>>10 Those things are more of a hassle than they're worth (or so it seems to me; I'm in the same boat as you, after all). Even if you experienced whatever ideal relationship you're longng for, you'd only be left with a tainted and unpleasant memory when it was over. Stick to your pure fantasies and dreams that won't become corrupted.
I'm making some assumptions, I know, but I can't imagine anyone actually wanting a realistic relationship after having observered more than a few.
