so lately I've been thinking that it sucks to spend so much time alone, but I have no real desire to actually pursue a relationship in real life. Don't get me wrong I think the opposite sex is great, but I just don't want to deal with the stress involved.

So I have been thinking that I could pursue one online, one that I know has no chance of success. But I feel bad cause I would only really be using this other person to fill a need in my life. I doubt I can really just pitch my idea to strangers and have it work out, not many people are able to look at a situation as objectively as I can. So I guess I would have to manipulate them. But in the end if the feelings are real should it matter? Granted it is setting up for disappointment down the road but that's not something I'm too worried about.

Does this make any sense? Or am I being naive in my thinking. I'd rather go about it this way then actually make any real commitment.
