Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Ken.

I think one thing that a lot of us are searching for is
a place where we can be special--and irreplaceable.
I have a lot of friends, but so do each of them, and
sometimes I feel as though I'm just another [brick in the wall?]
date on their calendars.  I look for someone who wants ME--
and no one else! Not just another Close Encounter, not a
nameless shoulder to cry on, but someone who would miss me for
ME and my unique qualities [ahem. No comment from the peanut
gallery. . .].

I'm not running down sex; sex is fun, sex is great
[although I can go without it longer than without
my juicy rationalizations!].  But I feel equally fulfilled
when I know that my best friend of the same sex treasures
me as an individual too.  It's that feeling, more than
anything else, that I'm on the hunt for, not an arm ornament
to take to the next party.
