But it is still nice to wonder. :-)

Len's right, sortof. and Edwarda too
You know there have been many many people(generations) who spent their entire life or career studying women and men and they still can't agree on how, why relationships work.
My sliver of a snapshot-(my way of saying I don't know either):
Unless you can endure or brush-off a whole lot of emotional baggage, those times were exciting BUT the price paid can be precariously high, expensive, sometimes escaping but never unscathed (at least,perceptions change). My forays into that tangled web were accidental, curious, tempted, saying yes-( a weakness?) where the ex's and Ms.S were calculated, collaborated, an art or science (weaved that web strong,baby)- what I got from that - my heart torn out and stomped on and handed back rather cold, bloody, barely beating (cynical)-- never the able craftsman in that proclivity--and in trying,I got me hurt, picked up my toys and started over. And of course- I didn't learn from it- lost a little, gained a memory, an experience- a joy.
Know what -- to wonder is nice, a human frailty, even a passion --to actually be in it, you sometimes wonder why you did it. Guess all I can say now is I laugh now, did I ever have a serious relationship.<--- tomorrow I laugh what I wrote.

What I miss- the simple things, the walk in the park.
Enjoy the walk in the park, the gemtlichkeit.

Fun? hmmmm.

(Wanting to on Edwarda's list sounds fun, for maybe, lets say, Tuesday's if she's thinkin' she's a slouch.(LOL) Ahhh- could she put me down for - Lessons on a billiards table. Thank You. Thank You Very Much. I'll never tell.)
Maybe you could ask for couch lessons...strickly educational techniques, of course. Then again there's Len - he'll probably have a say in that. But never hurts in asking.

I think that even the most devoted and monogamous among us wonders. We are human and have desires, right? What matters is what we do abut our wonder and why.

I do not endorse adultery, but I am not such a fool as to believe that any of us has the right to think that we know what is another's heart or to pass judgement.
