Definitely long term relationships. I don't see the point in short term relationships. Long term means that your committed to that person, instead of them possibly being gone the next day. I have never been in a short term relationship. I always refused, especially if all the person wanted was a one night stand or something like that. I always refused to do anything like that. My husband, of four years now, and i waited until our wedding night and that is how i think it should be anyways. It is so much more meaningful and passionate. anyways, thanks for sharing and God bless

You have a great point in there! Long-term relationship tests the love of both. Maybe, in one way, short-term relationship has also its share of tests for partners. :-) Thanks

Hi there goldybear! I definitely prefer Long term relationships. I am not into playing and in my age, I don't think I should be playing at all. What I want is commitment, like what I have now. I am very happy with my relationship with my husband right now and I wouldn't want to be in a short term relationship. I think that can be called a fling. And it is not advisable to invest time and emotions in that kind of relationships. How about you?

Like you, I also prefer a long-term relationship before getting into a lifetime commitment. Maybe, this is a way for you to know your partner better. However, I have also this idea, that even if how long you've been together as girl/boyfriends, there are things that you would not know of your partner unless you get married or you live together. So, there's a tendency that the long years of knowing each other sometimes defeats its purpose in this instance. So, sometimes, it doesn't matter really whether, you are in a long-term or short-term relationship before marriage. What matter's most is how you accept and trust each other. :-)

Yeah, understanding the personality of the person especially his/ her attitude is really a process and its not instant! U

I am for long term relationships. If you have a lot of short relationships then people may start to look at you and say: Something has to be wrong with you. Which do you prefer. Welcome to myLot! I am new myself.

I prefer long term relationships! But if I get to know someone better once we start dating and I don't like them as much as I thought I would then I definitely prefer short term ;) haha! I've only really been in long term relationships though and don't really like "dating" people, getting to know people is the hardest part of starting a relationship and it's always so awkward.

I definitely prefer a long term relationship.I have been happily married now going on six years.I hope we stay together forever.I really don't understand people who want short term relationships.I guess its the people that are afraid of commitment.
