The single life doesn't suit me.
I mean 11 years ago it might have, but it doesn't now. It just feels... incomplete.
Do I like being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want? Sure. But I've pretty much been lucky enough to have partners throughout most of my life where that wasn't a *huge* issue anyway.
I've met some exceptionally interesting, sexual, engaging people since my break up - I'd completely forgotten what it's like to meet someone new, then *meet* someone new. But it causes all kinds of conflicts in my head.
On one hand the thrill, the high, if you will, of getting to explore someone for the first time is pretty much impossible to beat - then again, once you're in the hands of someone who knows you well - that too, is pretty much impossible to beat.
It's a catch 22, and I'm not sure how you overcome that.
One things for sure, I'm not sitting by the phone waiting for someone to call and tell me.
It's one of those things that requires empirical research, I think.
