Oooooooh! I wish Stevie would write a "well" song just for me, complete with my name and everything!

Honestly, they all seem like they were accidents ! Not train wreck accidents, but they just happened. As happy as I have been in those times, I am just as happy now with my very close friends, my work, my adorable pets, and not a whole lot of sex or physical intimacy. I have had my fill of that for now, and though it is bound to change, I often think that I will never find "the one" and doubt that such a guy exists. The idea of being single for the long haul is fine with me. It's all good ! And I am so far from asexual it ain't even funny.

Thanks for sharing how you feel. When I think about it, what you've described is all I've really known so far in my life, and it ain't too shabby! It's also delightfully void of most of the drama that comes with relationships, and it's hard to argue against the appeal of that.
