I am not a fan of the opposite sex...

I continually remember the words from a book a recently finished: He's just not that in to you. And it is totally true. If someone really want to hang out, they will remember to call. If someone really wanted to do something, schedules can be rearanged.

Everyday this becomes more of a reality to me. I don't know why I let it bother me so much. Hey, more time for me and no worries, right?. But you have to admit that a little cuddle time is always welcome. At least I think so.

I think it is our inherent nature as human beings to seek out the companionship of others. Whether it be for friendship, a relationship, or whatever. As human beings we long to be with others.

It helps to explain the nature of social circles and our longing to be a part of something. Who we are with may define us socially. Who we are with may help to further define us. It all really circles back to that longing to share ourselves with others.

The Internet has been a huge expansion of meeting the need for companionship and social interaction. Years ago it may not have even been imagined that we could share our joys and also our deepest fears with people on the other side of the world. It was done through pen pals, but that took ages it seemed like.

I have my family and that is a great blessing. I have friends whom I talk to every-now-and-again. And I am patiently waiting for someone who isn't scared to take one step into the darkness and light up what may or may not be there.
