How long have you gone without being in a romantic relationship?

As an adult, probably 1.5 years was the longest without being in a relationship or at least seriously dating.

If you're currently single: is it by choice or circumstance?

Married, so N/A

Do you / did you enjoy single life?

Yes, overall.

What are / were the pros and cons?

Pros: more time with friends (you should always make time for them and can obviously still interact with them and your partner together but you have to make time for your partner, so there’s less available for friends), time to work on yourself and reflect/improve.

Cons: not having that special emotional connection, having less physical intimacy

Is / was partnership a goal of yours?

Yes, I guess. Enough of a goal that I tried online dating.

If you're currently not single: Did your goals change after getting into a relationship?

No, my personal and professional goals are still the same.
