Heart Like a Wheel

What is lonelier?  To lack any semblance of female companionship in one’s life, or to conduct a series of hopeful first encounters in search of an elusive match when it comes to emotional intelligence and temperament, only to come up empty?

And speaking of hopeful first encounters, the desire to be in relationship with someone special is so great there is a tendency to fantasize a friendship into being, right from the start.  One must learn to temper this in-bred enthusiasm, so as to engage the pleasant stranger in a sober way.
