I don't think you can have too many relationships -- as long as they are actually relationships, not one night stands. I'm 16, I remember about 10, but they're just the ones that stick in my memory for some reason. I don't think it should matter how many relationships you've been in -- just live life to the full, lolz...

What do you mean by relationships? Going out for a certain length of time?

when i say relationship i mean you and another person verbally stating that you two are now deciding to date each other exclusively. You will also carry the title of boyfriend or girlfriend

Was that at a certain age or at same time. wow I have heard of two or three but sixteen is a lot. How did you manage al of them? I think debate should be on this, if its posiible to manage them all at one time.

Uh boy! I will be 45 this year. I have been in 3 serious intimate relationships, 2 of them were/are marriages. The one in between lasted less than a year. Definitions of relationships vary. I have been concerned because my 10 year old has always spent a lot of time with boys. She prefers to play with boys than girls because she likes sports. This concerned me immensely until, while writing in my journal, I realized that she will have had the benefit of being exposed to many male friendships and will hopefully know what she is looking for in a man when the time comes. I did not have the benefit of having male friends as I was very shy. I didn't have a real relationship until I was 22. I never had one male friend in high school. I think my daughter will be better off being able to be friendly with boys.

It's not the number it is the quality. I gave up bachelorhood in my thirties. You don't want to know how many it has been since I regained it.

I am seventeen and I have only been in one long term relationship. I've been with my boyfriend for three years now but i've had quite a few short term relationships. About five that i would count i think. ;]

I'm 24 and have been in about 15 relationships. I don't think you can have too many relationships at a certain age, but I do think that it is a good idicator that you're just not ready for a long term yet. Don't get me wrong that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's always best to take some time off though and reflect.

HOly moly... some people here have been active on the dating scene! I'm 33 and have been in 6 relationships, the 6th being my HUSBAND! Granted, I dated a lot of men, but none I would consider a relationship. I had 65 dates with 40 men in ONE YEAR! And in that year not ONE of the became a relationship or even anyone I kissed!! That's crazy. But none of it matters now, I'm happily married and all the ups and downs were worth it!

I am 31 and married for 2 years before we get married with my hubby i have been into 2 serious relationship and 1 fling...:)my hubby and i have been in a relationship for 12 years before we finally settle down and in those times though there are also guys who courted me but i intend to be one man woman, i valued relationship and not taken it for granted. I don't believe that a person can have too many relationship at a certain age. It really depends on you.If you'd like to collect and select it's up to you to make a choice but just be aware of the consequences then, you might be tracked at a wrong tree then:D

I was 23 years old when I had my first relationship. I only have one relationship since then. Others have so many and are capable of having as many as they wanted.

Relationships are good if they can stand the test of time,l dont believe in many relationships,the fewer the better,thats why you do not allow your emotions to take over you sense of reasoning,so that you can make the best decisions and not have over a 100 relationships that lead to nothing.

I am 31 years old and I have had two relationship in my life. I think it depends on the person if he can handle relationships, the good thing is that if you have so many relationship then you have so many learned experiences and that's good.

I'm almost 18 and I've only been in four relationships. I feel like the age that I'm at is prime time for me to meet different people (girls included) and find out more about myself. I also believe that when ppl bounce from relationship to relationship, it becomes a necessity, like u have to have a relationship.
