Not like some of the Sex in the city trashy pieces we sometimes read about sex and gay relationships.

Honesty is a great virtue.

People are very complex and its difficult but not impossible to find a wonderful loving funny charming intelligent compatible life partner.

Importantly enjoy the search and the journey and dont get caught up in what you perceive to be the end game.

I’m chronically single and after asking friends about it they basically all said to me “It’s obvious you can equally live with someone and without someone. So guys who want to be in a relationship look elsewhere.’ It’s sort of a backhanded compliment.

Perhaps Matt you’re like that, a half-way man. You can live with a guy, in fact want it, but on the other hand, can live without it and get along fine.

Maybe you need “a two or three day a week relationship?” as my mate Kris suggested to me.

Then again, maybe we just haven’t found the right guy. Love in all the wrong places?
