you can actually find love that way. its a weird strategy, but it works.

Forgive my asking, but doesn't that seem a bit, well, shallow?

when you think about it, allpeople do it like that, except they do it unconciously. it may be shallow but is it a bad thing? you have to find people you like first to fall in love.

Get a cat or a dog. They make the best companions.

If it's lust not love you're talking about I think it's only normal...

Everyone seems to look at it from the wrong perspective! Its not a bad thing being single. No honey-do list, no reporting in, no battles about over the bed yatta yatta. You get to do whatever you want! Its a freedom you should cherish at the moment.

i do not know what love is. i love (in a paternal way i guess) my animal friends, and i am concerned for the well being of my human friends.

but i do not know what it is that people dance around in joy about when they say they are in love.

i never think about love objectively. it never occurs to me. i feel complete and i need not search for someone else to "complete" me.

but i encounter lives that i am agonizingly concerned for, and that may be love, but i do not seek those encounters.
