	This is all kind of bizarre if you ask me - how in the heck
can you have any sort of decent relationship with an SO without being
really good friends?  And if you are really good friends, how can 
you draw the line, and then point and say 'There.  Thats where we
became lovers.'?

	I am still very attached to an ex-girlfriend (in fact we
still live together!) (happily!) but certainly don't want to lose
the chance to socialize with other women.  I also have a number of
women that I am close friends with that I am not 'intimate' with,
although we don't seem to mind casually brushing against each 
other, or an occasional hug or any other sign of affection...

	On a related subject, I have always been amazed at how
people throw away friends when they break up a relationship.  It
just doesn't make sense to me - you've invested a lot of time and
effort (not to mention money and heartache!) into getting to know
that person really well, and letting them know you really well, 
yet if you decide to terminate the intimacy for whatever reason
you become blood enemies.  What a waste.

	Comments?


		Happily single!  :-)   <- how do you make one of those leer?
