:D I've met several people in okcupid as well. They were all casual, though.

Met my current girlfriend on a LGBT forum, though. And then a year later met her in person. :) Love her to death. And don't mind long distance at all.

Not me.

I most likely never will be.

Er, not in the self-defeating way. I just have this really odd nonromantic relationship with a girl summarized by her already planning to come up here to live with me for good/support each other unconditionally/willing to share a bed to sleep in.

It's a bit hazy as to what I should call it.

BFFs? Life partners?

I know life partners is used for married gay people, but to me it sounds like it'd fit more appropriately for a scenario where you live with a friend and plan to support each other for the rest of your lives, but don't have those extra romantic and/or sexual feelings there.

You could say life partners. She trusts me more than anybody else she has ever met, including an ex-boyfriend who was previously her closest friend who she has known a year or two before she knew me.

The difference is that, since it's not romantic, we're both still technically single and she wouldn't mind if I found somebody to be dating and lived with them instead. Unfortunately for that, I feel a weird kind of need to be faithful to her. I start feeling guilty just thinking about being with somebody else considering all the time and emotions and secrets we've shared. I'm still willing, but I have a lot to weigh before I actually date somebody, like if they'll still be interested post-op, my relationship with my friend, where the person lives, et cetera.

Nope. I've only had one serious relationship in my life, which was a few years ago - with a person I met here on MAL. =) I think I'd like to be involved with someone again, but on the other hand I also think that I'm better off on my own for some things. For sure, I'm not going out of my way to seek a relationship - I've never done that, which of course makes it harder to happen. XD

Something like this would probably work the best for me, at least right now. It's actually been sort of a dream of mine since a long time.

No, but I want to have a relationship. It's really difficult to find anyone , that is in my taste and has an interest in manga. I'm kind of desperate for now.

It's ok to be in a relationship with someone that is not interested in manga... right?

Maybe people who are into any of your other hobbies?

I'm a single pringle!!

I would like to date and start a relationship, but I don't think my health is good enough at the moment for me to be able to give my time for another man.

So single I'll remain until my health gets better - which is hopefully sooner than later.

I prefer someone that is interested in manga, but it isn't a must. I already happy if the person is like my taste.

I'm single as all hell, and would kinda need to develop friendships to be willing to contemplate a "romantic" relationship. Also, not really sure if what I'd want would be any different than an intense friendship anyways, besides the sense of exclusivity and a lessened personal space bubble.

Hey! I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you can you should really fix the alternatives in the poll. something like "same sex" or "opposite sex" when discussing relationships in a lgbta+ area are very limited. please focus on gender rather than sex, and also aknolwledge there's a lot of different geners and some don't have one!
Thanks

I'm single af and couldn't be happier about it. Though it wouldn've been fun to try it out I am more than satisfied being alone (with my friends)

Also, now that I think of it, a poly option would probably be useful for some people, although this poll is getting kinda old.

No I'm not currently in a relationship. None of the relationships ive been in has the person known that I'm bigender or bisexual, apart from online relationships which never seam to last very long. I do want a relationship though.

Speaking of OkCupid, the service has worsened a lot over the course of the last year, not to mention that filters are completely broken. Despite all the appalling changes they made, the service is still better than most other online options I tried. However, I'm glad someone managed to get a relationship through that.

I'm in a relationship with the cutest, kindest trans woman ever. I love her so much. I wish all of my singles out there that want it a relationship that leaves them just as happy. We met online and realised how we like many of the same things(started with music, then anime, games, political ideology) and she was just the one. Also helped that she ended up living very close.

Yes, in a same-sex relationship. We've met on Discord, and I "noticed" him from the first time. He did it later, but in the end he asked me to be in a relationship with me. I'm happy with him and I hope, we will stay together forever. ^^

I met my ex-gf through a discord about ace attorney, but long-distance didn't work out for us. but the best way to find partners and friends is def just to get out into the world and go to anime spaces! at your library, local cons (esp small ones), school clubs and orgs...
