It is this: There is no qualitative difference between friendship and romance, only quantitative. Really, don't friendship and romance differ only in how MUCH you give and how MUCH you want (emotionally, physically, etc.)? Makes sense to me. This is certainly going to free me up to relate in a considerably more relaxed manner. I am amazed that, in all the years I've been struggling with the question, not one of my human advisors ever told me this. I had to reach this through prayer, the ultimate psychotherapy. -- Jeff Sargent/...pur-ee!pucc-h:aeq
