Why do you choose being in a couple instead of staying single?
Do you enjoy sharing your daily life with someone you love, is it because of guaranteed regular sex, money, sub/consciously to fit the norm or is it for other reasons ?

^Mainly to fill large, gapping emotional hole.. but i've realised how futile that is and have moved on to torrid flings that last a week and feeding stray cats. What a wonderful difference! Oh the freedom of it  . |

Truly, it is sometimes easier being alone. Not nearly as interesting, though.
I can't do casual dating. If I'm dating, I'm basically looking for a long term partner. I dunno why I'm wired that way, but I am.
But yeah, sex sure. Money, not so much. Sharing time with a like minded individual, certainly. I try not to question it so much (as is my nature) and just enjoy the time spent together.

For me, the company of women is most enjoyable when they are already in a comfortable relationship. Dating, with its rituals and mundane affectations, doesn't put the best light on feminine personalities. The virtues of women doth shine in the captivity of their marriage. How I wish I could take a mistress!
How I wish I could've had that woman! That splendid woman who sat next to me on the my flight from Japan to Hong Kong. The way she talked about her children, she had two children around my age, inspired me to find a woman like that to raise my own children. The way we connected over our conversation about literature, politics, travel, and industrial machinery, made me long to know a woman capable of accepting my whole being. The way she greeted me as I woke from my nap on the flight, warmed me more than any sun that I saw rise on a fall morning. The way she whispered goodbye... pained me the way a lover's parting should. There are still women like that in the world, women that great men write about. How lucky I was to enjoy the company of one and how unfortunate it was to see her go. But I wouldn't have traded that time for a thousand dates. I would trade a thousand more to see her again. And more still, the less I find another woman like her.

What a wonderful difference! Oh the freedom of it . LIES! BEAUTIFUL LIES!!! |

Sometimes you wait and wait and wait until you think you've found that special one, and then...  |

Palaver and Phil, sometimes the deepest connections between people are fleeting, be it strange Jet Set encounters on planes or at the arcade playing Q-Bert. Maybe its best to let it go and spend the rest of your life healing your heart over..regretting a lost opportunity.
