Okay so here's what happened: overall we had a good visit any way you cut it. She's a long time friend so of ocurse it was good to see her. We wnt to dinner, did some hanging out, went out for a few drinks, had lunch the next day, stuff like that which she probably won't be doing with male friends in other cities after she's officially hitched. There was a lot of physicality....hand holding and the like but we didn't cross that line at any real petting or kissing. Not sure I wanted to do that either. It's okay if I changed my mind about going for that.
She was going to stay at a hotel but was really tired when she dropped back in at my pad for an after-drinking snack and a movie, so she ended up crashing on the bed, as did I. Didn't lay a hand on her. In the morning I gave her one of my intense trademark back rubs which brought her to an orgasm. Seriously, I didn't touch anything but her back while doing this. So that was kind of a consolation prize. She went to say hi to some other friends who live locally then we got together for some coffee. I sensed everything was just fine. I assured her anything that happened physically was not at all unusual even if she was engaged.
You know what this is probably about? Coveting. That's what it's about. One of the most difficult sins to deal with. I wish I was with someone but I just don't have the energy to go out and play that fucking ridiculous game anymore. If everything I've done so far *still* shows me being single, there is now way in hell I have whatever it takes to actually find someone. I'm already tapped and still single. I give the fuck up. I guess you just got to know when I hang something up in the end. I'll die alone in some fucking horror of a charity hospital and be throw into a pauper's grave, that's the bottom line. May as well live for today and learnto like what there is about singleness. It's been this way since junior high, so it ain't gonna change now.
