you gay?so,you can get boyfriend then" like this.then i say "im not gay im streight.yeah i will i will". actuarlly not "i dont",i think "i cant".
dont know i just dont know........need more confidence???i got confidence for other things though.
anyway,people been single is got some reason.maybe wanna success with business or wanna achive dreams&wants more freedam.if we got someone who share with our life,thats realy having fun but may we cant achive the dream&may be lost our freedam.
some people after 30 or 40 then meet someone,some people after 70 then meet someone.some people married when they are teenagers.
anyway,i think being single is not negative thing,positive thing.if you wanna being single you have to be tough.
me?dont know......but im not weak enough so,after get weak i mean mentally,ill find someone who support me.

Madam Sinecure
01-Sep-02, 10:11pm
Being single and being attached both have their merits....
I'm single at the moment and relishing it. For me, relationships are a pastime and I change my pastimes on a regular basis.

I don't believe there is only "one" person in the world out there for each of us, rather there are as many possibilities as there are people. If history is anything to go by, I'm going to have a variety of lovers for variable durations throughout my life - it would surprise me greatly if I ever settle on being with one person "forever" (or in one city for a prolonged period). It's just not me!!

I'm all for dedication, and I believe once you make a promise, it must be fulfilled. That said, I'm sceptical of marriage - a promise is a promise, and how can you make a commitment to love someone as long as you both shall live? You can't see the future so how can you promise an outcome?

The best wedding vows I ever heard are taken from the Balinese -"I will love you as best as I can for as long as I can". Nice and open agreement to do your best for as long as you can do it.

Doing what makes you happy without hurting others is the key the rest is just a case of formalities....

01-Sep-02, 10:37pm

LittleMissNawty
01-Sep-02, 11:26pm
im not single, dating another itmer but didnt meet him on itm.

Madam Sinecure, agreed with some of your stuff there, i really like the balinese wedding vows.

I hope to be with my current man forever. I take each day as it comes though. Shit does happen, stuff can go wrong. I was in a 7 year relationship that ended bad, i would never have forseen it to go so wrong in those first few months we were smitten with each other.

I also totally despise the traditional wedding vows also.

littleblonde
02-Sep-02, 10:04am
I would agree that single and taken both have their merits. As long as you have a great group of friends, single isn't so bad, can't say it is great, but it can be a lot of fun. It means you have to be more outgoing though, and meet new people etc as you haven't got anyone to kind of hide behind.

Taken is good as well, having the stability and comfort of someone you love, and knowing they feel the same about you. I guess one of the problems lies in identifying if it is just habit, or if it is love, but I guess if you are with the right person, you'd know.

Well when this thread was started i was happily single but now i am in a relationship with the most gorgeous girl in the world.

We are actually best friends turned lovers and it is great having the best of both worlds. We can have a ball just sitting at my place with a DVD, a pizza and lots of silly behaviour or we can both go out and dance the night away next to each other knowing we have someone to go home and snuggle up with.

All i can say is that life is good but love is GREAT!
