Mr. Right Now?

I hung out with my roommate tonight and it was so fun. Its nice to finally have a roommate that I can hang out with and relate to.

On an unrelated note, a friend of mine asked me a good question that I think a lot of women can relate to..."why am I attracted to a guy just because he's the only one around?" (not physically in the room, but in your consideration set) interesting, right? I'm not sure I even know the answer, but I know I have the same feeling sometimes. Like when you meet a guy that you aren't necessarily attracted to, but you agree to go on a date with him because you have no other date offers on the table. Or you find yourself wanting to call a guy that isn't so nice to you just because there are no other guys calling you. It's frustrating for me because I like and want to be independent but I find myself always interested in a guy at all times (not necessarily in an I-want-to-marry-this-guy sort of way, just an it'd-be-nice-to-get-to-know-him-better way). Maybe its because we are meant to be with a man, so when there isn't a potential someone around we create one so that we can feel like we are on the path to that end. Or maybe its because everyone desires intimacy, no matter where it comes from, whether physical or emotional, and when there is no one around to provide that you kind of latch on to the next closest thing.

Who knows really? All I know is that I have these feelings sometimes...as does my friend. If you have any thoughts on the matter, please do share.
