Why are you not seeking out relationships?
–Inquiring Minds

I am neither seeking nor hiding from a relationship. When I meet someone who excites me, I try to spent time with them. Sometimes this turns into a relationship, sometimes not. It really comes down to “does this person excite me?” If they do excite me, is it to the extent that I’m willing to declare exclusivity? I.e. am I excited enough to ignore other options?
