   Obviously someone hasn't really experienced the true feelings
of a really good and strong relationship.  If all that I want is a one
night stand, or casual non-involved relationships, there are
many places I can go and many things I can do (be creative) to
relieve the physical desires I may have without getting involved
with even worrying about if my breath is all right, or my hair
is parted evenly.
    It gets back to sticking your neck out.   If you want something,
you have to be able to take a chance on losing.  You can't win big
if you don't bet big.  
    I have been in a very deep and special relationship, and the
emotional (vs physical) rewards were fantastic.  Unluckily it
didn't work out, and I got burned real bad, but I also got enough
out of it that I am more than willing to put myself and my
commitments into trying again, and again if necessary.  One of
the things I found out was that in order to be very close to
someone, you have to be willing to commit yourself.  You have to
take a stand as well as a chance. 
   Well, I better quit before(?) I get too boring, but I for
one am looking for something that is a lot more than just a
superficial relationship.
