There was a great quote this weekend that seems to sum up and find the common thread between most of my male friends and guys I end up interested in:

"I'd make such a great gay man if I didn't like women."

I find that the trouble with being single is not necessarily being alone. I've got good enough friends, and have finally developed enough of a sense of self worth, that I really don't need a relationship to justify me or keep me occupied. The thing that gets depressing is becoming interested in person and then either finding something about them that kills it all, or realizing that they're just not interested in you in that way. It's always just such a let down. I think that aside from simply enjoying the feeling of loving some one and being loved, it's the degree of stability and security that comes from a relationship that I miss. I don't enjoy the constant cycle of meeting people and being let down.
