So there hasn’t been much in here lately so I am going to give us something to talk about.
I was wondering how many of us are single or taken.
Taken questions – How long you been in the relationship? How did you meet him/her? Who made the first move? Have you tried to get them to join Exodus? And anything else you want to add.
Single questions – Have you had a boy/girlfriend before? Is there anyone you’re currently interested in? Do you choose to be single or kind of forced into it? And anything else you want to add.

I've been single and continue to be single. And since I'm at Georgia Tech, where there are no girls, I will probably continue being single for a while. Awesome.
But seriously, I like to think that I'm single because I'm waiting for the perfect girl. Ya know, hot, yet funny and smart. What I won't mention is that I already did meet the perfect girl. Wait. I mentioned it.
Though currently, I'm not really interested in anyone. I lost interest in the two girls I've ever legitimately considered dating due to various factors that I'm too lazy to explain here. I mean, I almost have a thing for one of my really good friends, but I basically consider her like my little sister, and dating her would be incestuous.

Single. Never had a girlfriend (cue gasps of shock). Sure, there's always at least one girl I'm interested in, but AS OUTSPOKEN CHARISMATIC AND YES FLIRTATIOUS AS YOUR DEAR UNCLE POHATU IS WHEN HE'S WITH HIS LADY FRIENDS, I'm just way too shy to actually ask a girl out on a date, which I guess might kind of answer your last question.

Hm, shyness, yeah, that's also a thing I forgot to mention. And whenever I managed to muster up the cojones to ask someone out, something happened to impede me. It's mildly comical.
Though technically, I did jokingly ask out my little-sister-like-friend.

Single presently, though I've had a goodly share of relationships that were dating/almost dating. (longest was Loogs, though that wasn't a very happy one towards the end.)
Currently? Caught in an ugly love triangle sort of situation and halfway tempted to just give up on it and date somebody totally unconnected. I'm kinda stuck being single right now, as 90% of the girls I'm willing to go out with are either taken/still in highschool (Seniors now, but still...), and the other 10% all have various other complications that would make going out with them kinda... tricky.

I didn’t realize I had forgotten to post my own answers.
I am taken. We’ve actually been friends for the past eight or so years since we met in middle school. But since we went camping last summer things slowly began changing. We’re both pretty slow so it took all of fall semester, winter break, and the first half of the spring semester before we finally became official. I’m pretty sure tomorrow is two months. We both kinda made the first move at the same time but I think I was the main instigator.
I did try getting her to join Exy a couple of times since she is into anime, manga, and possibly a slight interest in RP. Her screen name is kk122 but so far I can’t seem to get her to post anything much less get on.

Taken, internet and you all know him. ^^" So, I've known him since I joined Pokeschool, just over 4 years ago now. I made the first move (nearly 10 months ago now), since he's surprisingly bad at asking people out apparently. >>" Since then, though, he's been taking the plane down to see me every two months or so, and we're both going to uni next year, hopefully close enough not to have to pay stupid amounts to see each other. ^^ I think I was the one who prompted him to join Exy, but yeah. 'Twasn't just me, I'm sure. So yes. Healthy, happy relationship, perhaps surprisingly so for one maintained over 300 miles.

I am currently taken by a beautiful gal named Jami, we have known each other since kindergarten! so basically it has been almost 14 years that we have known each other. We have been dating for almost a year, off and on, because of slight issues that we have had with ourselves. Now I am in love with her more than any one knows!
We hung out a lot more after our final year of highschool, during a whole bunch of graduation parties, so I decided to let her know that I liked her a lot and that we should date. She accepted my offer, and so we have been going steady since. ^_^;;

