For me, i dated 3 men total (including Fi). I had my first bf, then fi, then another guy. Then back to FI. Note: FI and i weren't an on again off again couple. We meet at a summer internship and dated then, but then we both went back to our states (me MO, him NC) for 2 years to finish our undergrad. We kept in contact. Then three years ago we ended up at the same grad school, and now we are engaged :-D
Of my 'real' bf i was the one that dumped but of those half-way little relationships i was the one that got dumped. I kinda saw myself marrying my first BF, but in retrospect i think it was just b/c he was my first bf. I can't imagine being married to him. It sounds like such a bad idea now :-p
Oh gosh...I've dated quite a few guys for longer than a month, but really only consider 3 of those (+ my fiance) to be serious. I honeslty thought I'd marry my last college boyfriend, and was heart-broken for months and months when he broke up with me after dating for over a year. I'd say the others I've dated (both long term and short term) have been about half and half for being the dumpee/dumper.
I officially dated 1 guy for a year and a half but didn't ever consider marrying him considering we dated in high school. I had flings in college but nothing that was official.
I had 4 relationships that lasted over a year and several others last lasted several months. I thought I would marry my high school sweetheart that I dated for over 3 years and the guy I dated after college for 3 years. But neither of those worked out! It all worked out in the end though! After dating all the wrong guys you know when the right one comes along!
Haha.... I'm kind of like Paris Hilton or Tara Reid. I dated so many guys that in college I once came home to find my friends had created a flow chart of my guys. I never really seriously thought of any of them as boyfriends but I did date most for at least a month (but no longer than 3). I had one serious boyfriend in high school and one in college who I considered marrying.
I'm not really sure how many I dated for more than a month, but looking back 3 relationships stand out. HS Boyfriend, College boyfriend, Rebound boyfried. College boyfriend and I got engaged, which I called off. I was dumped by the other 2, which I didn't ever really consider marrying. Then I found FI and I knew from the beginning that it was going to be a forever thing.
Re: How many...
In the end, everything happens for a reason, huh?
