I do not see anything abnormal in preferring to live alone. Just bear in mind that a lot of potential SO's may want to have a live-in relationship. You must decide which is more important to you. Personally, I enjoy having someone to keep my bed warm every night, and it seems absurd to pay the cost to keep up two places when you spend that much time together anyway. I think it all depends on how much time you and your current SO naturally want to spend together. I agree that I do not like sharing my place of residence with non-SOs. I like having complete control over my environment. I would not want to give that up unless it is for a reason that is even more important to me, like having "that kind" of relationship. It's a tradeoff: for more closeness you get less "freedom" (for lack of a better word to use). --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!woods CSNET: woods@NCAR ARPA: woods%ncar@CSNET-RELAY "Comes a time, when a blind man takes your hand, says don't you see..."
