Only recently ive discovered that i dont really need or want love. Deep down all i really need/want is some chick to cuddle up to, hug, and do stuff with. i think i went off love about a year ago. i mean if i find love in the process of doing this yippie for me, love is not a bad thing at all, im just not going to go out looking for it.
dose anyone else feel this way?
Yeah, I exactly feel that way. I've fallen in love LOTS of times, I've been succesful in 0 of them. I personally feel that I can live without love for a person (love for ideals and/or countries are a different topic IMHO), but I wouldn't refuse it if I had the opportunity to get a girl who loved me. Not necessary, but it would make my life so much better.
However, as you say, unless I find myself in a situation where I have a chance of 99,95% of success, I won't move a finger to seduce a girl. Been there, tried that, didn't work. And it hurts lots. It's so DAMNED difficult! If a girl falls in love with me and asks me out, I'll surely answer "yes", but if no one does that, I'll just wait here. Good enough for me.
As for ideals and patriotism, I don't think them to be exclusive for love. And, this is true, I don't think anyone can live without ideals, although some people with certain ideals certainly SHOULDN'T live...
