Guise: How Many Girlfriends Have you Had?

Three, but I’m kind of conservative with whom I call my “girlfriend.” I know people that will introduce the person they’ve been on a few dates with as their girlfriend, but with me that’s still the “we kind of like each other and enjoy having sex and we’re continuing to get to know one another” phase. They really need to come up with a name for that phase.

Been there. Does she count as a .5?

Around 10.

Serious girlfriends? 5. And that’s counting the 2 in high school.

Women I’ve been on multiple dates with? that gets up to the 20+ range.

  1. That’s counting the girl I dated (not exclusively) in high school, the girl after high school, the girl who visited from another country and saw me as a possible green card, one more girl in college, and my wife. I was abstinent until marriage.

Six. As in females with which I was in some sort of exclusive romantic agreement. Which is my working definition anyway.

One. Dated for 8ish years then married her.

I"m going with 10, since that’s about the number I’ve had a relationship with. If I simply added partners, I’d be over 20.

Definitions are, as always, everything.

Girlfriend: Def(base.state:loved, sexual.state:active)

So, I, as of several years of experience can categorize precisely 6 women that fit those parameters.

Oh dear god, no. I’ve had several girlfriends with absolutely no desire that it would turn into something more.

Yep, same number as I’ve had.

There’s a lot of grey area here, though I’m comfortable saying 6-8. That’s since I turned 30. Before that, maybe another 10 more.

I said over 20 because I was counting 2 and 3 month relationships. 2 marriages, 2 live-ins, and maybe 4 that I was somewhat serious about.

Only two, but nobody knew it was me because I wore a Guy Fawkes mask…

Define girlfriend, IceQube. I wouldn’t count fuck-buddies, but others might.

This is one of those questions where the poll choices tell you more than the poll answers do.

Does a girlfriend experience count?

One million!

Wait no.

Two million!

One hundred million!

I didn’t. Hurrah for being in the mode!

Good question for polarbear IMO.

I can dredge up 12, but I didn’t date in high school; I’m 65.

I can’t answer because definitions are vague (meaning my definitions.)
