2. How many relationships have you had? 2

3. How long was/is your longest lasting relationship? 10 months, current relationship

4. Are you in a relationship now? Yes

5. Were you friends before you started dating? (past or present relationships) No we just jumped into it.

6. Do you regret any of your past relationships? If so, why? I mean, I wouldn't say I regret them. I could have made more meaningful choices, but I'm happy for the experience.

7. If you are single, how do you feel about being single? N/A

8. Do you want to get married someday? Yes

9. Do you feel like you can be yourself in your relationship? (past or present relationships) Yes. I can be 100% myself of all the time without worrying about judgement or worry that I'm not 'sexy' enough.

10. If you could ask any question about relationships, and have it answered, what would it be? It's definitely a goofy/cliché one, but I guess I would like to know when to take the next step. Not marriage specifically, but we're in a serious relationship and both upperclassmen in in college. When is it appropriate to start planning a future together (moving in together, applying to jobs in the same city, etc)?

Hey Girls,

*************************************************************************************************************

Before you start, please answer all of these questions 100% honestly. Thank you!

1. How old are you? 21

2. How many relationships have you had? One "real" relationship, and then I had 3 other people who I called my boyfriend for a small amount of time, lol... if that makes sense. I guess they're all technically 'relationships', I just never really thought of the other 3 that way.

3. How long was/is your longest lasting relationship? 4 years, 1 month so far.

4. Are you in a relationship now?  Yep

5. Were you friends before you started dating? (past or present relationships) I was kind of friends first with my grade 8 boyfriend. The relationship I was im now... we started being friends kind of liking one another? So...a friendship with different intentions? lol

6. Do you regret any of your past relationships? If so, why? I regret one of my boyfriends, Matt. He was incredibly abusive and just generally an asshole.

7. If you are single, how do you feel about being single? N/a

8. Do you want to get married someday? Yeah, one day.

9. Do you feel like you can be yourself in your relationship? (past or present relationships) In my other 'relationships', no, definitely not. I never really had the time to let them get to know me, and I was never completely comfortable with them. In this one, he's my best friend, and I can act just like myself.

10. If you could ask any question about relationships, and have it answered, what would it be? Now I can answer virtually all of them pertaining to me, but a huge one back in the day was how to know whether or not you're in love.

Thank you so much in advance to everyone who participates.
