I read your posts, giddykitty. I also have problems with intimacy. I functioned the best in a relationship that does not much involve intimacy. Quite frankly, I do not fully understand what is intimacy, and what kinds work in a relationship. I know this is a sad commentary on myself. You know? This is the first time I have thought about this. Enough discussion on this topic.

Lately I have been going to a restaurant for coffee or water while surfing the Internet. I do this when I feel a bit lonely. This also gives me something to do , and somewhere to go. Sometimes I meet a person there who I have seen there in the past. So I talk to him.
