Out of whack

Am back from my whirlwind tour of the S.E. USA. In addition to great times in Atlanta and Athens, I ended up stopping off in VA to visit another friend. This friend happened to be a boy, and a quality one at that. He also is pretty firmly ensconced in the NE, far from here. He's temporarily in the area, though, and we were able to take advantage of that.

The 24-hour affair kind of messed with my mind a bit. On the one hand, I am more optimistic that there has to be someone out there for me. Unfortunately it does nothing about my fear that there isn't anyone HERE. And I also have the feeling (based on little more than gut) that there's an imbalance of interest.

There was no "what next? (if anything)" discussion. I feel very out of my element.
