Years ago I made a decision to never ever force relationships. To take them for what they are and appreciate them for that. And to never whine about what they’re not. Look to the good.

What happened? I became adaptable to others. I have a lot more friends, mostly limited to specific interests. I have a girl friend I go to football games with in the fall. We don’t date, she is much younger, and we appreciate us for who we are. I have a friend for intelligent things like literature. We found a common interest in British comedy in addition. No sex with her either. I have another friend, she loves me for the sex. That’s pretty much all we do other than special occasions. I have a theater friend, a golfing friend, and even a girl who loves me very much who might love me THAT much some day. No pressure, she likes the comfort of no pressure as well. Maybe we will grow into a couple who fulfils all for each other?

My point is this: We all look for a knight in shining armour. Maybe what we need are lots of knights who collectively fill our lives with all we ever want and need?
