    No, I’m not. You do not need a romantic or sexual relationship to fulfill intimacy needs.

      Maybe you don’t but many people want a romantic and sexual relationship. There are many things that we don’t need to survive but make our lives vastly more enjoyable. I’ve had long term relationships and times where I’ve been single and while I enjoy my own company and the freedom being single I do miss the closeness of a romantic relationship. Friendships are great but it’s not the same.

        Get good at being closer to your friends.
