How many girlfriends/boyfriends have you had?
 

I saw a clickbait thing that mentioned that Jerry Seinfeld had 73 different girlfriends on his show, and this was presented as being unrealistic.

How many girlfriend/boyfriends have you had in your life?

The rules:

We're not talking about people that you've gone on dates with, or people that you've stalked. This is not people you've woken up next to after a night of absinthe and ecstasy. We're also not talking about that weird but kind of hot way that women talk about female friends as "their girlfriend" when they're really just going to the mall together.

We're talking about people that you've dated for long enough that you would refer to the person in conversation as your girlfriend/boyfriend, and they would do the same. You would drink from the same straw as them. That sort of thing.

Girlfriends - less than my username
Girls dated - more than my username

I would say that I'm at three. One in high school, one in college and shortly after, and one as an adult (who I married). There was one other one just before the wifely one that I went on a few dates with, but we didn't really like each other that much and were just bored, so I wouldn't count her.

Just one, and we are still together up until now.

I had two serious girlfriends, the second of which I married. Two other girlfriends that last more than a couple months. The rest were just casual dates that went nowhere.

Define "girlfriend".

Only five that I would call girlfriends by the standards mentioned.

I began dating my wife at 19 though, so each girlfriend lasted on average a year.

5...

They lasted 1.5 years, 11 months, 1.5 years, 4.5 years, and 12 years. I’ve spent a lot of my life having a girlfriend/wife considering I’m 36.

This. There were really only 3 women I dated longer than the 2-4 weeks time frame when I was single. There were women I "dated" on and off again for years but that was more of a friends with benefits thing whenever we were both single.

Edit: By Rainman-rules I guess 3.

At 12 years is that still considered a g/f? I mean, if you're not married you're technically single, so I guess it does...

I checked the wrong box. Should be 16-20.

To me, it's weird to have had a lot of girlfriends. Only the best of the best get made into girlfriends. It's important to make a distinction between girlfriends, girls dated, and sexual partners.

My first date with my wife was my Junior Prom, she was a sophomore at the time. That was 25 years ago. She's the only one I'd consider as having been my girlfriend. Dated her for 6 years before we got married.

Well that's boring
