Isn't anyone a healthy temperature anymore? Must everyone be all hot or all cold?

Why are distance relationships either so distant that the hope of touching practically doesn't even exist or is so desperate that you can't breathe?

I am nearly 100% convinced that distance is a barrier that is almost impossible to overcome. And of those who overcome that barrier...how is it done?

The dynamics of a “local”, “normal” relationship involve dating, little tidbits of getting to know one another over coffee, a hike, dinner, a movie; sampling the eye-to-eye interactions which allow both of you to try on the relationship in bite-size and manageable portions before you commit.

Long-distance relationship attempts are unable to provide this, and to me, that appears to be the one greatest factor in determining the success or failure of such an attempt. At any rate, in a distance relationship, the bonding seems to only be able to go so far before a meeting becomes necessary in order for the relationship to go forward.

I am disheartened, discouraged and depressed, and it seems quite probable that I'm going to die without having found a suitable partner with whom I can experience this period of my life. Sure, I can live alone, and living alone can even be pleasant. But it's definitely not my preference.

Sorry about the ramble, and the drama. Please continue to move freely about the universe.
