My survey wasn't based on being nosey or intrusive. I wanted it to be more like a support forum for some of us that are single...
1. Where and how have you met ALL your significant others?
At a store where they worked, a show, at the train station
2. Are you the one that usually makes the first move or the one that is approached?
They've all approached me
3. Were you sober or drunk when you met all your significant others?
Sober, half-sober, blasted drunk
4. Have you ever had a one-night stand?
Once, and by fate I guess it was never meant to be only a one-night stand because we met again by pure chance and it's been tearing our hearts out for 7 months now. I think _I'm_ now the one that isn't fully over it. This was both our first "one-night stand" (and I never thought I'd EVER have one because I've always been so against them) and we've kind of agreed that we'll never have one again since this one was so magical; it could never ever work like this again...
5. What is the longest amount of time you were single?
One year
6. Do you believe in soul mates?
I'm not sure...I'd like to believe this but I've become so cynical about love and relationships now. Perhaps there is such a thing in this vast world, but the question is more based on IF you'll ever get to meet them...
7. Do long distance relationships work? Have you ever had one?
They are definitely not practical or logical, but love isn't always logical I'm a hopeless romantic. I guess it depends on a lot of factors--how commited and connected you both feel AND how much effort BOTH sides make, and 1 side willing to move later on--the longer the time apart, the more chances of the feelings involved to drift away.
I have sort of had one. I know that _I_ could have had a long distance relationship because once I've found someone, I don't have any interest in looking elsewhere. If they are in my heart and mind, the distance sometimes doesn't matter as much but I don't think this works for most people. The past 7 months I had enough feelings for the other person, but I guess they didn't...
8. Have you ever gotten back together with someone you broke up with? How long did it last?
In my first relationship, we broke up many times and we eventually stayed together for about 5 years. EVERY relationship takes a lot of work from BOTH sides. If there are feelings still involved from both sides, perseverence and communication are the key points if there are problems that need to be resolved...
9. What's the longest period of time that you've gone without sex with another person? (Sorry, this question doesn't apply to virgins, assistance of hands or assistance of toys)
About 3 months...when I'm not in a relationship, sex isn't something I strive for. The idea of casual sex doesn't interest me and these days, there's too much risk involved...
10. Looking back at ALL of your relationships/sexual experiences, can you actually say, "I had the best sex I've ever had with _that_ person", OR is it all just a blur/I don't really remember or the current sex you're having now automatically becomes the best sex in your mind? Straight honesty here, no diplomatic answers!
I can say that I've had the best sex I've ever had with a particular ex and we still both agree. We've also decided that it's best not to be around each other when we are both drunk, due to some occasions
11. How long does it usually take you to get over someone? How long did it take you to get over that REALLY special person?
For me, when I fall for someone, I fall hard so the break-up is usually long and painful for me. It took me about 1 year to get over someone and just when I think I'm finally over that person, these feelings start coming back up all of a sudden--I hate it but I just can't help it.
12. What did you think of this survey?
I tried to create it so that it was honest and direct--they're questions that _I_ at least think about(maybe others too) and I wanted people to think and reflect a little. I've noticed many questions being asked about sex, love and relationships, so I thought it would be nice to have a "full" survey, but I think many people took it the wrong way(saying it was too intrusive)...