Single
To be honest, im not sure how much i like that fact, i've had relationships in the past but none particularly last too long, I am always in the position where just by getting to know girls i end up hitting the friend zone too easily. Pretty much every girl that knows me says im completely lovely and all that other jazz but unfortunately the bulk of women I meet are only interested in the arseholes, and the girls that are generally interested in me are ridiculously ugly, not intellectually stimulating, or complete sluts im not interested in.
In the past 18 months i've had 2 girlfriends, a few people i've been "seeing" and some online-based love interests, however girlfriend #1 ended ridiculously badly, girlfriend #2 got in a strop with me and dumped me over msn because she was more into the relationship to get back at her ex than anything else.... Online ones have been bad luck to say the least... And the people I've been seeing have turned out to be bad people before they became anything else, I cba to go into more detail.
3 weeks time i'll be in scotland seeing a possible love interest, however its pretty much a 50/50 chance nothing will come from it, so yeah i'm not getting my hopes up too much however i am hoping it goes well.
Oh and did I mention that the bulk of medway's women are complete dogs... yeah thats a huge factor! Honestly I can walk into a nightclub and see a maximum of 5 people that based on looks I would spend time with, and by that I mean, they don't repulse me! I'm not saying I'm the most attractive bloke on the planet (im totally 2nd but shhh) but I will admit that even though I've lowered my standards in the past, I honestly don't want to again, honestly theres nothing worse than being fucked over by a girl you initially spent time with based on the fact that she was interested in you when you weren't overly in her but hey everyone needs love occasionally.... yeah....
Yeah so not all that makes complete sense but screw it, im just writing as stuff comes to mind....

Single, never been otherwise. Not entirely by choice, but I haven't exactly been looking either. Let's just say I find social situations stressful enough already.

Well, still single, but I've got a very prominent romantic interest that is so obviously for me that I'm wondering if it's a trap. Seriously. She's like one of the people in that love triangle situation, minus ALL of the negatives, with similar interests to my own, and even cuter. It's kinda... How shall I say it? As I said, it's somewhat creepy how perfectly she fits in.
And we're... How shall I put it? We'll not be dating for a while due to restrictive parentals, but we're planning on several outings later on that will be kinda... like dates without the DATE, so to speak.

Oh my god great topic to revive. I will sum up my own current situation by borrowing your own words and messing with them a little.
"Well, still single, but I've got a very prominent romantic interest that is so obviously for me that I'm wondering if it's a trap. Seriously. She's gorgeous, smart, funny, and wants to be with me. It's kinda... How shall I say it? As I said, it's somewhat amazing how perfect she is.
And we're... How shall I put it? We'll not be dating for a while due to the fact that we're not attending Vassar yet, but we're planning on several outings later on that will be kinda... like dates without the NOT SEX, so to speak."

I'm taken, and we've been together since January 27th, at 1:58 a.m. I can't say who exactly made the first move, but I did ask her out. She's the only girl I've ever been with she's the closest thing to perfect that I could ever have asked for. I don't want perfect, because I want to be able to grow with her into a more unified status, which can't be done if someone is perfect. She's the most beautiful person I have EVER seen, she's smart and funny. She has joined the Exodus (yellow skittle) but she won't post much. Also, we have been together before, but broke up. (There were four years and 16 days in-between) We met on ZoneMatch, was the online game/chat area that was part of Dungeon Siege. Sadly, our relationship is only online because we live on opposite sides of the country. But we're hoping that she can come up here in October for my birthday, and that I'll be able to spend some of next summer with her, hopefully for her birthday.

Mm. I'm honestly surprised at the number of gays out there that are absolute jerks. You'd think they'd be more polite and willing to cooperate to make things work than regular guys, but I think I've only met a handful of gays that weren't total pricks about relationships. (two of which are board members, who as far as I've seen, try their best to be nice and handle things diplomatically)
I wonder what it is that does it to them, as a population though? A sort of insecurity, or what? I'm not just citing isolated incidents... I can name at least half a dozen off the top of my head, and I only know like ten gay people.

It's simple. Gay people are still people ;p
You've gotta look at people as a whole. Every single individual person judges everyone else. It might be positively or negatively. Even so, they still judge people. And every single person has different likes and dislikes. This is what causes "cliques".
Based on that, gay people are no different to other people when it comes to behaviour and judging people. The only difference is that since there's less of us, we're more open to the casual shag.

Mm. I guess it's that which becomes part of the problem. I've seen quite a few incidents where said "Casual" thing becomes... Well, one wants it to turn into a relationship, and one wants just to move on and say "Hey, I had a great time, but you're not my type." And due to that, it lends itself to a lot of issues.
And, as you said, with them being fewer and farther between, I guess that would be slim pickings, no? So, in a sense, more frequently they find themselves forced to choose between "Nuts" or "Nuthin'", while a straight person has about five to ten times as many options open, according to the figures.
