In the wee hours of the night, I found myself, reading the latest blog by one of the more literate, thoughtful members here. I know what BardnSage meant, by not being sure he can give away his heart, anymore, to a woman / partner; It seems that, along with MY efforts, to find someone to share MINE with, I experience the same hesitancy, that I think he exhibits..... 
Not sure I can really open up, like that. 
Sex is what it is; calorie-burning, clothes free adult romping, at the very least.
Having spent some time in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous many years ago, though, I know I want MORE, than just Friends With Benefits. While I'm certainly able, to have "no strings attached" sex, with my particular set of bumples and curves, it seems like a HUGE and UNWARRANTED risk of my vulnerability, to do so, WITHOUT some emotional connection. 
BardnSages blog let me know I'm NOT ALONE: Dating seems hollow to me, but the truth I have to face, is that MAYBE IT FEELS THAT WAY, because I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK who I am, DEEP INSIDE. 
Since I'm not sure I can get past my fear of opening up and letting someone in, I WILL ADMIT that I believe myself to be JUST THE SAFE PLACE SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS. 
To that end, here's my favorite lyrics, on the topic; The men who like me should DEFINITELY consider it an invitation.... 
Love you, in Fragile Faith and Yearning; 
Gwennie

COME IN FROM THE RAIN
lyrics by Melissa Manchester
Well, hello there
Good old friend of mine
You've been reaching for yourself
For such a long time
There's so much to say
No need to explain
Just an open door for you
To come in from the rain
It's a long road
When you're all alone
And someone like you
Will always choose the
long way home
There's no right or wrong
I'm not here to blame
I just want to be the one
Who keeps you from the rain
From the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older
Wiser, I know I am
'Cause I think of us
Like an old cliche
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older
But Wiser, I know I am
And it's good to know
My best friend has come home again
'Cause I think of us
Like an old cliche
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain
