How many boyfriends/girlfriends did you date before you met your soulmate?

2. In hindsight, really just good friends.

Sparks flew with # 3. Entirely different relationship. Sunday will be our 40th anniversary.

Two. First was puppy love. Second was my ‘first love’, by the fifth year together we’d have had Depp and Heard rolling their eyes and asking us to dial it down a bit.

Took a 2 year break on dating, focused solely on amassing the kind of fortune that would let me just buy a toxic relationship to replace the last one. Instead, I met the woman I married. That was 24 years ago in October.

@tvguy Congratulations on the 40'th,,that's certainly a milestone. I hope you have a great day

As to the question asked. I dated 23 guys,,then the serious one that I ended up marrying. That lasted almost 28 years. Then I found 'the one', and I am happily married to my soulmate and it will be 22 years in September.

I started dating hubby at 15 so very few. I had 3 middle school "boyfriends" (I don't think those count, lol) but it's just been him since I met him!

 

[disykat]

Only one serious relationship before DH. He had zero and really hadn't dated at all before me. As for "soulmates" we're probably still waiting on that LOL, but we definitely knew we were a good match after we'd been seeing each for a couple of months. (DH and I have a running joke when we don't understand each other at all - we look at each other, wave two fingers back and forth between us with a nod and a tongue click and say "simpatico." We are so different!)

 

[Planogirl]

I seriously dated four guys, had a big crush on another and married one before I married my last dh.

 

[Meriweather]

a couple puppy dog love ones in elementary school.
Met DH in middle school and we have been together ever since.
Will be married for 48 years on June 15

I’m 59 and have had several, and honestly I don’t think I‘ve been with my last …..

 

[antmaril]

I married my first boyfriend. I was 16 and he was 15 when we started going together. We were married 34 years when he passed away in 2008. He was my one and only. I am now 70 years old.

 

[2letterwords]

I dated a handful of guys in high school but only one was anything remotely serious. I broke up with that guy for my now-husband. We're together 25 years this year.

 

[ronandannette]

I don't have a soul-mate; I don't believe in that at all. Prior to my DH, I had three other significant adult relationships, including a previous marriage. I had two boyfriends in highschool but there was never any thought of either of them being permanent.

 

[prairie_girl]

Four, plus two that were very casual.

How many boyfriends/girlfriends did you date before you met your soulmate?

Zero for both of us even though we met in 1st grade, September 1956. We had our 49th Anniversary Dinner on MSC Divina last night as we were leaving Costa Maya.

 

[AustinTink]

Four serious boyfriends before meeting my husband.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I dated the same guy off and on for 3 years in high school. I finally broke it off for good. Briefly dated 2 other guys my senior year. Broke up with one of them and the other moved away. Met my future husband when I was 18, about 6 months after I graduated. We both worked at the same resort hotel. He was 25. Married a year later and we’ll be celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary this year.

I’m at 5 right now, not counting random dates with guys that never really made it to “boyfriend” status. At 50 I don’t think finding a “soul mate” or life partner is in the cards for me.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I am not sure a "soulmate" exists for most people. That said before meeting my DH, I was married 2X before and had one more BF that I would call serious.

many

I dated a lot. A lot. It was my hobby. I honestly don’t remember many of their names, since we only went out a few times. DH was my college sweetheart. I don’t believe in soulmates. There’s no way your soulmate usually winds up being from the same town, university, workplace, etc. I think you just meet people, usually from being in proximity, and eventually find one you click with. But you would’ve clicked with others if you’d lived elsewhere.
