	The only answer I can give you is that love makes a person do
strange things. In a letter I recently wrote to a good friend of mine in
China I more or less pondered the same question. That is, this friend
and I have a great deal in common (we both love the same type of music,
literature, and we both love to travel and well as many other things)
and I don't find him to be particularly unattractive. He's also very
intelligent, witty, etc. And he's not gay or married. And yet... it's
not the same as what I feel when I'm with my beau. I can't explain it,
and don't want to even try. But I guess that being in love is the only
answer that I can give you.

	Share and enjoy -
