 I think that the foregoing is a copout. Gene has summed it up well with
the last line there. My personal experience has been that if I wait around
for someone to find me, I may end up waiting forever. I agree that one should
live and enjoy their life to the fullest but if that happens to include being
without a MOTOS, it isn't as enjoyable. I don't like to do things alone. And I
for one prefer the company of a MOTOS when doing things than a MOTSS. One of
the reasons being that with a MOTSS it always seems as if there is an under-
current of competition going on and though I am FAR from being any kind of a
wimpout, I am not a competitive person. I like satisfying myself, not everyone
else. The man sez, "you can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself".
And I don't like to sleep alone though I would rather sleep alone than do the 
one night stand rountine. Having someone to share and care (at least for me)
changes the very way in which I view the world. For me, I'll continue to let
MOTOS know I'm around, available, and interested. If I meet with rejection,
I'll ignore IT, NOT the path to my heart's desire. There is NOTHING that I 
have ever felt that sharpens the senses and heightens the perceptions like that
feeling one gets when love is new and growing. 
Also, keep in mind that if one does not ask, one will always wonder.
