There's nothing wrong with having standards when it comes to men. But I think your mistake with the guy in Chiang Mai was that you only considered whether he made you lust or pine after him. You might have missed the perfect opportunity to meet an interesting person or even make a new friend!
Sex is great, but it's not necessarily something people should chase just for the sake of it. What most people are seeking is connection.
I agree! Absolutely. I'm not just looking for sex, but, I have lots of friends already. I really do. Lots of people that I love and admire and want to hang out with. I want a deeper connection. With a man that I care about. That's what's missing. Thanks for your comment, though. I appreciated it!
I totally understand that desire for a deeper connection. Do you believe that a romantic relationship can develop over time out of a platonic friendship?
Yes, I do. But I find that most people are just not interested in taking the time to see it develop. There is impatience on both sides, I'm afraid.
