Please be my friend!

You’re right, good friends and family can help fill that void. However it’s still not really the same to me. Friends and family can only do so much, romantic love is something I miss. Plus when you’re truly a full partner with someone, that’s more than friends or even family. Ideally speaking, a life partner shares fully in everything. They wholly invest in your life together and you’re both on the hook together whether it’s financial or day to day. You could maybe even say that about a really amazing best friend but that’s still lacking romantic love. It’s obvious we value different things on this, I respect that.

I have the opposite opinion, I wish I had someone there for me. Not just in cases when sick but to be supportive in life in general and feel loved and vice versa. Alone time is good but not all the time, and I’d say not most of the time in my opinion.
