Unlike Greg, it has not been my perception that if a relationship
progresses to a close friendship stage then sex and romance will
not enter into it.  I don't think most women feel that way.  I have
had some very beautiful and incredible experiences when that "good
friend" suddenly changed right before my very eyes and become
something unspeakably special.  It is not going to happen all the
time.  Those *special* things never do, but don't close your mind
to them either.

I have had male friends that I was interested in but they wanted to
be "just friends".  I may have been dissappointed, but not frustrated.
Seeing them and being together was not a *big* problem.  I get great
emotional satisfaction from friendship and communication that
overcomes the dissappointment.

And, like LyndaF said, I LIKE MYSELF.  I seldom feel lonely but I am
often alone.  I am comfortable being alone and in fact relish it.  I
think liking YOURSELF is the first step to finding someone that LIKES
YOU TOO!!!
