I don't think we were meant to live out our lives alone. For me, having a man as my best friend would be wonderful. In addition I know a few things about myself and just wishing those thoughts away doesn't work for me. I want to be in a relationship that includes: trust, fidelity, communication, passion and worth more than anything materialistic. Men might not understand this but I would love to have a man in my bed every night. Sex would be great but there's also that wonderful feeling of knowing that the man beside you loves you and wouldn't allow anything to happen to you. He would be your man that would keep you safe. As it is now, I wake up sometimes scared of a noise and all I have is myself to be strong and brave. Thing is, I am not brave or strong. So, yes, I do need a man in my life---forever.
