They want that insurance that there will be someone there for them (to have and hold and all that stuff). I realized that this was a lot of my motivation a couple years back when I was sure I wanted to marry the girl I was going out with then. Now I'm not even sure I want to get married. I do think about things like, "Gee, can I really live without female companionship?" (I don't plan on becoming a hunter to satisfy silly physical cravings.) I also realize that I'm young (sort of) and that given time, things will work themselves out. But I'm not going to get married just because I don't want to be alone. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
